WASHINGTON – The Pentagon says the U.S. maintains 5,113 nuclear warheads in its stockpile and "several thousand" more retired nukes that await dismantling. Monday's announcement marked the first time the Pentagon has officially disclosed the number. The U.S. has previously regarded such details as top secret. A senior defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, says the size of the stockpile represents a 75 percent reduction since 1989.

Really, honestly MIND BLOWING. Why is this information being released? In every way, in every situation, the government is doing the exact OPPOSITE of what they should be doing.

It just keeps getting worse and worse.....

Obama needs to be impeached and tried for treason.

One can only be a traitor to one’s own country.

Next I guess they will demand to know what Israel’s number is. Man, I sure miss Reagan.

[silverleaf]

the ONLY reason they did this was to try and trivialize the serverity of Iran and North Korea getting a few lousy nukes

After all, who are “WE” to judge ...

seriously, I believe this is the attitude of the fools running our country

The Communist fox is in the hen house. The goal is not the betterment of this nation.

At what point does the leaking of confidential information rise to the level of treason?

[FarRightFanatic]

Agreed. At what point do his actions rise to the level of ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’? This country will not survive another 2 1/2 years with him in office.

[ScoopAmma]

Who is protecting us any more? Our own government betraying each and everyone of us. And they wonder why the anger is growing.

[lowbridge]

U.S. (Obama) is expected to reveal size of nuclear stockpile

[a fool in paradise]

McCarthy and Cohn were right about there being a fifth column within our State Department and US military.

Right then, right now.

RELEASE THE PAPERS ON NADIL HASAN, what the military knew and when they knew it and who decided it was ok to ignore his contacts with Al Qaeda.

[dfwgator]

Well why doesn’t he just tell everybody where they all are, while he’s at it? /s

[Pontiac]

Obama has absorbed and embraced every America hating falsehood that the Communist Party USA has ever disseminated.

The man believes that the US is evil, that capitalism is evil and that both must be destroyed.

Hence anything that could weaken the US and give our enemies an advantage is naturally good.

Monday's announcement marked the first time the Pentagon has officially disclosed the number.

So can we disclose Obamas birth certificate now?

[lowbridge]

Well why doesn’t he just tell everybody where they all are, while he’s at it?

Oh thats probably whats next. After which he will give out the launch codes to Iran and Russia.

[Deo volente]

The U.S. has previously regarded such details as top secret.

Previous rules and policies have been thrown out the window by this administration. It's "anything goes" now. We are lurching towards chaos.

[I still care]

To encourage others to release the info also.

Is this mind blowing stupidity? Because it seems like mind blowing stupidity to me.

I can just imagine Dennis Millers next monologue.

[MrB]

You realize the New Yorker used that cover to
belittle conservatives who were saying those
things about him before the election.

Now, how much of it is untrue?

[Nachum]

The list, ping
