The Infinite Power of Clinton's Penis



Strikes Again.

This from the NYT (with a h/t to The Huffington Post and with sweet, sweet emphasis added...)

U.S. Web Archive Is Said to Reveal a Nuclear Primer
By WILLIAM J. BROAD

Last March, the federal government set up a Web site to make public a vast archive of Iraqi documents captured during the war. The Bush administration did so under pressure from Congressional Republicans who had said they hoped to “leverage the Internet” to find new evidence of the prewar dangers posed by Saddam Hussein.

But in recent weeks, the site has posted some documents that weapons experts say are a danger themselves: detailed accounts of Iraq’s secret nuclear research before the 1991 Persian Gulf war. The documents, the experts say, constitute a basic guide to building an atom bomb.

Last night, the government shut down the Web site after The New York Times asked about complaints from weapons experts and arms-control officials. A spokesman for the director of national intelligence said access to the site had been suspended “pending a review to ensure its content is appropriate for public viewing.”

Officials of the International Atomic Energy Agency, fearing that the information could help states like Iran develop nuclear arms, had privately protested last week to the American ambassador to the agency, according to European diplomats who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the issue’s sensitivity. One diplomat said the agency’s technical experts “were shocked” at the public disclosures.

Early this morning, a spokesman for Gregory L. Schulte, the American ambassador, denied that anyone from the agency had approached Mr. Schulte about the Web site.

The documents, roughly a dozen in number, contain charts, diagrams, equations and lengthy narratives about bomb building that nuclear experts who have viewed them say go beyond what is available elsewhere on the Internet and in other public forums. For instance, the papers give detailed information on how to build nuclear firing circuits and triggering explosives, as well as the radioactive cores of atom bombs.

“For the U.S. to toss a match into this flammable area is very irresponsible,” said A. Bryan Siebert, a former director of classification at the federal Department of Energy, which runs the nation’s nuclear arms program. “There’s a lot of things about nuclear weapons that are secret and should remain so.”

The government had received earlier warnings about the contents of the Web site. Last spring, after the site began posting old Iraqi documents about chemical weapons, United Nations arms-control officials in New York won the withdrawal of a report that gave information on how to make tabun and sarin, nerve agents that kill by causing respiratory failure.
...


The director of national intelligence, John D. Negroponte, had resisted setting up the Web site, which some intelligence officials felt implicitly raised questions about the competence and judgment of government analysts. But President Bush approved the site’s creation after Congressional Republicans proposed legislation to force the documents’ release.

If Clinton's Penis isn't making Mark Foley troll for children in the halls of Congress, then it's making House Republicans cover up for Foley’s trollings.

Or bribing mistresses to keep quiet about various strangulation attempts until after the election.

Or making that nice Evangelical Ted Haggard fella do rails of meth off the asses of gay hookers. Allegedly.

And now Clinton's Penis is making President Bush and Congressional Republicans post nuclear bomb-making instruction on the Internets!

Well we can at least count our blessings and thank God the our nation's more-volatile and dangerous New-Kew-Lur Sekrits are still safe, but Sweet Enriched Plutonium Jebus!

I mean I always knew Clinton's Penis was a thunder god, but who knew it was actually more powerful than the Eye of fucking Sauron?

You're doing some of your best work of late, and it's amazing how you just keep getting better, and better, and...

One minor (and arguably ridiculous) suggestion, however...

Sweet Enriched Plutonium Jebus

Check that choice of deity, since it's Uranium that needs to be enriched, not Plutonium. Element Pu comes fully-enriched (from North Korean and Pakistani reactors, among other places) as humanity's recent gift to the Periodic Table.

Yeah, yeah, I've clearly spent too much time in the salt mines of the nucular-weapons industry, but it's always good to select optimal deity modifiers, in the name of sweet Jebus!

It all makes sense though DG. If nookular weapons are bad bad things and scary scary things, and the whole thing is reely complicatred and smart peeple are thinking reely reely hard about it, in order to keep things in their current order: them in charge, us wetting the bed with fear on a two year cycle, then the threat of reely reely bad things happening has to expand.

Thus is goes with N Korea, courtesy of Rummy's latest company,and our alloy in the GWOT (george bushes own terror) Pakistan, purveyor of all that is good and right, and nukuler, to such USA friendly places like Iran etc, perhaps the AQ Khan (con?) organizzation didn't have the latest & greatest specs, so they sub'd it out to the DOD, or KBR, or whoever they figured would be smart enough to put that data on a website for the iranians, & whoever else wanted them.

I'd be surprised if they weren't in arabic, or farsi. Value added!
