Obama to call for elimination of all nuclear weapons

[MaggieMae]

do you have a clue how STUPID that statement of his was?
do you REALLY think UNPROVEN systems get deployed?

They get FUNDED, though. How many billions went into Reagan's "Star Wars" or Bush 41's Super Collider before they realized it was being built on a giant fire ant hill?

if you dont fund them through testing phase, how do you know they are proven?


then i suppose you would stop all funding of any research into unproven things
right?

I think you're getting hung up on symantics. There are many big ticket Pentagon items that have failed test after test, yet get continued funding. THOSE are the items Obama was talking about, and in fact Gates proposed eliminating some just yesterday.

And kindly don't put words in my mouth. I never even hinted that "ALL funding should be stopped." ABM programs will obviously continue. But the missiles don't need nuclear warheads if and when nuclear nonproliferation occurs.
