The United States today for the first time since 1962 disclosed the size of its nuclear arsenal in what officials described as an as an unprecedented unveiling of a state secret and an attempt to encourage other countries to be open about their nuclear capabilities.

The Pentagon announced the U.S. currently has 5,113 nuclear warheads in its stockpile – an 84 percent reduction from a peak of 31,255 warheads in 1967.

"For those who doubt that the United States will do its part on disarmament, this is our record, these are our commitments, and they send a clear, unmistakable signal," said U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton before the U.N.'s conference on the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.

Her comments were a direct rebuke to those made earlier today by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who said the U.S. has not met its non-proliferation commitments and uses nuclear weapons to threaten other countries.

It would be like Japan. A relatively small country that was hit twice yet there are many people there today.

Try, as a thought experiment, to put yourself into the mind of a 1960’s anti war, anti establishment, anti American hippy mentality. You’ve got an advanced degree in Russian Art Literature, so you know you’re smart and all the pigs (cops or any “establishment” types) are dumb as dirt and not worthy of washing your tie-die Che t-shirt. Now, imagine 40 years have passed and you’re now “The Government.” Except, you’re not going to make the same pig mistakes. You’ll do what you knew was right from your college days. You’ll not only legalize pot and abortion, you’ll make it free and universal. You’ll give away money so people can buy cars and houses because it’s those damned rich people keeping us down that cause all the missery. Oh, and that stupid nuclear bomb stuff; we’ll just get rid of them and won’t the world be a better place? (Oh, man, this is sooo cool, roll me a dubbie will you?) And, then we’ll get rid of all the pigs in uniforms, ‘cause...dam, this is some good shit, wow! I can see Venus from here; and then we’ll stop wasting money on that stupid space program and use it all to, like, improve the environment and stuff; oh, wow! and, like, then we’ll have, like, universal peace and, like, everything will be really cool and stuff...

I’m 54 years old and harken back to that wonderful time when we had a President. His name was Ronald Wilson Reagan. He actually was on the United State’s side!

Traitor. She should be bound face to face with Jane Fonda in the Orgasmatron.

Let's not forget, Obama has halted any new Nuclear Weapon Design and Research. He is dismantling this Country's Military Capability brick by brick.

My question is, how do the people running the Military let this information get out without resigning their Commissions in protest?

Obama is a cancer, and we now know there is nobody within the Government to stop him. Why didn't the Republicans make this an issue when they knew it was coming?

Where are the Patriots?
