Barrack Obama's Plan for our Military...
 
Watch and make your own decision. My concern is not the Nuke issue, but the "Slowing of development" and the issue of taking the ICBM's off of alert.

I was a proponent of nuclear weapons for a number of years. One of my previous jobs was at a defense nuclear facility that produced 55% of our nations nuclear material and currently stores about 30-50 tons of it. We have many thousands of nuclear weapons in-service or readily available; the former Soviet Union has much more.

In todays world, it doesn't require the number of weapons we have to project the power our politians desire. Also, I do much work around the country with our first responders and other agencies to prepare and respond to nuclear and radiological events.

I applaud him for the desire to remove our nuclear weapons from immediate use; I applaud him for pursuing prevention of fissile material to countries that do not have it.

I don't know if we can ever go to a world without nuclear weapons, but it is a nice goal. There is a group in Cali that seeks to abolish nuclear weapons or remove our weapons from an "immediate use" posture. If you'd like more info, check our wagingpeace.org. I don't agree with all their views, but I think some deserve consideration.
