Furthermore it would be suicidal for Russia to launch a nuclear attack on America. Even it they did succeed in destroying our land-based ICBM's, they couldn't reach our Trident submarines. (That's why we have Trident submarines). And just one (1) Trident submarine could devastate the 10 largest cities in Russia. I don't deny that Russia is distributing some WMD technology, but Tenet is probably referring to ballistic missile and biological weapons technology. As for Mr. Vreeland, how could he possibly obtain copies of top-secret memo's between Iraq and Russia? He's a fraud and so are his bogus memos.

If Russia had such weapons...bet ya they would use them in Chetyna!

This article reeks of strange substance and is lacking in verifiable facts.

The Trident subs have "mirved" multiple indepenedent reentry vehicles". If I am not mistaken a Trident sub carries a total of 180 warheads on its missles. (Any boat man out there correct me please on the proper number of warheads if I am wrong) One Trident sub can remove all the major cities of Russia. The Trident is the ultimate weapon of mutually assured destruction. It is not designed to be a first strike weapon but a weapon that is to be used to ensure the total and absolute destruction of any country that attacks us with nuclear weapons.

PS The name Trident is most appropriate as our nuclear force is base on land based missles, warheads delivered by SACs airplanes and sea based missles. Also, the trident is what is in the hand of Neptune (Greek god of the sea).

Take a pause and bless our young men and women in uniform that protect us this night. As we rest in our beds they may be on the ground in the Middle East, deep beneath the Artic Ocean and high above is in bombers and fighter jets. Some will also lay their lives down this week or next week or perhaps tonight as we sleep.
