yes indeed……

Curiouser and curiouser. The JP reports that the September 6 raid was carried out by U.S. aircraft – not the Israelis, as has been preivously reported. Oh, and we used tactical nukes.The September 6 raid over Syria was carried out…

I can’t believe this story made it past an editor.

The September 6 raid over Syria was carried out by the US Air Force, the Al-Jazeera Web site reported Friday. The Web site quoted Israeli and Arab sources as saying that two US jets armed with…

What ever it was, biological, chemical, nuclear, the Syrians buried it. Like Chernobyl, they didn’t try to repair, rebuild, they just buried it.

Cr@p…I hate it when I misremember stuff I really do know…

The question remains however, why have Syria and Iran been completely silent ever since this attack?

Embarrassment maybe? Remember Osama’s Strong Horse theory.

While neutron radiation is extremely lethal because (ionizing radiation) of the high electron charge of the neutron it’s low mass means it pretty much passes right through nearly everything. In other words practically no residual radioactive signature.

Uhhh sorry neutrons don’t have any charge…they’re uh…neutral. They also don’t pass pretty much through everything. Everything has what’s termed a neutron cross section, that’s the probability of any given neutron colliding with the nucleus of that material. Some things have high cross sections some low. Humans, being mostly water have a high cross sections, especially with thermal neutrons.Residual radiation? Materials get activated by neutron radiation, that’s how neutrons are attenuated, by bouncing off the nuclei of other ‘stuff’. This causes a rather high increase in background due to the interaction of neutrons with other materials such as iron and cobalt. In a few days or weeks or whatever after a neutron zapping when the activated materials have had a chance to decay it’d probably be safe to enter but my guess is that right after the thing went off the area would be pretty Hot.

Sorry my inner geek got out for a moment…he’s back in the cage now….I think I spelled most of that stuff right..maybe next time I’ll talk about start up rate or rod control…ya just never know.

heh.. I’d forgotten that. Thanks for the memories!

Wasn’t it an AOL commercial on the difference between geeks and nerds?

“A geek gets it done, a nerd doesn’t”

those werent geeks, they were Nerds…(quickly removes tape from glasses)…

Of course its just toys

Well. Now I know what to pick up for Christmas for those on my list who are into radio controlled planes.

Geek speak? Geek’s are into nuclear physics? I thought geeks were into computer stuff, an pron and silly role playing fantasy games an sci-fi convention an speaking Vulcan or Klingonese…… :o

Of course its just toys, every body knows that we dont really have any of those aircraft. Bushitler/Darth Cheney/Haliburton secretly stashed all the money that was supposed to spent on them in their Swiss bank accounts.

We have just learned a giant Star of David dropped from the sky to crush the men, women and children on the ground at the time of the attack. Red, white, and blue smoke streams were spotted coming out of the backs of the US planes, but we have learned from a “reliable source” that the streams are instead coming out of the filthy Western butts of the pilots themselves.

(Hey, you know they’d say this if given the chance.)

Personally, I don’t buy it for a second.

I love ‘geek speak’ ROFLMAO

Regarding AllahPundit’s post about rumors that the US, not Israel, destroyed the Syrian N-facility….

Aliens crashed in Roswell!

Global warming is caused by man!

In other news, 9/11 was an inside job!

Suck it up, sissies. You’ll know when we hit you as hard as we can.

Professor Blather on November 2, 2007 at 1:48 PM

Hah hah hah, no actually they wont, if and when we should find it necessary to hit them as hard as we can, they wont ever know anything again. Right now we are actually subscribing to Edward Nigma’s philosophy

“Don’t kill him! If you kill him, he won’t learn nothin’!”

But you can bet that isnt going to last forever.

I take it as a compliment. Like barely tapping somebody in a fight … then having them call you a bully for punching so hard.

Suck it up, sissies. You’ll know when we hit you as hard as we can.

Yup, and it wouldn’t matter what kind or size of device was used, the EM pulse would have left a very tell-tale signature. The EM pulse would have at the minimum disrupted for several minutes any satellite overhead along with sending out a burst of white noise over the entire Ham and shortwave radio frequencies worldwide. Plus with so much of the Ham and shortwave going digital the effect of that white noise would be very pronounced.
