Oh shit...

The Americans are actually going to do this: research and develop a new generation of low-yield and bunker-busting nuclear weapons, fondly called mini-nukes - like they are cute itty bitty little nukes! The reality is, they are about one third as strong as the bomb used on Hiroshima, which killed about 45,000. Nothing little about that!!



Rumsfeld says it's just research, not production... but why the hell research it if you dont plan to ever produce it. After spending all that money and building test models you can be damn sure they are going to produce those bombs... and find a reason to use them. Probably Osama (hell, the man is probably not even alive any more but sure as hell makes a fine bogeyman) or his organisation, which has enjoyed unprecedented media exposure (no marketing firm could ever have done as much for them as the US government) and, because of the fun and games in Iraq, huge numbers of volunteers and sympathisers. Destroying biotoxins or chemical agents was also mentioned - are they NUTS??? There are easier, safer ways of destroying dangerous materials, prominent weapons scientists have been warning this administration (An open letter yesterday by prominent weapons scientists says small nukes would actually be more likely to scatter biological or chemical agents than to incinerate them)!



The Americans better keep their big traps shut from now on when it comes to developing nukes, no way is the rest of the world simply going to do as they say, they are going to do as they do!



Oh shit, what a world are we making for our kids??? Battlefield nukes!!!
