Howdy there, ScarFace, good ta see ya! I figured youse guys were down at Big
Daddy's cuz the swamp sure was quiet for a Nude Year's Eve! I's comin over
to party with y'all, but first I gotta do sumptin with this latest husban a
mine... bein' a black widow ain't all fun and games, ya know! Never mind,
I'll be along in a bit.

I ain't seen Bad Luck's clones yet, and I sure am lookin' forward to meetin'
both a them. Maybe you could send one a them over to git me, be a lot faster
on his four legs than my eight, plus if ya want me to bring some a that new,
highgrade Widowmaker Whooppee bud, I'll need sum help. Git him over here
quick, too, cuz I wanna find me another husban an I figger the sex flu bomb
will make it real easy fer me!

For how much longer Scar Face?

Preparations for US Strike on Iran in "Final Stages".

Intelligence and military sources in the United States and abroad are reporting
on various factors that indicate a U.S. military hit on Iranian nuclear and
military installations, that may involve tactical nuclear weapons, is in the
final stages of preparation. Likely targets for saturation bombing are the
Bushehr nuclear power plant (where Russian and other foreign national
technicians are present), a uranium mining site in Saghand near the city of
Yazd, the uranium enrichment facility in Natanz, a heavy water plant and
radioisotope facility in Arak, the Ardekan Nuclear Fuel Unit, the Uranium
Conversion Facility and Nuclear Technology Center in Isfahan, the Tehran Nuclear
Research Center, the Tehran Molybdenum, Iodine and Xenon Radioisotope Production
Facility, the Tehran Jabr Ibn Hayan Multipurpose Laboratories, the Kalaye
Electric Company in the Tehran suburbs, a reportedly dismantled uranium
enrichment plant in Lashkar Abad, and the Radioactive Waste Storage Units in
Karaj and Anarak.

Now unfortunately Mr Bliar has something of a credibility problem in parliament
so I doubt he'll be dragging us along on this one. Plus of course, Russia
supplies all the gas for Europe.

Though Russia says it is purely a business dispute, the gas cut-off has fed
concern from Washington to Berlin that the Kremlin is prepared to use its
control over massive energy resources as a political weapon.

Ukraine's Western-leaning president, Viktor Yushchenko, has irked Moscow by
trying to take his ex-Soviet state on Russia's western border into NATO and the
European Union.

That, say Ukrainian officials, is why the Kremlin is punishing Ukraine with such
a huge price increase while letting more Moscow-friendly ex-Soviet states such
as Belarus go on paying far less for Russian gas.

Moscow took over the annual chairmanship of the G8 club of industrialised
nations for the first time from Britain on New Year's Day, and its tenure is
certain to come under intense international scrutiny.

"Russia wants to make energy security its key message to the G8 community, and
simultaneously it is becoming a source of danger," said Valery Nesterov, energy
analyst at Troika Dialog brokerage in Moscow.

And of course, what you Yanks are never told is this.

Almost ignored by the mainstream U.S. media, the strategic nuclear arms race
between the United States and Russia has revived ? with spending and weapons
development at an intensity unseen since the days of the SS-18 and Pershing II
deployments a quarter of a century ago.

On Nov. 17, as reported by United Press International, the U.S. Navy
successfully carried out its most ambitious and successful test yet of an
anti-ballistic missile interceptor launched from an Aegis class cruiser in the
Pacific Ocean. The success of the test contrasted sharply with the enormous
delays, cost over-runs and major test failures that have plagued the land-based
anti-missile technology deployed by the Missile Defense Agency around Fort
Greely, Alaska.

But meanwhile, Russia continues to push ahead with its most massive
intercontinental ballistic missile testing and upgrading program since the
collapse of communism.

Flush with oil export revenues, Russian President Vladimir Putin has been
pouring resources into his Strategic Missile Forces to upgrade the land-mobile
SS-27 Topol-M and submarine-launched Bulova ICBMs and make them maneuverable and
impervious to America's still untried new anti-missile defense systems.

"You would think the Cold War never ended," analyst James Hackett wrote in the
Washington Times Nov. 14.

This week, the Russian Space Troops Force announced that it and the Strategic
Missile Forces had successfully test-launched another Topol missile (designated
by the Russians as RS-12M) from the high security Plesetsk Cosmodrome in
Russia's northern Arkhangelsk Region.

"The missile was launched from an autonomous launch station. The purpose of the
launch is to confirm the flight, technical and operation characteristics of the
mobile ground-based Topol missile complex so that its service life can be
extended to 20 years," Aleksey Kuznetsov, the head of the Space Troops' press
service, told the Interfax news agency. He said that the launch went smoothly
and proceeded as planned.

The test was just the latest in a massive, ambitious and so far generally
successfully series of tests previously reported by UPI.

Hackett noted that the SS-27 Topol is the strategic centerpiece of the rapidly
upgrading Russian strategic nuclear arsenal. "The mobile version, harder to find
and target, will be deployed beginning next year," he wrote. "A
rapid-acceleration, solid-fuel missile, it will be difficult to intercept in the
boost phase and the maneuvering warhead will make it hard to stop thereafter."

British analyst Duncan Lamont wrote in an executive overview to the new edition
of Jane's Strategic Weapons Systems in November that the upgraded Topol-Ms and
Bulavas now being tested are "armed with some sort of hypersonic payload which
would be capable of maneuvering in its midcourse and terminal phase, and thereby
evading the sort of ground-based, midcourse ballistic missile defenses currently
being fielded in Alaska and California."

"A new class of ballistic missiles is emerging, now being called 'quasi- or
semi-' ballistic missiles. These are missiles that can maneuver during the
boost, mid-course, and the terminal phases of flight," Lennox wrote.

Submarine-launched missiles, like the Bulova SRBM "have very depressed
trajectories, possibly as low as 24 miles altitude for a missile with a range of
180 to 240 miles. The trajectory shape is flat, but with the ability to change
direction across track as well as to increase or decrease the range. This will
make it more difficult for any defensive system to forecast the impact point,"
Lennox wrote.

Russia already has 46 Topols deployed in silos but that is only the tip of its
strategic nuclear missile iceberg. Hackett writes that the Kremlin plans to
upgrade all of them with three maneuvering warheads each, and to replace all its
existing, road-mobile SS-25s with road-mobile Topols.

Money will not be a problem. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov announced
last month a $1.8 billion increase in the Strategic Missile Forces budget to pay
for the upgrades.

Hackett notes correctly that the only currently feasible way, even
theoretically, to develop missile defenses against the dramatically upgraded
Bulavas and Topols would be to pre-position space-based anti-ballistic missile
interceptors in orbit. Russian analysts agree with this conclusion.

But of course, it would be much more expensive and technically demanding for the
United States to add a space-based interceptor program to its current, vastly
over-budget and behind schedule ABM programs at a time of unprecedented federal
deficits. When the U.S. Missile Defense Agency has failed in two of its last
three attempts to get even the basic engine of a ground-based ABM interceptor to
ignite for take-off, the sheer engineering challenge of deploying a fleet of
space-based interceptors that could intercept dozens of Topol Ms or Bulavas
appears insurmountable.

Therefore, for all the scores of billions of dollars that have already been
poured into ABM defense, the physics and engineering advantages on the High
Frontier still lie overwhelmingly with the offensive systems. A quarter century
after Ronald Reagan unveiled his "Star Wars" vision of an effective
anti-ballistic missile space defense, the world remains locked in the
straitjacket of Mutually Assured Destruction theory as its only viable deterrent
against nuclear war.

Hey, it won't be just a floating bar you'll be drinking at soon Scar Face. It
will be one that glows in the dark.
