The profund inhibition to use nuclear weapons has allways come along with the weapon itself. Even new “club members” intuit there is a line that shouldn’t be crossed.

If the US looses this inhibition, it will rain down disaster on it’s citizens and the whole country. It is an invitation to preemptive strike from panicked foreign governments and their military.

A massive EMP weapon strike against the US would probably cause more fatalities and economic mayhem than older megaton city destroyers.

Is The U.S. Planning A Horrific Global Nuclear War?

Probably not, if they can avoid it. But global war they are planning and there are many weapons beyond and beneath nuclear available to them and they do plan to use them.

Sometimes no Peace,

The US is already using nuclear weapons with the addition of depleted uranium to its warheads and bullets. The effects are being felt by those living in and around Iraq as well as those coming home from Iraq. This has given the Pentagon and Bush Administration the idea they can step it up to bigger and better things. More nukes. The whole idea of dropping nukes on Iran’s nuclear facilities is even scarier. Do they believe that the destruction of these facilities won’t release the radiation from within them to the surrounding areas?

Radiological weapons aren’t properly speaking nuclear weapons. Even the M1A Abrams main battle tank uses depleted uranium as part of it’s armor. It has more to do with the process involved in depletion.

U-238 obtained after enrichment is radiologically depleted. Spent fuel rods is another matter. These rods cannot sustain fission in a reactor but are still radiologically very active.

It can be suspected that some of these rods find their way into ammunition, making them radiologic weapons.

Is The U.S. Planning A Horrific Global Nuclear War

has been for a while.

It’s interesting we’re so far into doublespeak that when military uses “toolbox” or “instruments” to describe weapons of mass murder, and an offensive preemptive strike becomes “defence” [sic] nobody runs from the scene waving arms in the air and puking. Looks like maybe “...it’s all over now, baby blue.”

BTW, I didn’t read the comments people made..but I read the article.

1. This tidbit ain’t news…the piece is 2 years old. Which brings up:
1a. Why is this being brought up now? We ALL know this and we ALL know this to be nothing new….Same information…and it’s on the frontpage of cnn.com….HELLO? Are you guys ego-stroking??

2. Are you people fucking stupid? This article happened years ago and you can posture and claim knowing “disinformation” and “independent thought”...yet, you don’t offer a solution. That’s pretty weak.

Where’s your “model”? You don’t like something? Offer something better that WORKS.
If you want to talk shit, you better back it up…especially if you’re an armchair theorist… Otherwise, you’re just another nobody.

I mean, c’mon guys…You’re just regurgitating each others crap.

NO individual thoughts. (just reconstituted vocabulary)

NO solutions.

Way to go.

Stupidity. One doesn’t need an alternative/replacement plan ready to go in order to address the problems at hand and deal with them before the next plan (or whatever) is implemented (which is many times the only way you can do it.)

If we used your way of doing it, firefighters (for example) would have to wait for blueprints and plans to be drawn up to replace or fix a structure that was on fire before they could actually put it out.

The Unthinkable: The US- Israeli Nuclear War on Iran

you versus everybody, go talk to shrub, i think you got bout 2% of the planet on your side, so you’re not totally alone.

Iran Must Get Ready to Repel a Nuclear Attack

I think the only way the US would ever attack Iran with a nuke, as in a big nuke, designed to kill lots and lots of people, is if an American city was nuked first.

The scary thing is that the US govt has sacrificed its own people before in the name of getting what it wants.

I hope it wont do it with nuclear weapons, but honestly I don’t have that much faith in their morals.

Actually, thinking about it, it wouldn’t have to be an American city, any of the US’s “allies” should do I would reckon.

Maybe its time for Pakistan to step up to the plate and nuke one of its cities and blame it on Iran.

Yeah, Pakistan would do that for the U.S., then after The U.S. has invaded Iran, Pakistan would blame the nuke on India, and proceed to invade India through Kashmir.

What a great idea! We could get rid of Pakistan and or India, along with Iran!!!
