- John Kerry; The Coral Gables debate.Right now the president is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to research bunker-busting nuclear weapons. The United States is pursuing a new set of nuclear weapons.
The accusation was was made twice but never denied.
So, aside from the obvious new cold-war-pork for the cold war buddies of Bush senior, what is the purpose of such as weapon?
Obviously we can use existing nuclear weapons to attack a bunker. Even the National Command Center under the Rocky Mountains is vulnerable to direct hits. So why don't we use nuclear weapons to get the Saddams of the world? The answer is obvious: We don't want the lid to Pandora's Box opened. Once it is it may never be shut. We all know the post nuclear war scenarios.
Bush doesn't want Bunker-Busting Nuclear Weapons because we don't have weapons to do the job, he wants to make nuclear weapons that will really be used. Bush wants the weapons for a tactical nuclear war - a war that can allegedly be fought with acceptable devestation, and planet-wide contamination.
He has already begun the new age of nuclear war; and we will pay, and pay, and pay. Three cheers for deficit spending!
Thanks Mr. Bush!
