I'm Kinda Confused about Bush's Latest Strategy...

what a hypocrite

Published on November 23, 2004 By alison watkins In Politics

I saw on the news that President Bush was trying to get a bill passed to start building nuclear weapons. Wouldn't this make us look bad since we are trying to rid other places of weapons of mass destruction?

But then again...what do I know, I'm just a dumb college student.....

But how many nukes do you need? In all practicality, since no other countries have an operational missile shield

And you *know* this to be a fact, how?

No other countries who might attack us even have the technological capability to create a missile shield. Look at Iraq. They couldn't even get a plane in the air during the invasion, never mind shoot down 1500 incoming nuclear missiles. Just look at the difference in technology that caused the troops to prevail in Iraq. The Iraqi army (and most countries in the world that would ever wish harm on America) were using old Soviet hand-me-downs, while the American and British armies were using by far the most advanced military technology in the world. Besides, an all out nuclear attack could destroy the world with fallout and nuclear winter.

The reason that they couldn't get a plane in the air is because we were there with superior air power, no other reason. And again you don't know for a *fact* that no other country possesses the knowledge to build a missle sheild. What about the "Phalynx" systems? That doesn't take a genius to figure out. Just a really good computer programmer and the last I knew we didn't have a lock on them. And just an FYI, Iraq isn't the only one we would have to worry about.

This is *untrue*. Look at N. Korea, what we're worried about over there are NOT Russian hand-me downs.
