BREAKING : US says it has 5,113 nuclear warheads (THANKS OBAMA)
Yahoo ^

Posted on 05/03/2010 6:54:09 PM PDT by Scythian

WASHINGTON – The United States has 5,113 nuclear warheads in its stockpile and "several thousand" more retired warheads awaiting the junkpile, the Pentagon said Monday in an unprecedented accounting of a secretive arsenal born in the Cold War and now shrinking rapidly.

The Obama administration disclosed the size of its atomic stockpile going back to 1962 as part of a campaign to get other nuclear nations to be more forthcoming, and to improve its bargaining position against the prospect of a nuclear Iran.

I think you meant to say the Russian-Venezuelan-Iranian alliance? Part of me suspects Venezuela in the oil rig explosion... In other words, we may already be “there”.

Anyone releasing such information should be impeached, removed from office, and prosecuted under all applicable laws for giving aid and comfort to our enemies for this as well as other related charges. POTUS nor anyone should have power to release such critical information on a whim.

Federal governent agencies who's job is the national security of the United States need to do what they can under the law as well. This was a serious breach of national security.

The same rules for nuclear weapon surety that apply to an E-3 should as well apply to the Commander In Chief and Sec of State. Actually not even Sec of State had any business knowing this information. Sec of Defense? Yes. JCOS? Yes. VP? Yes. Only those with need to know should know. Now everyone knows.

This is treason.

Yep. That was the exact term for it when I was in too. What happened to Nuclear Surety? I knew some GMT's in my day and we got to be pretty good friends. No friend would have gotten nuclear secrets from them though. Obama just whizzed on all who have died to keep our nuclear secrets safe.

This is all designed by Zero to maximize the pressure on the US to reduce their arsenal another 86% ... what country in the world will reduce their stockpile until we reduce to their levels?

Zero is a traitor ...

- destroying the economy
- failing to protect Americans from terrorists
- building a new dictatorship shadow gov
- dismantling our military
- pulling out of strategic areas too quickly, leaving a power vacuum for Iran to walk in to

I can’t believe the idiocy of this man’s actions — and that’s the mildest way I can put my reaction to this.... It does NOT convey my fury at his ineptitude,

Obama and the hardcore commie leftist around him do what they do *intentionally*, not out of naivete or incompetency.

From Obama's June 2009 speech in Cairo:

"No single nation should pick and choose which nations hold nuclear weapons. That is why I strongly reaffirmed America’s commitment to seek a world in which no nations hold nuclear weapons."

From "45 Communist Goals":
Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963:

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

'Goals' 4-45 can be found here:

All this is released, but the long-form birth certificate is safeguarded.

I know I’m not the first to notice this, but I had to vent.

God help us.

"No mention of exactly what he changed, and personally I don’t feel like comparing line by line."

You do not have to compare anything. As I stated, I agree that his action is undesirable. The purpose of my post was to point out that National Security rests with the Executive Branch as provided for in the Constitution much to the chagrin of those demonstrating culpable ignorance on the subject.

In summary, I do not condone his actions but they are within his constitutional charter.

Then it makes sense that we could spare one or two to be airlifted to Iran to assist them in their nuclear program. After detonation, all of Iran could be nuclear.

BO and his henchman are the biggest threat to the security of this nation. He makes this statement in public, but what national security secrets are he and his administration revealing to our enemies outside the statements to his press—this is the key issue? This is not good. We have an anti-american, racist, bigot in the white house and he must be watched closely.
