Tactical Nukes

AKA Bunker busters. Small scale 2-10 Kiloton bombs designed to penetrate deeply into rocky terrain/reinforced concrete (5-30 feet) and then blast out deeply entrenched troops or to devistate other tactical targets. They talk a lot about using them in the Al Queda tunnels in Afghan. Only problem is they will not pentrate far enough and make a fucking mess as they blast a shit load of radioactive dirt into the atmosphere. They have been toying with these for a while in several different past conflicts and potential conflicts. Fuckers see these things as a natural extension of their penal colonies. I hate Bush. He can suck Deez Nutz-a-Cleeze.

Speaking of war mongers, I have started reading a book called 'Body of Secrets'. It is a book about the anatomy/history of the NSA. So far it is really cool and the info has been both frightening and Fascinating. It covers some of the politcal events that went on outside of the agency and how it interacted with them. So far I am only a 125 pages in, but I like it so far. All the info is presented in a fairly narrative format but it was all collected through investigative journalism and the freedom of information act. James Bamford seems to have done his homework. Elric it seems up your alley. A little crypto, a little espionage, a little bit o' politics, a good bit of war mongerism. SOme of the Cuban Missle Crisis info surprised me. Something (Other than minitures and terraineous maximus) to get you away from the CRTs after work.

I Like Mike Hunt when he injests Bangers.
