Could they be more naive and hence dangerous to their own country? I don’t see how.
Yeah, I'm sure revealing our national secrets will do it.
You Know The Drill
Click the PicHey! FReepers!
Help Fill The Tank!
How About It? Huh?
It Ain't Askin' Too Much
Ya Know....
This REGIME is going to get us all killed!!
We only need one, provided it is aimed at the right target.
Treason. No legal action of any kind. Nothing to see here..move along...move along.
I’m sure Chia-Head in North Korea will announce that the Norks are cutting back on their nuclear arsenal as well, and Iran will immediately stop their nuclear weapons program, in order to sit around a campfire and sing Kum_Bay_YAH with President Obama and Secretary Clinton...

Hey didn’t Bush already agree to specific reductions ... and specific remaining warheads? I am not sure this is a big deal.
It takes just one to turn Iran into a huge glass skating rink.
Well, actually I would imagine that the only ones who didn’t know that were the common ordinary citizens... all the governments who have their intelligence agencies working on those kinds of things, probably already have the same numbers listed a long time ago ... :-)
National Secrets, aid to our enemies.
All too true.
That was my first thought the day after the election in November 2008.
‘Now all our enemies will know all our secrets’. Too sad to think about.
Actually the stated reason is plausible. It's not that it was any great secret. Close estimates were on the interweb - Wikipedia, Global Security, Federation of Atomic Scientists, and nuclearweaponarchive U.S. Nuclear Weapon Enduring Stockpile Last changed 31 August 2007
At the beginning of 2007 the U.S. nuclear arsenal was composed of eight types of nuclear warheads (in thirteen variant mods) that are operationally deployed, with an estiamted count of 5,736 active stockpile warheads.The information was there for anyone who wanted it as background.
This announcment only makes it available to people too stupid to use Google. And what do you think people believing "galvanise efforts to rid the world of nuclear weapons" is feasible are?
“Now all our enemies will know all our secrets”.
Yep, Obama, Axelrod, Emanuel, Jarrett, Malley, Van Jones, Joel Rogers, Soros, Rev. Wright, Maxine Waters, John Conyers”. They will know all our secrets.
“We have met the enemy and it is us”.
It’s naive to see this as naive.
So, did the Pentagon actually de-classify this information?
Who in The Pentagon? What was the nature of the debate therein?
The number of weapons is secondary in importance to the number of delivery systems. A nuke in a bunker is no good if it is your own bunker. A US nuke in a bunker in Iran is good.
