A group of 18 former military and national security officials wrote to President Barack Obama on Friday urging the administration to cancel plans for further cuts in United States nuclear warheads, warning that new arms reductions would undermine U.S. security.
The ex-officials, including two former members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stated in the letter to Obama that North Koreas recent underground nuclear test, and concerns about growing Pyongyang-Tehran nuclear arms cooperation, undermines any further disarmament sought by the president.
In our professional judgment, born of decades of experience with national security policy and practice, Americas triad of nuclear-armed land-based and submarine-launched missiles and bomber-delivered nuclear weapons have promoted strategic stability and discouraged proliferation, the former officials stated.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
And this isn’t a major headline anywhere. Liberals will get us killed, that is what they do, no exaggeration.

Ping for Mr. H
“I don’t like you becuase you are going to get me killed!”
BO won’t even read the letter. It doesn’t go with his world view no matter what. He is stubborn to the point of stupidity. Arrogant and insecure all at once.
Why not kill two birds with one stone, and save a ton of money? ?
If it gets colder, just shoot off a couple of nukes and it will warm things up.
It if gets warmer, shoot off about a hundred of them, and it will cloud up and drop the temperature worldwide rather quickly.
Isn't technology wonderful?
I take comfort knowing that Nancy Pelosi’s district would be ground zero for a North Korean nuclear missile. Can someone put a bull’s eye on her roof with a taunting message in Korean..Bet you can’t hit this.
“.............Liberals will get us killed, that is what they do, no exaggeration.”
Absolutely. NO exaggeration whatsoever.
Anyone got a guess to where the thresh hold is at? Where you lose effective counter strike ability?
Can we even mount specials on tomahawks? Do we even have ALCMs that fly specials? Why bother with the Viginia Class if the 100 cruise missles dont wear nukes or that we dont have atomics to fit to them? I heard we only have about 700 warheads that are deployable....If each mirv holds 5 on a trident thats only 120 missles!
We are weak. We are very weak. When I grew up we seemed to think it could happen any day, our leaders today dont think about it happening at all. Why in the world couldnt we fall victim to a nuclear pearl harbor?
As an aside I did see a picture from the Russian meteorite incendent where a multi storie building was partialy knocked down and black smoke rising....Was that evidence of a deployed russian ABM system?
Yes they believe their leftist nonsense and they are so used to getting away with it they figure they will be among the privileged to escape any consequences. They are idiots and if you’ve ever worked with any of them they never acknowledge any of their disasterous mistakes.
But they missed, Williams! Now, we get to do them in.
How we do it is up to us ............................................................................. FRegards
