Rumsfeld asks for restoration of nuclear 'bunker buster' program

Wed Feb 2, 1:22 AM ET

WASHINGTON (AFP) - US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has asked for the restoration of a research program designed to create a new type of nuclear weapons capable of destroying hardened underground targets, a Pentagon official said.

The request came in a letter Rumsfeld sent to then-Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham on January 10, in which he insisted that funds for studying the feasibility of the Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator be restored.

But the following caught my eye.

"Bunker busters" are seen by some experts as important tools for waging preventive wars against enemies that are secretly building arsenals of weapons of mass destruction.

What the hell are "preventive wars"? It sure sounds like pre-emptive strikes which does not necessarily mean war. If you're secretly building an arsenal of WMDs, you're not at war. If you were at war you'd use your arsenal and it wouldn't be secret. So if I blow up your secret arsenal, I'm unilaterally declaring war on you. Gosh, that's sounds like I'm one mother of a bully. And if you're not secretly building an arsenal, well then you're a brutal dictator and I'm spreading Democracy and Freedom to your country!

This is our Government's policy! Bubba wants to make sure that we're Number One and stay there - King of the hill and death to those that approach. We will be the only one's with nukes and we will use them responsibly even if we have to use them to make everyone kowtow to us.

(You might want to build your fallout shelters - just in case)
