WASHINGTON, March 4, 2006 (AFP) - The United States has signaled its apparent abandonment of the goal of nuclear disarmament "for the foreseeable future" as it embarked on a quest for a new generation of nuclear warheads.

Although the term "nuclear disarmament" quietly disappeared from the Bush administration's vocabulary long ago, the statement by Linton Brooks, head the National Nuclear Security Administration, marked the first time a top government official publicly acknowledged a goal enshrined in key international documents will no longer be pursued.

"The United States will, for the foreseeable future, need to retain both nuclear forces and the capabilities to sustain and modernize those forces," Brooks stated Friday as he addressed the East Tennessee Economic Council in the city of Oak Ridge, which is home to a major nuclear weapons complex.

"The end of the Cold War did not end the importance of nuclear weapons," continued the chief steward of the US nuclear weapons program. "I do not see any chance of the political conditions for abolition arising in my lifetime, nor do I think abolition could be verified if it were negotiated."

1. And that's because...

...these people really are so crazy that they want to destroy the world. They, and their "enemies" are all so wrapped up in their twisted narcissism that they would rather make sure that the planet is uninhabitable forever than admit that my god is not better than your god. That's really what it boils down to.

Been nice knowing y'all!

3. And Il Douche helps India build more bombs...

"Peaceful power Plants"...

S'Yeah, so why is it when a country like Iran wants to build Nuke plants for power, we threaten to Rain Death(tm) down on them, but when you're faced with a country like India, who already HAS weapons, AND has been a bug-fart away from lobbing them at Pakistan, who ALSO has nukes, and they want MORE plants, we're all "Oh, they're gonna come 'into the family' and submit to inspections, so we're gonna give them Uranium for their Peaceful Purposes..."

Could it possibly be because India (as of yet, anyway) poses no threat to Israel?
