New Nuke Weapon Epitomizes Bush Hypocrisy

In an act of sheer hypocrisy and utter stupidity, the Bushies have advocated the development of a new 300 kiloton nuclear device capable of penetrating Earth's crust to destroy underground installations. This "small" nuke is to be designed to be "easier to use" by soldiers in the field. (more...)

The Bushites and the global media have consistently attacked Iran and North Korea for their nuclear programs, and didn't we invade Iraq based on the lie that they were developing a nuclear weapon? Thus the current adminstration are not only a pack of liars, they are also hypocrites.

On the Senate floor yesterday, Senator Kennedy introduce an amendment that would shut down funding for this program. Currently defense appropriations are set at over $4 million for a feasibility study, and the Department of Energy is getting half a billion for development. An earlier amendment to stop this stupidity, with almost exactly the same wording, was introduced by Senator Feinstein 3 weeks ago and was defeated.

I believe the neo-conservatives are the most serious threat to life on this planet. How many more people have to die before Americans begin to seriously doubt our government?

We know they stole the election in Ohio, we know they invaded Iraq for false reasons, we know that top officials have committed treason, we know that they have plans to start more wars like Iraq. We know they have consistently lied about global warming. We know that their environmental policy is being written by greedy lobbyists who care nothing about the health of the citizens of this country. How can we sit back and allow them to develop a new nuclear device that will most assuredly be used in what is arguably an unwinnable war on Muslim extremism?
