Reply #13: Why deal in hypotheticals? [View All]

[Q]

- Let's talk real world consequences. The fact remains that five Dems voted for restoring nuclear testing and a new generation of 'bunker busting' nukes. The US already has over 10,000 warheads in their arsenal. They already have a 'mini nuke'...but it's not the kind that GWB* and gang think they can use without consequences. These felons actually think they can penetrate a deep bunker with a several megaton 'bomb' without contaminating the area with radioactive aerosol and particulates. If recently history tells us anything...it's that the Bushies don't care about collateral damage. They've already killed tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children and haven't blinked an eye. They'll kill thosands more before we see an end to this insanity.

- Add 'usable' nuke weapons to the mix with a sociopathic, warmongering executive branch and you have the end of the world as we know it. This isn't hyperbole. The Bushies aren't going through the trouble of building these things just to put them on the shelf. They WANT to use them in their 'war on terrorism'. No more slow and bloody wars...just instant death and bones turned to dust. No mess. No worry. No more enemies of the state.

- The five Dems who voted for Bush's* madness and the four that didn't bother to show up know full well that the Bushies intend to use these weapons. They're either too stupid for the job or they're willfully ignoring the ramifications of bringing usable nukes into the battlefield equation. Or perhaps they agree with the Bush* doctrine but can't admit it for fear of losing votes?

- What a morally bankrupt party we've become if we can't admit it when some of our own have strayed to the 'other' side.
