I have some bad news for you, my friend. Not only are we not building any more MX's, but Dubya has plans to get rid of all 50 we currrently have. It's by far our biggest, most accurate, and highest yielding ICBM, but it's considered "too devisive" by the current (and former) administration. Well, if we're going to get rid of them, we might as well shoot 'em off. But that would involve utterly annihilating 500 separate targets, and I'm pretty sure Iraq doesn't have close to that many nuke-worthy locations.

I will hold out hope it is all a psyop ploy and that by getting rid of the 50 we currently have he secretly means that we are getting 500 better ones... :)

Keep in mind that thermo-nuclear technology just turned 50 years old on October 31st. I think it's a plausible assumption that we've got something even more strategically effective now.

Also remember that the Administration stated it was looking into intercontinental "kinetic weapons", an ICBM that would carry a large mass as the warhead that is not explosive, but that has the ability to be recalled.
