US reveals size of nuclear arsenal
UK Telegraph ^ | 5/3/10

Posted on 05/03/2010 4:55:09 PM PDT by NativeNewYorker

The US revealed the size of its nuclear arsenal last night in an unprecedented attempt to galvanise efforts to rid the world of nuclear weapons.

Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, announced the declassification of one of the Pentagon’s most closely guarded secrets at the opening day of a critical international meeting on global disarmament.

The Pentagon’s figures show that the US stockpile consists of 5,113 nuclear warheads and “several thousand” more retired warheads that await dismantling. The figures reveal an 84 per cent reduction from the historic peak of 31,225 warheads in 1967 at the height of the Cold War.

“Beginning today, the United States will make public the number of nuclear weapons in our stockpile and the number of weapons we have dismantled since 1991,” Mrs Clinton told the UN review conference on the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

A U.S. nuke in an Iranian bunker will never happen.

Iran may give the U.S. a demonstration of how a nuke works though.

You are, of course, absolutely correct.

However, the naif in the White House thinks that revealing how many warheads we have is going to do anything to encourage people to reduce their stockpiles.

A gigaton nuke would destroy Iran but I don’t think we have anything like that.

It’s only going to get the enemy excited as to the possibilites. It’s all games being plaid here. Strange ones but definitely visible ones making us weaker and more insecure moraly speaking, losing the perception game.

This is gun registration and confiscation call.

Treason and racism and race card. They hate America, America the white or what not. It is obvious who they work for.

The black and foreign Nazies are on the rise again. I am surprized no Hitler is yet surfacing from Europe yet.

Obama and his globalist elite puppeteers have no patriotism in them because patriotism is the adversary of the one world order.

Over here I am not looking for a regime change to take place, either this November[ Congress] or the November two years hence [White House].

I hear what Limbaugh, Hannidity, and everyone else says.

But, I also know who is in charge now and this is who we are dealing with.

We are dealing with the most evil and perverse that ever breathed. That others have seemed to be more evil and perverse is only because they have hhad more power than these do at this point in time.

As this group consolidates its power, its real face will become more and more visible.

That is compounded by a majority of the population that would prefer existing as slaves to the government that to live lives responsible for their own actions.

We have allowed our industrail base to be completely destroyed in the name of “enviromentalism”.

The main media organizations have sold their souls to the communists.

We have allowed such organizations as the ALCU to kick Almighty God aside and tell Him that He is not welcome here. Though he could, he won’t stay where he is not wanted.
And when He leaves, He takes His blessings with Him.

In closing, I would agree with those who say that come November, we will begin cleaning house and will continue two years hence, if, we were deling with honest decent people. But we are not. We are dealing with individuals who have no principles, no conscience, bad morals, are degenerate and evil.They have only a insatible desire to rule and hold power over others, no matter what they have to do to achieve and keep it.

To effect a regime change at the ballot box, we will have to do two things: 1. Pray that Almighty God will intervein.
2. Submit to His will and direction.

They missed the one in my shed. It’s amazing what a young Airman will trade for a Glock.
