FEDERALIST PERSPECTIVE
Exposing the web of nuclear WMD Part Two:
The Khan con...
(This is the second of a two-part commentary on how the CIA
scooped the nuclear WMD black-market.)
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the
result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the
enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If
you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in
every battle." --Sun Tzu (6th century B.C. Chinese general) in
"The Art of War"
The United States is at war. Since 1993, the year of the first
Islamist attack on the World Trade Center, our homeland has been
a frontline in the war with Jihadistan, a borderless alliance of
Islamist groups with global reach, who are relentlessly targeting
the U.S. as surrogates for Islamic nation states. While orthodox
Muslims (those conforming to the teachings of the "pre-Medina"
Quran) do not support acts of terrorism or mass murder, very
large sects within the Islamic world are indoctrinated with the
"post-Mecca" Quran and Hadith (Mohammed's teachings). These are
the writings that call for "Jihad" or "Holy War" against all "the
enemies of God." Hence, "Jihadistan," or "nation of holy war."
In the war to deter Jihadistan terror, there are two
recurrent themes in President George W. Bush's leadership as
Commander-in-Chief (his primary Constitutional role). First, he
has emphasized that we must know our enemy and endeavor to keep
the warfront on their turf. Second, President Bush has rightly
insisted that we must know ourselves -- that we must not lose
our resolve to conduct this war in defense of our nation and our
national interests.
On the first count, we have, thus far, succeeded. While Leftist
politicos and their Leftmedia minions are loath to give credit
where credit is due, it is nothing short of remarkable that, since
9/11, our Armed Forces, and the multitude of agencies supporting
them, have prevented any further catastrophic attacks on U.S. soil.
On the second count, however, our nation's resolve is at great risk
of being undermined by President Bush's political opponent, Leftist
agitator John Kerry, who should think twice about starting every
stump-speech by questioning our presence in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Doing so only serves to endanger our forces in those regions --
and the security of our homeland -- by undermining U.S. resolve.
Like his mentor Ted Kennedy, Kerry has suggested that the rationale
for Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom was
cooked up by the administration and the CIA -- that there are
no WMD and, consequently, no looming threats against the United
States. But Kerry and Kennedy et al. are wrong -- dead wrong --
and their use of our military campaign against Jihadistan as
political campaign fodder is not only unconscionable -- it is,
potentially, calamitous.
In his 2002 State of the Union speech, George Bush exercised little
ambiguity in putting the "Axis of Evil" on notice: "North Korea
is a regime arming with...weapons of mass destruction.... Iran
aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror.... Iraq
continues to flaunt its hostility toward America and to support
terror. The Iraqi regime has plotted to...develop nuclear
weapons for over a decade. ... States like these, and their
terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten
the peace of the world. By seeking weapons of mass destruction,
these regimes pose a grave and growing danger. ...[T]he price of
indifference would be catastrophic."
Notably, President Bush added, "We will work closely with
our coalition to deny terrorists and their state sponsors the
materials, technology, and expertise to make and deliver weapons
of mass destruction." Now fast-forward two years to the nuclear
WMD web linking Pakistan, Libya, Iran, Iraq and North Korea, a
network of terror that has been incrementally exposed in the last
60 days. How is it that revelations about the status of nuclear
WMD development programs in these nations has suddenly surfaced?
Subsequent analysis by The Federalist's leads us to conclude that
the CIA (much-maligned by Kerry and Kennedy, who suggest the agency
failed to provide accurate estimates of Iraq's undiscovered WMD)
succeeded in a high-stakes "takeover" of the nuclear black market
prior to 2002. It's an operation that is largely responsible
for exposing the aforementioned Islamic web of nuclear WMD
development -- and a success that will likely remain unheralded
beyond this column.
As we noted last week, the most recent WMD revelation was the
International Atomic Energy Agency's "discovery" of advanced
uranium-enrichment equipment (gaseous centrifuge technology)
at an air force base outside Tehran. That equipment was found
to have traces of uranium refined to 90% of isotope 235, which
has applications only in limited space reactors such as those
in nuclear submarines -- and nuclear bombs. (We're quite certain
Iran is not preparing to launch a nuclear submarine.)
Did Iran construct this particular component of advanced nuclear
refinement technology? It's doubtful. While Iran has its
own successful nuclear WMD program, the source of the recently
discovered equipment was very likely North Korea, by way of Iraq.
Two years ago in Federalist No. 02-42, we reported that the
enriched uranium at the core of North Korea's nuclear WMD program
was the product of gas centrifuge technology. Our sources tell
us there is substantial evidence that North Korea transferred
that technology to Iraq in the last decade.
Iraq, after all, had plenty of time, compliments of the French
and French-fortified hand-wringers in the UN, to spirit the bulk
of its biological and nuclear WMD into Iran and Syria prior to
the coalition invasion last March. (You'll recall that when the
coalition's Desert Storm invasion of Iraq was imminent in 1991,
Saddam transferred his frontline squadrons of fighters to Iran.)
Of course, some still have their head in the sand, insisting
that Iraq had no active nuclear WMD programs in recent years.
(Ironically, that is precisely where some elements of his WMD
programs likely remain concealed -- in the sand.) For example, as
we noted in Federalist No. 03-28, the CIA recovered gas-centrifuge
components from Iraqi nuclear scientist Mahdi Shukur Obeidi, who
had buried the hardware in his back yard prior to the coalition's
invasion of Iraq last year.
Who, then, is the common denominator of these various nuclear WMD
programs, and what does he have to do with the CIA? He is Abdul
Qadeer Khan who was, until his role in trading nuclear technology
was recently exposed, Pakistan's top nuclear scientist, and the
father of the "Islamic bomb." Khan collected most of his nuclear
know-how from Western Europe and China over the last 20 years.
It is the considered opinion of our analysts that all these recent
WMD revelations are the direct result of a covert operation to
cultivate operatives in the nuclear black marketplace, particularly
Khan, and ultimately control a substantial part of that market
in an effort to track sellers and buyers.
While it is not yet clear what the exact nature of the relationship
between Khan and the CIA was, suffice it to say that our analysts
believe he was either working for the CIA in the latter years of
his proliferation endeavors -- or his actions as the nuclear WMD
black-market kingpin were transparent to the CIA -- for at least
the past four years, and possibly for the last decade.
Contrary to President Bush's assertion that the U.S. would "work
closely with our coalition to deny terrorists and their state
sponsors the materials, technology, and expertise to make and
deliver weapons of mass destruction," we believe the CIA either
conned Khan, or used him as the con in a covert operation to
provide "materials, technology, and expertise" in an effort to
determine which state-sponsors of terrorism were buying nuclear
WMD components, and the current stage of their nuclear WMD
program development.
It's an old ruse: If you want to know who the distributors and
customers are, and how far they have advanced their programs
and networks, set up your own shop, undercut the competition,
and they'll line up at your door. We believe that is precisely
what the CIA did, using Khan wittingly or unwittingly, in setting
up one of the most brilliant -- and high-stakes -- con games ever.
Khan apparently operated with the full knowledge of Pakistani
President (and former general) Pervez Musharraf, who granted Khan
a full pardon after his activities were exposed last month. Khan
outsourced a significant amount of production work to Malaysia,
centering on one B.S.A. Tahir, a prominent businessman with
Malaysia's Scomi Precision Engineering. Last month, speaking at
the National Defense University, President Bush identified Tahir as
the "chief financial officer and money launderer" of A.Q. Khan's
black market ring. Indeed, it was Scomi precision-manufactured
centrifuge parts that were seized in the Mediterranean aboard
the BCC China late last year, en route to Libya.
Regarding North Korea's role, NSA Condoleezza Rice notes that
details of Khan's con were having a profound impact upon the United
States' ability to confront and negotiate with Pyongyang. "Now the
North Koreans should also recognize that, with the unraveling of
these proliferation networks, the A.Q. Khan network, what the
Libyans are now freely admitting and talking about, that their
admissions and what they say is not the only source of information
about what's going on in North Korea," said Dr. Rice. "And it's
probably a good time for the North Koreans to come clean."
Like any good sting operation, when it was determined by the
CIA that all the information that could be gleaned from the Khan
con had been collected -- prior to the transfer of any nuclear
weapons to terrorist surrogates -- the CIA, through international
channels, exposed the operation and put all Khan's clients on
immediate notice that the extent of their nuclear WMD programs
is a matter of record with the CIA.
Of course, all Khan's Islamic customers know that in the heart
of the Middle East right now, within easy striking distance of
any of them, is a substantial U.S. and coalition military force.
In light of this fact, what can we make of Libya's sudden surrender
of all its nuclear components a few weeks ago?
Mere coincidence? We think not.
George W. Bush has proven himself an outstanding
Commander-in-Chief, and the CIA, should it ever acknowledge this
operation, will certainly redeem itself in regard to its successful
endeavor to track nuclear WMD. That notwithstanding, perhaps the
greatest immediate threat to U.S. national security and sovereignty
is not al-Qa'ida and company; rather, it is those among us whose
phony political rhetoric is weakening our national resolve.
Quote of the week...
"Terrorists will kill innocent life in order to try to get the
world to cower. That's what they want to do. And they'll never
shake the will of the United States." --George W. Bush
On the Warfront with Jihadistan....
Today marks the one-year anniversary of the onset of our taking
the war with Jihadistan onto the Iraqi battlefields. (For as
snapshot of what has changed in the last year, visit Iraq: Now
vs. Then at [
http://federalist.com/news/iraq.asp ]) The date
has not gone unmarked, as Jihadis have taken the war to Europe.
The coordinated bombings of Madrid trains late last Thursday,
now almost certainly plotted al-Qa'ida-linked Islamists, with or
without the help of Basque separatists, clearly had the desired
effect -- it influenced a national election. The Popular Party,
whose leader Jose Maria Aznar had been a stalwart ally in the war
with the Jihadis, went down in an upset defeat to the Socialist
Party, led by Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.
Not having sought reelection himself, Sr. Aznar became the
first Spanish head of state to leave office without revolution
or coercion since the abdication of Charles V in 1556. Can we
hope as much from PM Zapatero?
Aside from announcing that he will not attempt to form a coalition
government, but rule on a straight Socialist platform, PM-elect
Zapatero announced his intent to pull out all Spanish troops from
participation in the "coalition of the willing" safeguarding Iraq.
Zapatero went so far as to mischaracterize the freeing of the
Iraqi people, saying, "The occupation is...a fiasco." Occupation?
What occupation?
Zapatero further signaled a return to head-in-the-sand postures
in dealing with the terrorists. "Terrorism is combated by the
state of law. ... That's what I think Europe and the international
community have to debate." This preferred European stance on
terrorism -- treating it as a matter for police investigation and
prosecution rather than a war -- is, by the way, the same method
preferred by Candidate John Kerry.
And who is Zapatero's preferred candidate in the U.S. presidential
race? "We're aligning ourselves with Kerry. ...Our alliance
will be for peace, against war, no more deaths for oil, and for
a dialogue between the government of Spain and the new Kerry
administration. ...I think Kerry will win. I want Kerry to win."
(This gives Kerry two public endorsements from foreign leaders:
Kim Jung Il, North Korea's Communist dictator and all-round
fruitcake, threatening to provide terrorists with nuclear WMD;
and now a Socialist intent on appeasing those very same terrorists.
Congratulations, Comrade Kerry!)
While some -- including the majority of Spanish voters -- chided
Aznar's government for pinning early blame on ETA, the Basque
terrorist group, before indicating Islamist involvement, the
facts are more sobering. The combination of ETA and al-Qa'ida
m.o.'s, together with a growing body of evidence, points to the
possibility of a combined operation by the two terror groups --
both intent on the overthrow of western governments.
On cross-examination...
"One Spaniard who decided to switch his vote in reaction to the
bombings told the [New York Rag] Times: 'Maybe the Socialists will
get our troops out of Iraq and al-Qaida will forget about Spain
so we will be less frightened.' That's the fighting spirit! If
the violent Basque separatist group only killed more people, Spain
would surely give them what they want, too. ... After his stunning
upset victory, Socialist Party leader Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero
vowed to withdraw Spanish troops from Iraq if the United States
does not turn over Iraq to the United Nations. He also vowed that
all of Spain's remaining trains will run on time." --Ann Coulter
Open query...
"Eventually, of course, as the genocidal nature of the Islamist
fury becomes manifest even to the most obtuse, all will rally
to the resistance -- as eventually they did in occupied Europe
against Hitler. The question that remains is how many more must
die before the maximum war-fighting effort is mounted by the
united civilized nations." --Tony Blankley
>From the "Non Compos Mentis" Files...
"It is clear that using force is not the answer to resolving
the conflict with terrorists." --European Commission President
Romano Prodi
The BIG lie...
"The President is the one who dragged our troops to Iraq, which
has apparently been a factor in the death of 200 Spaniards over the
weekend. For the President of the United States to assert that we
were safer because Saddam Hussein is in jail is ludicrous, given
what happened three days ago in Spain." --Howard Dean, speaking
in support of John Kerry, arguing that fighting terrorism is the
root of all terrorism
On the political front...
As the Spanish election results indicate, an early voter response
to an attack is to attempt appeasement of the terrorists to avert
further attacks...at least in Spain. Seemingly making his appeal
to the Spanish electorate, John Kerry warned: "When it comes to
protecting America from terrorism, this administration is big on
bluster and they're short on action. But as we saw again last
week in Spain, real action is what we need." Unfortunately for
Kerry, key international supporter PM-elect Zapatero has made it
crystal clear that terrorist appeasement is the order of the day.
For Kerry, the trouble lies in the dawning suspicion that he
is the preferred candidate not only of Europe's old guard but
also of Osama bin Laden himself. Osama, you will recall, had the
greatest ease in laying the groundwork for his organized offensives
against U.S. targets when the U.S. adopted the European approach --
that is, during the Clinton years of treating terrorism as a law
enforcement and crime problem. Moreover, those years convinced
Osama and his lieutenants of U.S. cowardice and materialism,
boosting their contempt for us and whetting their appetites for
bringing ever-greater attacks to our countrymen abroad and on
our shores.
No news from abroad this week as campaign exchanges continued
over Kerry's "Big Lie" that allied foreign leaders want him to win
and change U.S. policy. President Bush again challenged Kerry to
name them: "If you're going to make an accusation in the course
of a presidential campaign you ought to back it up with facts."
Kerry repeated his assertion that he wasn't "making anything
up at all." "I stand by my statement," he said. "The point is
not the leaders. What's important is that this administration's
foreign policy is not making us as safe as we can be in the world."
But Kerry being Kerry, he didn't "stand by his statement" for long.
"I think the quote...was that I 'heard from,' that's the direct
quote. I've likewise had meetings. I said I've heard from, that
was what I believe I said," Kerry waffled later.
Then on Tuesday, by winning the Illinois primary Kerry clinched
sufficient delegates (topping the 2,162 needed) to claim the Demo
presidential mantle for certain. Kerry's campaign offenders
have been stopping the presses, demanding first that written
references to their man use the full "John F. Kerry" nomenclature.
Admittedly, we were a tad amused at this feint to evoke the "JFK"
aura of the robust Irish Democrat from Massachusetts. We broke
into peals of laughter, though, when RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie,
who really derives from Irish ancestors, offered this limerick in
honor of Kerry for St. Patrick's Day: "There once was a man from
Nantucket / Whose misstatements could fill up a bucket. /Oft the
truth he has bent, / Like his 'Irish descent.' / Of his record
he says, 'I'll just duck it'."
Speaking of J"F"K, now that the FCC has banned the use of the "F"
word, the ignoble one will have to recast his campaign speeches.
DEMO-gogue campaign quotes...
"I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against
it." --John F. Kerry, explaining his vote for AND against
supplemental funds for troops in Iraq -- the same troops he says
Mr. Bush sent in "under-equipped." When asked about Kerry's
invitation to debate on the issues, George Bush responded,
"We'll talk about that when Senator Kerry is finished debating
the issues with himself."
News from the Swamp...
On the Hill, you know it's election season when... what should
have been an easy vote Wednesday, in praise of our troops and the
Iraqi people during the year's military actions, was anything but.
House Minority Leader (and consummate Leftist) Nancy Pelosi,
among other Demos, wasn't in any mood to dole out praise to
our valorous fighting forces. She was, however, in a fine mood
for deriding the "hypocrisy and inconsistency" of Republicans
during some of the unpleasantness in the six hours of debate.
Despite Pelosi's caterwauling, the measure passed, 327-93.
In lower chamber doings, the House Budget Committee voted,
24-18, to refuse following Senate language in blocking future
tax cuts unless "paid for" with specific budget spending trims
or offsetting tax increases. The conference committee on that
will be interesting -- to reconcile the stances at loggerheads.
Judicial Benchmarks...
In the halls of justice on the right, in New York, U.S. District
Judge Richard Casey ruled that the case must go forward to
determine the constitutionality of the Partial Birth Abortion Ban.
Abortion industry businesses sued in multiple jurisdictions to
strike down the ban, while challenging the Justice Department's
access to medical records relevant to the abortionists' assertions
that the infant-killing procedure is often "medically necessary."
It's a predictably shady trick from the Left-legalists -- sue
on the basis of "medical necessity" then deny courtroom review
of all evidence that goes to that "medical necessity" question.
(The similar San Francisco case has gone precisely along those
lines, with the DOJ denied even heavily redacted medical records
of women who had abortions.) Stay tuned; New York courts are
proving much saner than those out on the Leftcoast.
>From the Leftjudiciary, U.S. District Judge Napoleon Jones Jr. is
back, and with another decision wholly biased against the Desert
Pacific Council of the Boy Scouts. Judge Jones on Monday refused
to permit the Justice Department to file a brief in support of the
Scouts, declaring that the federal government fails to have any
"strong interest in the constitutional principles involved with
this case." Judge Jones surely has his head up his black robe in
overreaching to this conclusion. The essential underlying issues,
which the Justice Department wished to assist in championing,
are the First Amendment rights of the Boy Scouts to determine
membership requirements along moral lines without government
interference or prejudice attempting to change their moral
principles. And if those constitutional principles are not
essential to the federal government, then our Constitution is
null and void.
Around the nation...
>From the states, attempts to tyrannically push forward redefinition
of marriage continued this week, albeit somewhat abated.
The halting of "marriages" in San Francisco late last week
came after 4,037 same-sex couples were provided invalid marriage
licenses -- invalid because they're illegal under California laws.
(Apparently just under 4,000 of the pairs had ceremonies with
their invalid licenses.)
Just up the Leftcoast, Oregon Attorney General Hardy Myers declared
himself unperturbed over this stealthy redefinition of marriage
contrary to law. "The Oregon Supreme Court likely would conclude
that withholding from same-sex couples the legal rights, benefits
and obligations that under current law are automatically granted
to married couples of the opposite sex violates" the constitution,
he stated. And Benton County thereupon joined Oregon's Multnomah
County in issuing marriage licenses to homosexual couples.
New York law enforcers, meanwhile, again showed more spunk and
spine in sticking to the laws they swore to uphold, filing charges
against two Unitarian Universalist ministers who performed 13
illegal civil "marriage" ceremonies for same-sex couples in
New Paltz, after the township's mayor was earlier charged with
similar offenses.
Around the world...
Following his landslide re-election after eliminating all
meaningful opposition, Russian President Vlady Putin promised to
do what he certainly did not during his first term: "We will be
further strengthening the multiparty system and civil society,
and we will do our best to guarantee the freedom of the press,"
he said. Secretary of State Colin Powell has accused Putin
of abetting the "level of authoritarianism creeping back" into
Russian society -- a phenomenon the former KGB principal knows
a little something about.
And last...
A recent candidate survey of the Humane Society queried of John
Kerry, "Do you have any pets that have made an impact on you
personally?" The haughty and highfalutin husband of the Heinz
heiress replied: "When I was serving on a swiftboat in Vietnam, my
crewmates and I had a dog we called VC. We all took care of him,
and he stayed with us and loved riding on the swiftboat deck."
Well, isn't that special!
If you want a more accurate picture of Kerry's "service" in
Vietnam, pets and all, C-SPAN will broadcast Kerry's dishonorable
1971 testimony to the Fulbright Committee this Sunday night at
6:30pm and 9:30pm, Eastern. Perhaps C-SPAN can find some old
footage of John and Hanoi Jane rallying their ilk of spoiled
malcontents. Maybe they will even show the cover of Kerry's
infamous book, "The New Soldier," with his oily VVAW friends
under an inverted American flag....
