I just found that story on Yahoo.
I'm curious to know some more opinions about this.
Thanks
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

At the rate they are being updated, we don't need to increase their numbers. Fact is we still have enough to flatten every major city on the planet with a few left over.

Ambivalence to some degree, because I don't think much will change due to this. But overall it seems rational to reduce the amount of nuclear weaponry that we have ready to go. Humans are still a bit too panicky to remain sane while neighbors have a stockpile of weapons. And that goes for all humans.
And obviously, if I were to pander to your views, judging by your avatar and alias, I would say "It's terrible! We need as many nukes as we can so that we can annihilate those god damn Iranian terrorists and all the pinko libs that will soon be joining their cause!!!!!!"

They are learning.
1) One of these days someone can steal the warheads and its possible;
2) Maybe they want to impress Russia who has just tested
the Vaccum bomb which is ten times powerful than any nuclear bomb ever made; or
3) Maybe they found some AlQueda men hanging out near the war heads.
GOD BLESS THE NUKEs

Whats the big deal? We have already paid millions for stronger weapons that we'll have to pay the same companies who built them, billions to dismantle them in another decade.
All that is going on, is both countries are dismantling the nukes as defined under the treaty, but building new, more powerful ones that aren't defined under the treaty.
=new arms race and win win situation for weapons manufacturers.

"The House stripped away money for the replacement warhead program from the Energy Department's upcoming budget, while the Senate agreed to only partially fund the program."
We've squandered trillions of dollars on these weapons. It's time to stop wasting our money on things we will never use.

A serious question? I'm shocked!
Ok. We shouldn't dismantle our nukes any faster than the Russians do. If we have an agreement to reduce our stocks than fine, but we meet our goal only when they meet theirs, no sooner. We can't allow a nuke gap to grow between us.

They say that the war heads are no longer necessary. Frankly I don't believe this reason. They may be old or they may just be doing it for storage so the terrorists won't steal them I D K but
since it's the government doing it, we should be weary.
