The “Threat” From Central Asia 223


The threat of Islamic fundamentalism rising up in and pouring out from Central Asia, is a popular theme of those who design Western security – or hydrocarbon – strategies. It is in order to exagerrate the threat from Central Asia that the US and UK use the Karimov regime to torture “Confessions” out of Central Asian “Al-Qaida” members.

Al-Jazeera has this week been running a feature documentary by Michael Andersen, a Danish journalist who really does know Central Asia, It should be required viewing for anyone with an interest in the “War on Terror”. You can still catch it on Al-Jazeera today and tomorrow, or throught this link.

    “According to Richard Tomlinson 60lb devices were hidden by the KGB IN America but the FBI called such reports ‘exaggerated’ – such a bomb is highly complex requiring neutron amplifiers and cannot combine enough shielding to prevent detection from particle monitors spread around the capital.”

    Mark, what the fuck does that even mean? Did you just refute yourself there?

  • Arsalan

    Anyway

    I’m not intrested in what Larry thinks I can shove up my arse.

    I am more intrested in angry’s Friend Ahmed Rashid, and telling everyone what a bitch he is.

    “Perhaps I know a bit more about this because my 5th grade (when I was 11) science project was on creating a fission device.”

    OK Larry,

    Strontium90 half life is 28 years and its decay is A=Aoe^-0.024755t.

    How long will it take 50grms strontium90 to decay to 20grms?

    “Perhaps I know a bit more about this because my 5th grade (when I was 11) science project was on creating a fission device.”

    “Nice troll, very neatly dropped in.”

    Did it work, by the way ?

    this is weird:

    “the ability to do so is a matter of time. wouldn’t you think, in 50 years, producing U-235 will be a bit easier than it is today? otherwise, don’t you think there will be more fissable material in existence?”

    ?

  • Arsalan

    Well here goes,

    Ahmed Rashid is a Neocon Bitch. He isn’t a journalist he is just a Bitch and the Neocons are his pimps.

    This is because Journalists are people who try and find information to report on. While Ahmed Rashid just write what his pimps tell him to write.

    We all know that Neocons torture people. To make the torture they make justification that they do so to find out where a bomb is hidden.

    So when the likes of Ahmed Rashid accuse members of non-violent opposite of working with armed opposition. the Bitch Ahmed Rashid is justifying the torture, not just justifying but aiding and abetting.

    So when people who are not part of any armed stuggle, and are members of groups that the world and everyone in it know are non-violent are boiled alive.

    Ahmed Rashid shares the blame. Not just shares, he has the lions share, because the policemen and soldiers doing the boiling are just following orders. Ahmed Rashid is the one giving them, by justifying them.

    And this is the man whose book Angrysober recommended, and this is the bitch who angry but sober said wears his heart on his sleeve.

    So Angry, your knowledge and your belief that it is possible to construct a nuclear wardhead in a shead and hide it up your arse is based on your 5th grade education?

    Why am I not surprised?

  • technicolour

    Drat, of course, these days trolling is more about getting people to skim read and accept nonsense & therefore seem to acquiesce with the trolling. In the old days it was more ‘you’re a bunch of cunts’ and therefore easier to spot. This didn’t quite work, in that I thought it was stupid, but nor did I feel it worth taking up, either. So I guess it ‘worked’, in a way.

  • Larry from St. Louis

    “was on creating a fission device”

    Not

    “was creating a fission device”

    I thought I expressed that correctly, and I did.

  • Anonymous

    sorry angry, that last one was for larry.

    that is unless you are the same person.

    so Larry, your knowledge and your belief that it is possible to construct a war head in a shed and hide it up your arse is based on your American 5th grade education?

    Do you want to know something?

    I believe you!

    And do you want to know something else?

    I am not surprised!

    Do you know what I just remembered. Do you lot remember when Blear said he had evidence that Iraq was able to construct Nuclear weapons before the war. And he said that they can do so in large trucks and all the scientists were saying that was impossible.

    Then after the war it turned out he was using a stolen piece of homework from a university student as his evidence?

    Do you think Brown and Obama are using Larry’s 5th grade homework to do this terror scare?

  • technicolour

    OK, Larry, in British schools the idea of having *any* lessons on ‘creating a fission device’ is kind of unthinkable? Except in the most abstract way possible, which would never lead you to cite it on a blog as proof of anything.

  • Larry from St. Louis

    “so Larry, your knowledge and your belief that it is possible to construct a war head in a shed and hide it up your arse is based on your American 5th grade education?”

    No, you silly gooses are not understanding.

    I was clearly not arguing that a 5th grader could create a fission device.

    I was merely mentioning that I read a lot about how to create a fission device, and my science project was on how to create one. In addition to book research, I talked to a working physicist in my neighborhood and he impressed upon me the fact that creating a fission device is really just a matter of having the material.

  • Arsalan

    After reading what Tech just wrote. Correction, I don’t believe you.

    In British schools, we have English Maths, Science French, maybe German. In American Schools you have constructing nuclear bombs? And at 5th grade?

    I though it was only the Palistinians you accused of doing that?

  • Arsalan

    Larry I think it is about time you try and find another forum to trol.

    You are not going to be able to convert anyone here.

  • arsalan

    I’m bored of Larry now, Tech, do you have any ideas about cooking salmon.

    My wife is at her sisters, so I need to cook my own snacks.

    “OK, Larry, in British schools the idea of having *any* lessons on ‘creating a fission device’ is kind of unthinkable? Except in the most abstract way possible, which would never lead you to cite it on a blog as proof of anything.”

    technicolour, you’ll try everything you can to make yourself feel superior to Americans, won’t you?

    I think you’re quite wrong – I don’t think a British school would prevent a child from doing a project on nuclear fission. There’s a number of uses for a fission device – one big thing that comes to mind, especially for young lads, is Project Orion.

    It can’t be that bad in Britain. You still have science there, right? The faith schools haven’t completely taken over, have they?

  • arsalan

    I have put some Garlic Mushrooms in the oven, so a way of doing salmon that will go with that.

    Any ideas?

  • arsalan

    I can answer what Larry just said, but I would prefer to talk to Tech about what to do with all the salmon I have in my freezer

  • Larry from St. Louis

    Once again, I answer every one of your stupid arguments, and you want to take your ball and go home.

  • Mark Golding - Children of Iraq

    You have to admit Larry is good pulling the thread so it drops out the needle (so to speak)

    Arsalan,

    First sentence of ‘new’ thread for discussion:

    The Armed Forces of Pakistan have recently rejected any prospect of a military operation in any part of the country.

    The nefarious Intelligence agencies that have organized and lead the looting and genocide of millions of people in peaceful and poor nations in the name of War on Terror have done so in order to capitalize on the resources that these countries have. True or False?

  • arsalan

    The armed forces of Pakistan are already fighting all over the country.

    The second bit has always been the case. Big nations attack small. The Warlike attack the peaceful, and the rich attack the poor.

    People are like that.

    I think my Mushrooms are ready now, bye

  • technicolour

    Superior to Americans? What does that mean? Superior to Mark Twain? Thurber? Mencken?

    Anyway, I believe you. Thousands of British schoolchildren are learning to make ‘fission devices’ as I type.
