poor SOUND!! Arab League chief Amr Moussa said here Tuesday that Iran's nuclear program is completely peaceful and by no means does it pose any threat.

Profile of a General - Pakistan
April 2000 In this exclusive profile of General Musharraf, the military leader who took control of Pakistan in a bloodless coup in 1999, there is damning evidence of Pakistani support for the Islamic Terrorist group Mujahadeen led by the world's most wanted criminal - Osama Bin Laden. His view is clear: "there's a total genocide going on in Kashmir! They are killing the civilians! .. the people of Kashmir have risen against the Indians. They don't want the Indians there." And the next war could be nuclear. Major towns in Pakistan display Replica nuclear missiles standing like monuments. From Islamabad's Faisal mosque, we uncover the fundraising stalls of Islamic groups waging a guerrilla war against India in Kashmir.

US Airforce Training Video-Nuclear Weapons Broken Arrows 1/2
The Strategic Air Command (SAC) was the operational establishment of the United States Air Force in charge of America's bomber-based and ballistic missile-based strategic nuclear arsenal from 1946 to 1992. SAC also controlled the infrastructure necessary to support their operations (such as tanker aircraft to fuel the bombers and, until 1959, fighter escorts). On October 19, 1948 Lt. General Curtis Emerson LeMay took over as commander of SAC, and set about a dramatic rebuilding of the command's forces, as well as their mission. LeMay, who had masterminded the American attacks on the Japanese mainland during the war (including the firebombing of Tokyo and other cities), was a staunch believer in the power of strategic bombing: the destruction of an enemy's cities and industrial centers....

Lance Missile
*** THIS FILM WAS MADE MY THE US GOVERMENT AND IS PUBLIC DOMAIN *** The LANCE was a mobile field artillery tactical missile system used to provide both nuclear and non-nuclear general fire support to the Army Corps.
