Pakistan's nuclear exports

The Barking Moonbat Early Warning System (love that name!) takes an excellent look at the Pakistani nuclear export program and its origins: bq. Blame Europe In recent weeks, Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan of Pakistan has been exposed and pilloried (and eventually pardoned) for selling nuclear secrets to North Korea, Iran and Libya. The world is up in arms over this giving away of nuclear technology to terrorist-sponsoring countries. bq. Hold the phone. bq. According to the New York Times in today's issue, it seems that the spread of nuclear technology started in Europe. In 1971, when John Kerry was protesting the Vietnam War and accusing his former comrades of atrocities and George Bush was serving in the National Guard, several European nations got together and formed a company called Urenco. This company's sole purpose was to develop nuclear technology and enrich uranium in order to allow Europe to establish nuclear independence from the US. I suspect the French were behind it. They have a long history of "penUS envy". bq. Dr. Kahn worked for Urenco before returning to his home in Pakistan in the 80's. According to the Times, security at Urenco was "slipshod", at best. bq. Now you know. When some terrorist raghead slips a nuke into the US and blows up Cleveland, you can send a thank-you note to Europe. Not the Russians. Not the Pakistanis. Our "friends" in Europe are the ones responsible. To see what a centrifuge looks like, you can visit Uranco's website here. You can rest assured that this is for peaceful power production only. Keep repeating that and stay away from large port cities for the next ten years or so...
