Did you notice, according to the RSOE EDIS Emergency map, there were 3 nucular events yesterday 5/5/2009? The funny part about it was the latitudes of all 3 events. USA N34 degrees, Hungary N46 degrees, and China N34 degrees.





but here's something that really needs watching

With the Pakistani army is slugging it out with Taliban gunmen just 60 miles from Islamabad, the security of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal is becoming an even more serious concern for the U.S. military.

Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, recently returned from a visit to the region. And while he expressed confidence that Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal was secure, he made clear his main worry: Pakistan’s nukes falling into the wrong hands.

“We all recognize, obviously, the worst downside with respect to Pakistan is that those nuclear weapons come under the control of terrorists,” Mullen told reporters, adding: “I don’t think that’s going to happen.”

So, is it time to worry about the worst-case scenario? For starters, it’s worth remembering that the United States has been keeping a watchful eye on the Pakistani nuclear arsenal for a while now, and the United States has provided money and equipment to improve Pakistan’s nuclear security. As the New York Times first revealed in 2007, the Bush administration committed over $100 million to help secure Pakistan’s nuclear materials; that assistance included night vision equipment, helicopters and detection gear.

4. If Pakistan falls, no doubt the US will try to recover its arsenal.
God help us all if we miss one or two.
