OT USA To Use Nuclear Weapons In Preemptive Strikes
We really are doomed now:
''Preemptive Nuclear Strikes - Now Only A Matter of Time By D.L. McCracken Sep 12, 2005, 16:37 Email this article Printer friendly page Have you been paying close attention to the horror that is New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina? Have you found yourself not really following other news items of significant importance because first, Katrina has pushed everything else to the back burner by mainstream media and second, what is happening in New Orleans is all the bad news you can handle at the moment? There is at least one piece of information released to the media recently that deserves much more attention than it's receiving. Have you by chance skimmed over headlines or caught the back end of a news item with contain phrases such as, "revised doctrine for the use of nuclear weapons"? How about "preemption strategies"? It's time to start paying close attention because something else is happening in the United States that is pretty damn scary. It's called The Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations and the Pentagon has drafted certain revisions to the original 1995 document which simply put, describes the role of U.S. nuclear deterrence, force posturing and deployment considerations. In a nutshell, the doctrine specifies definite rules for the use by the U.S. of nuclear weapons. The newly revised doctrine provides more options and reasons for using nuclear devices as well as other weapons of mass destruction against nations and/or terrorist groups and furthermore, includes an option for preemptive use of said weapons. In other words, the revised doctrine includes the option for the United States to fire off the first nuclear missile - a preemptive strike, an idea that was initially announced by U.S. President George W. Bush in 2002. Along with the newly revised preemption clause, the doctrine also incorporates: - a reduction in the level of hostilities where a nuclear weapon could be utilized; - a support for the utilization of nuclear weapons against all forms of weapons of mass destruction including chemical and biological; - a support for deploying nuclear weapons against terrorists and terror factions; - support for protection of nuclear forces over protecting people. The revised doctrine contains over 20 additional pages devoted to various nuclear options including the use of nulcear devices in theatre operations or in an active combat zone. The new chapter devoted to theater nuclear operations was added as a direct result of the emergence of dangerous 'rogue states' and organized terrorist factions especially if those entities had been successful in obtaining weapons of mass destruction. Critics of the revised doctrine warn that the added options for deployment of a nuclear device "threaten to make nuclear weapons just another tool in the toolbox". The revised document also includes at least four scenarios where commanders in a combat theatre situation request Presidential approval for use of nuclear weapons first. According to The Nuclear Information Project, "in nuclear preemption, the objective no longer is deterrence through threatened retaliation but battlefield destruction of targets with nuclear weapons first in anticipation that deterrence will fail." Th revised docrine also takes into consideration the inevitable collateral damage caused by a nuclear device, even weapons with a "lower yield". One paragraph from the revised doctrine states,"Specific techniques for reducing nuclear collateral damage may include lower yield weapons, improving accuracy, employing multiple smaller weapons, adjusting the height of burst, and offsetting the desired ground zero." So there you have it. Nuclear weapons are the ultimate killing machines. Deterrence has worked for decades but suddenly the Bush administration wants to scrap deterrence and incorporate preemptive strike capability when that administration or a commander in a ground combat situation feels that it would be appropriate. We all are deeply aware of the destruction that one small nuclear bomb can create, not only in the immediate aftermath of a strike but in the weeks, months, years and decades to come. At a time when we would hope that our world leaders would be doing their utmost to decrease the nuclear threat, the world's most powerful nation is writing doctrines that will allow them to strike first - anywhere on this planet. It's now only a matter of time.'' http://www.halifaxlive.com/artman/pu...905_6619.shtml |

- Relax.. They'll just screw it up again.. Look at the great job they did in Iraq.. WMD's in Costa Rica ( *BOOM* ) |
- Interesting thought.. What if someone nukked an active volcano . . . ? ? With Curious George in The White house.. we may find out.. " Do You Know The Way To San Jose . . ' ( la la lala la la la la la . . ) |
Suits me.I say NUKE all of the ragheads.

Canadians don't like it that America is building a nuclear shield
either,do they do or do they not? cuhulin |

Just an aside... It is believed by some in high places that China will sweet
talk Mexico into giving them military access with intent to invade the U.S.A. "should current trends continue..." China is making plans for expansion. In their view, it's a matter of life or death... Simple survival. Overpopulation, etc... The trigger could be Taiwan. Not anytime soon, but Hitler had his plans before 1930. Who knows what will happen for sure, but this isn't the most outrageous thing I've ever heard of. U.S. Relations with Mexico can certainly get worse as the immigration issue eventually needs to be dealt with. DJM "David" wrote in message ...

Yes the USA can Help Save the World from the Bad People who would Destroy the Planet. . so that the meek can inherit the earth - amen ~ RHF enter pedant mode Neutron bombs can only be small yield devices. A "normal" thermonuclear bomb works in three phases. First a (Plutonium/Uranium) fission device is exploded. Second the radiation from this explosion is used to ignite a fusion reaction in a structure of light elements (Hydrogen/Lithium). This produces a flood of high energy neutrons. Third, these high energy neutrons cause fission in the bomb casing and other structures made of "Depleted" Uranium 238. U238 doesn't produce the chain reaction possible with U235, Plutonium 239, (or U233). But when hit with a high energy neutron, the nucleus will fission. A neutron bomb is a small thermonuclear device that doesn't go through the third stage of operation, (as they use other materials for the radiation reflector). Their intended use was against tank formations in an armored invasion of Europe by the Soviet Union, and their effective range was about a kilometer. The various outputs of nuclear bomb drop off at different distances. And the size of the explosive determines the various effects. Neutron radiation is a short range effect. If you make the bomb too big, the blast effects will outweigh any prompt (neutron/x-ray/gamma) radiations. This is largely because the blast energy comes from the prompt radiation being absorbed by the material nearby the bomb. Build a bigger neutron bomb, and you've built a bigger blast bomb. end pedant mode So if you try to build a neutron bomb big enough to kill only the people in a city, there won't be a city left.

There is no sport in it when you bait him like this. You don't get to count coup for this one. However, congratulations on the one he quoted. You actually elicited a joke from him, albeit not a very good joke, but at least it breaks the monotony of the same old insults. |
