What great stuff. Unbelievable, but great.

The author of this article is selling newsletters. If you read this article carefully, he jumps to conclusions that are not justified by anything Tenet said. Check out on the web and you'll find that many experts, including our own CIA, have concluded that Red Mercury bombs don't exist. Even if they do exist, if would be an extremely risky move for Russia to give this technology to Iraq. How could they know that Iraq wouldn't turn on them and use these bombs to attack Russia. If Russia has this kind of technology, you can bet they're never going to share it with anybody. Finally, the concept of the U.S. attacking Russian nuclear sites is unthinkable given Russia's ability to retaliate. From everthing I've read, we are mainly concerned about Iraq developing a Hiroshima-type nuclear bomb. I've read that they now have the entire bomb except for the enriched Uranium. So our objective may be to get rid of Saddam before he gets his hands on enriched Uranium. If Iraq had Red Mercury bombs in it's posession, we would have already attacked them.

Furthermore it would be suicidal for Russia to launch a nuclear attack on America. Even it they did succeed in destroying our land-based ICBM's, they couldn't reach our Trident submarines. (That's why we have Trident submarines). And just one (1) Trident submarine could devastate the 10 largest cities in Russia. I don't deny that Russia is distributing some WMD technology, but Tenet is probably referring to ballistic missile and biological weapons technology. As for Mr. Vreeland, how could he possibly obtain copies of top-secret memo's between Iraq and Russia? He's a fraud and so are his bogus memos.

What this article conveniently fails to overlook is the massive arsenal of Blue Mercury weapons the U.S. has had for decades. These weapons are far more potent than Red Mercury devices: a marble-sized Blue Mercury device could blow up Greenland, for example.

In fact, most U.S. "weapons" based on fissionable heavy metals are actually decoys, intended to make our enemies believe we don't have this devastating technology. But we do.

At least, that's what the guy on the corner who yells Bible verses at the top of his lungs all day told me, and his reports have checked out in the past.

So hey, no worries, mates -- unless we lose our marbles...

Many will dismiss the claims of DEBKA

Geez, you post one bogus report about thousands of Chinese troops and they brand you with the mark of Cain.

The document also refers to a top secret Russian stealth satellite termination system (called S.S.S.T.). According to Vreeland, this is a stealth orbital platform armed with clusters of electromagnetic pulse bombs capable of knocking out global communications and frying U.S. nuclear warheads leaving the Western Hemisphere.

If Vreeland's information is reliable, we might have a handle on why the United States is threatening Russia with nuclear strikes. Like a trapped animal the U.S. realizes the mistake it has made. Disarming after our alleged Cold War victory was an error. Now the U.S. must make terrible threats and take drastic action to restore the nuclear balance.

Is the contradiction here not evident? We are holding Russia responsible (hostage) for Iraq's actions by threatening a nuclear attack on Russia, yet, Russia has this secret technology to disarm our nuclear weapons and blind our Global Positioning Satellite to prevent us from atttacking them. Some threat! Try again, Nyquist.

I no nuclear weapons expert, but I did take physics in college and understand the basic nuclear physics behind these devices. The best that I can make out, these are reputed to be pure deuterium/tritium fusion devices, with no fissile core. In order to get the tritium to fuse, you need to create a combination of heat and pressure that can only be achieved with a fission device. I don't care how miraculous this "red mercury" stuff is reputed to be -- and I am quite willing to accept the possibility that is it a much more efficient neutron reflector than the Berylium shell they use in most nuclear devices now -- there is no way that any combination of mercury + antimony + irradiation is going to create a compound that will be able to create the conditions that create a fusion chain reaction. As Bill O'Reilly would say: "I just don't buy it!"

Let this old Viet Nam boy give you some words of true wisdom.

First, since this is war now, be advised that you can be killed at any time of any day. Do not let this reality overly disturb you, because after you are dead you will not be worrying about anything, anyway. So don't worry now.

Second, your own imagination will naturally run away with you, and you will think about stuff you can do nothing about in great excess. Stop doing this, you don't need the grief.

Third, you never really expected to grow old, anyway, did you?
