It's not about penises--It's Bunker-Busting Bomb Testing Time

This really scary, extremely bigoted plan of the chimp has really got me focused. Have you heard of this in the liberal media? I surely haven't.

Denounce War Plans Against Iran & Order Halt to Bunker Buster-Type Simulation June 2nd in Nevada

In a recent issue of the New Yorker magazine, investigative journalist Seymour Hersh reported teams of American combat troops are being sent into Iran under cover to collect information on military targets, such as underground storage bunkers. The decision to attack may already have been made.

Meanwhile, the Department of Energy is preparing for a 700-ton conventional bomb detonation ("Divine Strake") on June 2, 2006, on the Western Shoshone Native American reservation (which the tribe strongly opposes) in Nevada, as a preliminary for the use of actual nuclear weapons against Iran. If launched, a nuclear "bunker buster" would spew harmful radiation, potentially killing thousands of innocent people.

The Bush administration seems bent on destabilizing the globe. It behooves every member of Congress to take a strong stand against a pre-emptive strike on Iran. Bullying Iran, talking about "regime change", and simulating large-scale explosions in the Nevada desert will only undermine diplomatic efforts. Read Marcy Winograd's full statement on this.

1. Side note

normally the Dept of Energy does nuc testing, and the Air Force does the really big bombs testing...

Why is the Dept of Energy doing this.... IMHO this is a nuc test..

[PublicWrath]

2. I didn't know that. Now I'm really worried. n/t

[texastoast]

3. As we all must be

:scared:

[PublicWrath]

4. Did you know that part about the Dept of Energy's role in weapons

testing usually involving nukes, rather than conventional explosives? I think we need to spread that around. We need to stop this.

[texastoast]

5. No, I didn't

We need to verify that as best we can. The rumor mill is that shit-for-brains is planning to use nukes on Iran, so this kind of fits.

[PublicWrath]

7. Yes, I'd like to know more about this aspect. DU has several people

who know a lot about nukes who might be able to give a detailed historical perspective on this issue, but I don't have a search function to track them.

8. Western Shoshone winning converts

http://www.nativetimes.com/index.asp?action=displayarticle&article_id=7783

The Western Shoshone tribe, which claims millions of acres in land spanning portions of four states, has already sued to prevent “Divine Strake,” a massive non-nuclear blast that the tribe worries could kick up radioactive matter still remaining in the region following a series of nuclear tests conducted over a forty-year period.

The tribe’s lawsuit, filed in federal court, names as defendants officials with the Defense Department, National Nuclear Security Administration and Defense Threat Reduction Agency.
