Hmmmm .... You don't say ...

So on the week where our Secretary of State said on news of death of Quadaffi, “we came, we saw, we killed him” and the EU is collapsing economically, and Libya announces it is moving to a radical sharia state...and I am supposed to sleep better knowing the world is going to hell in a hand basket?

Iran, Commie China, & North Korea LIKE!

Eh. Outmoded gravity bomb that needed to be dropped right over the target by a manned sub-sonic and decidedly unstealthy bomber.

These and the version on the Titan were for an age when the guidance system was mechanical gyros and CPEs were measured in miles. “Throw weight’ was the metric then. The demise of this venerable system is not to be lamented.

What I am more concerned about is the dramatic reduction in our modern systems overall and a potential unbalancing of the triad. That and the fact that the bad guys WILL militarize space as their capabilities grow.

Obeyme will let our inventory and options drop right through the floor of what is a credible deterrent, just because he thinks we deserve to be humbled, humiliated and neutered as a world power.

So we're replacing it with a more powerful one that is smaller and lighter, deployable via cruise missile with stealth technology so that bad guys don't know what's coming until there is a giant mushroom cloud in their backyard!? Just dreaming-

In the meantime, death to Future Combat System, Zumwald, F22, cut backs on the F35, cuts on missile defense, cuts on defense personnel and end strength...

Nothing good has ever come from American weakness or isolationism.

I'm not so concerned that some of these things are being dismantled. They have a limited shelf life anyway.

What is more concerning is whether they are being replaced by anything other than this administration's well wishes to our enemies.

The weapon is considered dismantled when the roughly 300 pounds of high explosives inside are separated from the special nuclear material, known as the pit. The uranium pits from bombs dismantled at Pantex will be stored on an interim basis at the plant, Cunningham said.

Let's tell the terrorist where to look.

[factoryrat]

Where are the pieces going?

[aruanan]

But what are we going to use to send out to a giant asteroid to blow the crap out of it before it hits the earth?

[Moltke]

Damn, that’s like being 12 years old and having to throw away the biggest firecracker in your collection.

Couldn’t they’ve just dropped it on Tehran, say instead of sending a Chrismas card?

[Professional]

I’m surprised we didn’t donate it to a lesser country. It isn’t fair that Venezuela doesn’t have one, or the emerging democracies of Libya, Egypt...

Obama is sure making sure the world for America is a very unsafe place! Middle East ready to erupt into G-d knows what, every ally we ever had wondering if we will stand with them and now here we are destroying weaponry we can’t afford to rebuild.

[American in Israel]

A year ahead of schedule! This has to be the first efficient government effort in history, disarmament. Obama can be efficient on some things.
