I happened upon a news article where President Obama was cited as saying that Nuclear Terrorism is the greatest threat to the United States. Can I get a big ole "No SH#T Sherlock" anyone? It is obvious that America needs to be concerned about nuclear terrorism, especially giving light to the countless number of rogue entities that presently have access to weapons grade nuclear materials, and the hostile nations who are trying to develop nuclear weapons programs. What I find to be ironic is while President Obama is acknowledging the threat of nuclear terrorism, he is in the process of limiting the roles of our nuclear forces.
OK, call me stupid, but if my enemy has an armored personnel carrier, why in the world would I give up my Br adley Fighting Vehicle? It just does not make a whole heck of a lot of sense at all. It is almost as if we are looking at the world of nuclear warfare as if it is something contained within a very small box. A truly illogical assessment to say the least.
As I said in my previous post, now it not the time to play poker with our country's defense. As long as we have our arsenal, other countries and enemies tend to think more than twice about doing anything as stupid as attacking America. As I see it, even if some terrorist were to attempt to launch a nuclear attack against America, he would be rising not having a country to call home afterwards. Of course that is assuming our Intel is worth anything.
Here is the bottom line America; we know people are gunning for us, so why in the name of all that is righteous would we so much as consider limiting the role of our nuclear forces. That is more than just irresponsible, it is stupid. I would love to believe ou r leadership is not stupid, but hey, if it waddles, quacks and swims, it must be a duck.
