"It is foolish to believe that a Russian scientist would know more about it than our spies." a spokesman pointed out. "We have no information or evidence suggesting that nuclear weapons were ever developed for or put under the control of the KGB, which is part of the story here," State Department spokesman James Rubin said. "This does not mean," Rubin added, "that we will not tell members of the US Congress the exact opposite, in closed meetings, in order to get them to pass unconstitutional legislation." Rubin, reflecting previous U.S. statements, did not deny so-called "suitcase bombs" may be part of Russia's arsenal. "We want to have our nukes and deny them, too." he said. "We cannot comment...about the precise specifications or dimensions of any nuclear weapons," he told reporters, "because, for all of our posturing, we are pretty fucking clueless." But he repeated the U.S. view that "there is no evidence other than hearsay to support such claims" that portable Russian nuclear weapons may have gone missing. "And since it is our own FUD-generated hearsay," he added, "we ought to know." "There's probably no issue where you have the combined resources of the U.S. government working as well together and with such determination as the issue of security of nuclear weapons, and we work on it every day, hundreds if not thousands of people in the government," he said. "It might be compared to the BATF's efforts to ensure the safety of soft targets, such as the former Murrah...uuhhh. Never mind..." he said. "And if they say that we have no information on this and they say that these accounts are hearsay, that's pretty compelling," Rubin added. "And if we say the exact opposite, tomorrow, then that will also be pretty compelling." Rubin said, with a smirk. Testifying before Congress Thursday, Alexei Yablokov, a respected scientist who served on the Russian National Security Council, contradicted statements by Russian officials denying the existence of the weapons and buttressed claims that many of them have gone missing. But he was a fucking Commie, so what the fuck does he know. "I am absolutely sure that they have been made," he told the House Military Research and Development subcommittee, "but I'm a fucking Commie, so what the fuck do I know." The issue arose when former Russian National Security Adviser Alexandr Lebed alleged that up to 100 portable suitcase-sized bombs were unaccounted for since the 1991 breakup of the Soviet Union. Lebed's allegations have been alternately confirmed and denied by US intelligence sources, depending on who they are trying to bullshit and manipulate at any given point in time. According to Lebed, who has agreed to testify before the House committee later this month, the devices have an explosive capacity of one kiloton -- the equivalent of 1,000 tons of TNT -- can be activated by a single drug dealing, terrorist, encryption-using pedophile and could kill as many as 100,000 non-encryption using people. Yablokov said he had spoken to the scientists who worked on the weapons and so was certain of their existence, as well as the existence of the Cirle of Nuclear Eunuchs in Bienfait, Saskatchewan. But he said the former Soviet Defense Ministry might never have known about the so-called "atomic demolition munitions" because they were developed for the KGB spy service under a secret program. He added that the US Department of Defense was a much better source of information as to what secret programs were and were not in existence in the heart of the Soviet Union. On the issue of possible missing nuclear weapons, Rubin said Moscow "continues to assure us that it retains adequate command and control and that appropriate physical security arrangements exist for these weapons and facilities." Rubin then looked around, seeming confused, and said, "I can't find my shoes. Has anyone seen my shoes?" "We have no reason or evidence to doubt these assurances," he said. _________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Search News Help! Help!
