Thanks for the ping.
Nuclear weapons are the worst thing in the world except for the alternative which is defeat.
The numbers we have should be tied to an analysis of what it would take to take on two major conventional forces simultaneously.
We face insurgencies and proxy wars because we are presently unbeatable on the conventional battlefield. The moment we give up our conventional war advantage, in that very moment conventional war is what we will face. And we will no longer be unbeatable. We lost 400,000 military dead in about 40 months time in the second world war because we didn’t go in with a decisive advantage, we had to build that advantage on the fly. Next time it will be worse. Next time American cities will burn.
One other thing; negotiating away our nukes doesn’t protect us from nuclear attack anyway. If a nuke hits us it won’t be delivered by an ICBM from China or Russia, it will be delivered in a seatrain shipping container with lots of contradictory arabic chatter in the days leading up to it so in the aftermath we lash out against the sock puppet instead of the hand.

This is unverified, but it is a blog entry that was just posted today on RepubX:
“I work for a major news company, however, I am unaware of the canadafreepress story that you refer to. I am forced to use masked, out of country, anonymous internet proxies just to post this blog. I don’t know whose lives are at risk, I don’t know the names of all of the lawmakers involved in the case.
I have only been given vague information and that information has nervously come in bits and pieces from several credible sources and one lawmaker. I do know that, according to my sources that, the Barack Obama presidency is in serious question. My original source has become sources, and now more people are talking. Most of the insiders in Washington, California and Texas will shape how this will play out with Carter, Orly and Keyes. The Rhodes case is a last resort, a southern court, a southern judge, and a military officer refusing to deploy is a problem. But if Obama has any hand in dismissal, it will be known, and the bribed will be sought. Keyes vs. Obama will be the case I can most assure you. You have to understand that even though most of the concerned citizens want the story to come out now, there are federal agencies, and sectors within those agencies, who thankfully are currently disconnected from control and influence of the White House, who’s work is not finished. Most conservative and even liberal journalist alike are very desperate for the story, many of them want it to save their own careers which they know are now in question. I am getting hints that this all plays out in late Oct. I do however; expect to see more Obama documents released in the next 30 days.”
