Ok, I'm not happy with that revelation, but there is this:
Everybody, from Putin to Chia Pet to the mullahs to me & you, KNOWS that Obama is a prolific liar. They (we) surely have as much doubt as belief in that number. Therefore, it reveals nothing.
If he is lying, there is no point in telling a small lie. If we had 100 more or less, why lie about it? No, the only lie worth telling in this instance is a BIG one.
The issue is not whether Obama is lying about the number of warheads, because he didn’t issue the figure. The number came from the DOD, and neither Secretary Gates nor the uniformed military are about to lie to cover up for the president.
The issue, rather, is what the number 5,113 means. How usable are they? Is the stockpile reliable? How reliable and usable will they be in 5, 10, and 15 years? What are our delivery platforms and do they address potential threats?
