Tehran Peace Museum said that the team composed of physicians from Sweden, Turkey, Norway and Denmark will pay a visit to Tehran at an invitation from Tehran Peace Museum and the Society for Supporters of Chemical Weapons Victims.

The team will meet the war disabled physicians and Foreign Ministry officials.

The team will also meet university scholars on issues such as how to root out weapons of mass destruction and responsibility of the medical communities in this regard.

NOAA & Rutgers Univ. have studied a nuke war between Pakistan & India & the results are horrific.

Nuclear winter for a long time & 70% of the ozone layer destroyed.

Walking about in the sun would be like being stuffed in a microwave, optic nerves & flesh burning away under UV (yes I know microwaves do not use UV or short wavelengths). Plankton near the ocean surface DEAD!

The failure of the oceans food chain, mass extinction & starvation & being cooked alive.

The bottom line is nukes are useless & I would rather be killed in a first strike than survive one & die a horrific death, along with every living creature on earth.

There are hundreds of papers based on the info they gleaned in this study, soy & rice production slashed, cold weather for a decade, radiation burn from the sun. The bottom line is there are few horror movies that are as horrible as what we could face as a species any fucking day.

ok the links is too long but for enuff info to need cigarettes & tranqs to get thru just google "noaa pakistan nuclear winter ozone war india"

In a related story of stupidity, the DOD is trying to spend $10,000,000,000-$20,000,000,000 to update 200 B-61 nuclear bombs.
Here is a real joke:


In May 2010 the National Nuclear Security Administration asked Congress for $40 million to redesign the bomb to enable the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II to carry the weapon internally by 2017.[11] This version is designated Mod.12.[12] The four hundred B61-12 bombs will be used by both tactical aircraft (such as the F-35) and strategic aircraft (such as the B-2) and the Tail Subassembly (TSA) will give them Joint Direct Attack Munition levels of accuracy, allowing the fifty kiloton warhead to have strategic effects from all carrying aircraft.[13] However refitting the 400 weapons is now expected to cost over $10 billion.........


from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B61_nuclear_bomb#Design
(i do not think the F-35 will be ready by 2017)
The best part is the F-35 is a piece of crap & behind schedule & 2x more expensive than Lockheed projected.
At least Canada may decide to not be ripped off by the swindle of the century: http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2011/03/10/pol-pbo-page-fighterjet.html

http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/2012-2013/2012/09/runaway-fighter.html CBC investigation of F-35 lies & F-35 is no better than a F16, EF2000 or anything that is currently in service. A 60's vintige F4 Phantom may be a better combat aircraft than this POS.

I called 2 Senators (PA) & Rep Gerlach & I had a good time explaining the consequences of a nuke war, death for you, your children & practically all life on earth & staff folk were sounding very uneasy & nervous. It was not in a threatening tone just facts & consequences & a picture of the future that is no brighter than death for them & their children. I stayed on the PH long enuff for the staff people to find the doomsday info and then ask then to please explain to me why spending any money on nukes is a good idea.

At any rate nukes are useless & an expensive waste of money, I expect some answers in a few days.

In conclusion spending on nukes should be stopped, all of it & I mean now.
The F-35 is worthless, if we must have new Fighters due to age of the current crop, build new F-16, FA-18 & Harriers. They are cheap compared to the F35, just as good if not better & we know exactly how much they cost to operate.

Lockheed builds the F16, Boeing builds the FA18 & the harrier used by USMC.

The MIC better get ready for a lot less money, any DEM that takes money from them is dead to me & needs primaryed in 2014.

Seriously the CBC documentary makes 60 minutes look like Sunday school & has hard questions & hard follow ups & F-35 stooges running away.
