"Andrew Chaplin" wrote in message ... "Keith Willshaw" wrote in message ... snip As I have said I am an engineer, I like to see credible evidence and you have presented none. When presented with a pint glass with about 10 Imperial fluid ounces in it, an optimist will state that it's half full, and a pessimist will claim that it's half empty. An engineer, however, will point out that the glass is twice the size it needs to be. Willshaw uses the term "engineer" to mean "mechanic". |

Rob OK, arndt, now you have tarver on your side. He's a EE with jet mech experience a long time ago yet claims to be an expert on everything. Geez, Tarver and Arndt working together. I don't want Robert to feel bad about Willshaw's unqualified abuse. Certainly, if a bomb with a 5 year half life, producing a highly radioactive element, could be made, it would have effected the USAF operational plan to repopulate flight lines after ten days. |

No, there would be no way to go forward with operations, without a lot of equipment the USAF did not have, as there was only preperation for the area cooling off in ten days. the USAF operational plan to repopulate flight lines after ten days. Where did you get this, from the same source you got your "optical nuke" from? Same place. What did you do during the Cold War, Kevin? I held an NSA Secret ticket at 17. |

That figures--so you mean you made it up? What did you do during the Cold War, Kevin? Sat around waiting to install my share of the V Corps obstacle effort, which was already pretty tightly mapped out for us. I held an NSA Secret ticket at 17. Uhmmm...what is a "NSA Secret" clearance? I have heard of Confidential, and Secret, and NATO-Secret, and Top Secret with all of its strange subcategories, but never an "NSA Secret". Let's see, we handled everything in the COMSEC account from KY-57's and tape readers to key generation computers and software, and the security requirement generally was either confidential or secret, nothing about an "NSA Secret". Having spent a few years as security manager for battalion and brigade level organizations, could you enlighten me as to what this is? Brooks |

You need to leave the sentences in one piece to be able to follow, Kevin. It is clear that you are none too bright and bifrocating a complete thought is something your mind is probably incapable of doing the registering for. the USAF operational plan to repopulate flight lines after ten days. Where did you get this, from the same source you got your "optical nuke" from? Same place. That figures--so you mean you made it up? I mean I was in ADC in the 1970s and then signatory to ITT's Paramus account on Edwards in the 1980s. What did you do during the Cold War, Kevin? Sat around waiting to install my share of the V Corps obstacle effort, which was already pretty tightly mapped out for us. Grunts did not need to know much. I held an NSA Secret ticket at 17. Uhmmm...what is a "NSA Secret" clearance? Similar to a "DoD Secret" clearance and it's inferior cousin the "DSO Secret" clearance. Each of the agencies uses a different level of effort in their work. I have heard of Confidential, and Secret, and NATO-Secret, and Top Secret with all of its strange subcategories, but never an "NSA Secret". It is hardly surprising that you are ignorant of clearances, Kevin. |
