The Iran problem imperils international cooperation on other issues and it's getting uglier almost by the minute … U.S. Threatens India Nuclear Deal By MATTHEW ROSENBERG Associated Press Wed Jan 25, 11:50 AM ET A landmark nuclear deal between India and the United States will "die" in Washington if New Delhi supports Iran at the upcoming meeting of the U.N. atomic watchdog agency, the U.S. ambassador said Wednesday. A week before the International Atomic Energy Agency meets to discuss Iran's nuclear program, U.S. Ambassador David Mulford said that if India does not vote to refer Tehran to the U.N. Security Council, it would be "devastating" to the deal currently before the U.S. Congress. "I think the Congress will simply stop considering the matter," Mulford told the Press Trust of India news agency. The deal, seen as a cornerstone of the emerging alliance between India and the United States, "will die in the Congress," he said. The U.S. Embassy confirmed that Mulford was accurately quoted, and spokesman David Kennedy said: "The Ambassador just wanted to give his honest opinion on how he thought the U.S. congress would react to such a scenario." Mulford's frank comments were the first time a senior U.S. official has made a direct link between India's stance on the Iran issue and the nuclear deal. After Mulford's comments, India reiterated that the two issues should remain separate. "We categorically reject any attempt to link (Iran) to the proposed Indo-U.S. agreement on civil nuclear energy cooperation, which stands on its own merits," Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Navtej Sarna said in a statement. "The position that India will take on this issue at the IAEA will be based on India's own independent judgment." Under the deal, Washington is to share civilian nuclear technology and supply nuclear fuel to India in return for New Delhi separating its civilian and military nuclear programs and allowing international inspections of its atomic facilities. The separation is necessary because the United States has only agreed to recognize India as having a civilian nuclear program — not as a legitimate nuclear weapons state. The deal was signed in July when Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh visited Washington, and marked a major policy shift for the United States, which imposed sanctions on India in 1998 after it conducted nuclear tests. The restrictions have been lifted. IAEA referral of Iran to the Security Council could lead to economic and political sanctions against Tehran, which the United States and European powers fear could use its nuclear program to develop weapons. Tehran insists its program is for generating electricity. European countries believe they have enough votes at the IAEA, which will hold an emergency board session on Feb. 2, to haul Iran before the Security Council. But they are seeking support from Russia, China and key developing nations, such as India. New Delhi voted in September with the U.S. and European powers on an earlier IAEA resolution that could have led to Iran's referral to the council. But the Indian government faced fierce domestic criticism over the move from its left-wing political allies, who accused it of selling out a longtime ally to curry favor with Washington. New Delhi has, in recent weeks, appeared hesitant to repeat the vote, instead urging negotiations with Tehran. India, which has few domestic sources of fuel, also plans to build a 1,750-mile gas pipeline from Iran through Pakistan, a project that has raised concerns in Washington. "We have made it known to (India) that we would very much like India's support because India has arrived on the world stage and is a very important player in the world," Mulford said.

Roll back the taxes and break out yer Bibles, eh? You betcha … Canada wakes up to new Conservative government Tue Jan 24, 2006 9:00 AM ET By Janet Guttsman and David Ljunggren OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadians elected its first Conservative government in 12 years, but gave it only limited minority mandate to change policies and priorities. Newspapers on Tuesday highlighted the government's likely fragility, and one described it as party leader Stephen Harper's "Thin Blue Line." Blue is the color representing the Conservatives in Canada, while the Liberals are red. "Canadians did not endorse neoconservatism when they elected him last night," the Globe and Mail newspaper said in an editorial. "They voted against a Liberal Party that had become smug and arrogant." Callers to radio talk shows said it was time for change but they agreed were not willing to revamp the entire Canadian political landscape by handing the Conservatives a majority in Parliament. The Conservatives won 124 seats, below the 155 needed to form a majority. The ruling Liberals won 103 seats while the left-leaning New Democratic Party won 29 seats. The Bloc Quebecois, which campaigns only in the French-speaking province of Quebec, won 51 seats. "Each and every day, I will assure you of one thing -- I will dedicate myself to making Canada more united, stronger, more prosperous and a safer country," Harper told an ecstatic crowd in the Western Canadian city of Calgary after his win. The result was a huge triumph for Harper, a 46-year-old economist who created the Conservatives in late 2003 by pushing through the merger of two squabbling right-wing parties. He will be the first prime minister from the oil-rich Western province of Alberta for 25 years. Opinion polls had pointed to a Conservative minority. But the number of Conservative seats was somewhat below forecasts, indicating an unstable government unlikely to last for long. Minority governments in Canada rarely last longer than 18 months. The outgoing minority Liberal government stayed in power for 17 months before it was defeated in November 2005 over a kickback scandal. Unlike the Liberals, who governed with the help of the New Democrats, the Conservatives have no natural allies in a four-party Canadian Parliament and will need the support of political rivals on an issue-by-issue basis. Harper has pledged to work with other parties to push through his agenda, which includes a cut in consumption taxes and a balanced budget. The defeat was a humiliating blow for outgoing Prime Minister Paul Martin, who inherited a large majority when he took over in December 2003, only to see support fade amid scandals. He has said he will not lead the Liberals into the next election. The Liberals, long viewed as Canada's natural governing party, slumped in the polls after police said in late December they were investigating whether the finance minister's office had leaked information about proposed tax changes. "Canadians voted for hope over fear and accountability over corruption," senior Conservative Jason Kenney said. The Conservatives won 36.3 percent of the popular vote and the Liberals won 30.2 percent, their second-worst showing since Canada gained independence in 1867. Harper also vows to clamp down on crime, cut waiting times for health care and improve strained relations with the United States, with whom Canada has a number of trade disputes. He says he will allow a free vote in Parliament about whether Canada should repeal laws that allow gay marriage. There will be one independent, a Quebec talk show host who made a career out of lambasting politicians and railing against what he calls the Ottawa establishment.

Look at the date! It was discussing events from the 80's and very early 90's. Time and progress have marched forward. Here's another credible source which states Shavit, i.e., Jericho 3, with a range of ~3,000 miles, MIRV and radar terminal guidance was scheduled to be fielded last year. Other sources confirm the information: http://www.missilethreat.com/missiles/jericho-3_israel.html. You should read the Seymour Hersh book, "The Samson Option." Although it was written circa 1990, many of the unacknowledged claims at the time regarding Israel's nuclear weapons development activities, aerospace cooperation with South Africa to perfect genuine ICBMs (vice IRBMs) and, yes, targeting of Russia have since been validated and confirmed. Israel is a tiny country. Russia could destroy it with only a few of Russia's gargantuan warheads. Russia could also destroy Israel by proxy through Iran. Either way, Israeli policy is to strike Russia - even before any nuclear weapons explode on Israel - if it believes that its destruction is imminent. Begin reading Hersh and, afterwards, I'll be happy to steer you to credible public sources which should convince you that nothing I have said is mere fantasy. Yo! Blutarsky 2008. No Prisoners!

Old public source info: “… scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory reportedly calculated that the Shavit "could transport a nuclear warhead a minimum of 5,300 km" if deployed as a ballistic missile, and analysts at the Defense Department estimated a range of 7,200 km for the missile, with an unspecified payload capacity. In July 1990, Steve Fetter, a physicist at the University of Maryland, calculated the payload and range parameters of the Shavit, based on data about the two Offeq launches provided in the press. He found that if the Shavit were deployed as a ballistic missile it could deliver a 775-kg payload a distance of 4,000 km, putting the whole of the Middle East (and a large part of the former Soviet Union) within striking distance …” Source: http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/israel/jericho-2.htm Israeli aerospace technology has only continued to improve since then -- witness Arrow. So many informed people are convinced the Israelis do have long-ranging missiles today that are quite capable of reaching Moscow. Although Israel does not acknowledge such missile parameters explicitly, neither does Israel acknowledge possessing nuclear weapons. And the reasons suggested in your post tell us why that probably is a good idea on the part of Israel. Blutarsky 2008. No Prisoners!

By most accounts Russia possesses a small number of superb radars and radar-guided antiaircraft missiles which could track and conceivably intercept a nonstealthy nuclear missile warhead or a nonstealthy nuclear-capable aircraft penetrating Russian airspace. Mathius Rust has demonstrated there certainly is no guarantee, however. Unfortunately for Russia, its limited national budget has meant that Russia is not able to maintain an adequate supply of active missile-detecting satellites in orbit, the few that are up there are not in good shape. The first notification that Russia would have of a nuclear attack from the direction of Israel would, in the best-case scenario, arrive in the form of radar returns from a Jericho missile warhead or an Israeli aircraft. No doubt Russia could detect most if not all of the airplanes in the Israeli inventory. However, based on my review of the information, the Israelis have equipped some of their missiles with stealthy warheads and decoys which would likely result in their penetrating Russian airspace before they could be intercepted. In addition, the Russian air and nuclear forces readiness state and day-to-day ability to destroy ground targets over contested foreign soil is highly dubious given their lack of practice – they seldom train because of the terrible funding environment in Russia and their systems are not kept well-maintained for the same reason. So while none of us really knows what will actually happen if Iran is permitted to place nuclear warheads on missiles and it uses them against Israel, I personally would not sleep well at night were I one of the Russian national command authorities, even if my bunker was as deep as Dick Cheney’s, because I would have to allow that some Israeli missiles probably would get through my defense network and I already know they are targeting my important cities.

You do realize, Yuri, that several of Israel’s nuclear systems are targeted on Russian cities including Moscow. According to numerous published reports, Israeli doctrine in the case of an imminent destruction scenario is to launch nuclear strikes against Russian cities and bring ruin down upon the anti-semites which have supported those who would destroy Israel. Something you may wish to consider. Blutarsky 2008. No Prisoners!

Seems the regional “games” have begun! Pipeline Explosions in Southern Russia Called Sabotage VOA By Bill Gasperini Moscow 22 January 2006 Georgian protests near the headquarters of Russian troops in Transcaucasia, demanding the restoration of gas supplies, in Tbilisi Russian investigators say that sabotage is the likely cause of two explosions at the main natural-gas supply pipeline that goes to neighboring Georgia and Armenia. The flow of gas has been interrupted in the middle of severe cold weather throughout the region. The explosions occurred on the two branches of the pipeline that carries natural gas from Russia through the Caucasus Mountains to Georgia and then to Armenia. Officials say they suspect sabotage because there is evidence of some kind of explosive devices at each site. Alexander Panov is with the prosecutors office in North Ossetia, the region where the pipelines are located. The material that caused the explosions has not been clearly identified, and the teams are continuing their work, he says. Russian television showed footage of twisted, blackened pipes on a steep hillside. Teams of experts are now working to repair the damage, and officials say it might be three to four days before service is restored. Hours after the blasts, a third explosion knocked out a power line carrying electricity to Georgia. The incidents come in the midst of severe cold which has brought record low temperatures throughout the region. There are already reports of gas and electricity shortages in Georgia and Armenia, which depend on Russia for much of their energy. Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili appeared on television and accused Russia of being behind, what he called, these serious acts of sabotage. He said some Russian politicians have threatened to leave Georgians without light and gas, amid disagreements over Russia's recent decision to double the price both countries must pay for gas. His comments also reflect tensions between the countries since Georgia's Rose Revolution brought the Western-leaning Mr. Saakashvili to power two-years ago. Georgian officials say they are trying to replace Russian supplies with gas from neighboring Azerbaijan and Iran, although it is unlikely this can be done quickly. Armenia's main energy company says it is dipping into gas reserves and that power will be cut to non-essential businesses. Similar power cuts took place in Russia last week after the Siberian cold front moved in and created soaring demand for gas and power.

Any of you have problems with these? The Senator was just recalled home to fix a kitchen faucet. I discovered that a plastic o-ring/spacer in the valve assembly had broken into quarters and lodged by the pin, blocking flow. It’s a Talia model, three years old and under lifetime warranty protection. Unfortunately the affected part of the valve is factory sealed and so I can’t repair it although I temporarily restored flow by removing the pin. Have you experienced something like this with Grohe, if so what was your impression of Grohe’s customer service – they’re closed today and it would be nice to anticipate events. Cheers.
