For some balance.... Judeo-Christian Extremist Militants Hiding Nukes in USANeocon terrorist cells have been waging a global war of terror and error for the past 6 years; laying waste to entire countries; rolling back civil liberties, ravaging their own economy and instituting fascism in the heart of Empire and “full spectrum dominance” elsewhere; training and deploying brainwashed kids (or just poor kids with no other prospects in life, disproportionately drawn from less privileged backgrounds) and broadcasting their supremacist ideology of corporate greed and unlimited unsustainable consumerist entitlement in banal infotainment broadcast by the compliant, complicit mainstream media.
Ignoring the peaceful central tenets of the very religion they profess to follow (Thou Shall Not Kill! Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbour’s Land/ Oil/ Resources!) they whip up fear and hatred against mostly Muslim (not that Christians are exempt, especially in the oPt) brothers and sisters and contrive war against innocents.
Once, weapons were manufactured to sell for war. Now, wars are manufactured to sell weapons.
Paul Craig Roberts notes:
Neoconservatives have called for World War IV against Islam. In Commentary magazine Norman Podhoretz called for the cultural genocide of Islamic peoples. The war is already opened on four fronts: Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, and Iran.
The nukes they harbour in secret locations continue to proliferate. The Strategic Security Blog (a project of the Federation of American Scientists) reports that:
North Korea may have gotten all the attention, but all the nuclear weapon states were busy flight-testing ballistic missiles for their nuclear weapons during 2006. According to a preliminary count, eight countries launched more than 28 ballistic missiles of 23 types in 26 different events. … including the [USA's] 117th consecutive successful launch of the Trident II D5 sea-launched ballistic missile.
The busy ballistic missile flight testing represents yet another double standard in international security, and suggests that initiatives are needed to limit not only proliferating countries from developing ballistic missiles but also find ways to curtail the programs of the existing nuclear powers.
Strategic Security have also posted a valuable article on Where the Bombs Are (9 Nov 2006; appended below).
As he announced plans for a peace conference to create an international movement to criminalise war, former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir has recently said war criminals Bush and Blair should be tried. Ever wondered where all those nukes are stored? A new review published in the November/December issue of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists shows that the United States stores its nearly 10,000 nuclear warheads at 18 locations in 12 states and six European countries.
The highest concentration of nuclear warheads is at the Strategic Weapons Facility Pacific in Bangor, Washington, which is home to more than 2,300 warheads – probably the most nuclear weapons at any one site in the world. At any given moment, nearly half of these warheads are on board ballistic-missile submarines in the Pacific Ocean.
Approximately 1,700 warheads are deployed on Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines operating in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, and about 400 warheads are at eight bases in six European countries – Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey and Great Britain (for more information on U.S. warheads in Europe, go to http://www.nukestrat.com/us/afn/nato.htm). The United States is the only nuclear weapon state that deploys nuclear weapons in foreign countries.
Consolidation of U.S. nuclear storage sites has slowed considerably over the past decade compared to the period between 1992 and 1997, when the Pentagon withdrew nuclear weapons from 10 states and numerous European bases. Over the past decade, the United States removed nuclear weapons from three states – California, Virginia and South Dakota, and from one European country - Greece.
The overview finds that more than two-thirds of all U.S. nuclear warheads are still stored at bases for operational ballistic missiles and bombers, even through the Cold War ended more than 16 years ago. More than 2,000 of those warheads are on high alert, ready to launch on short notice. Only about 28 percent of U.S. warheads have been moved to separate storage facilities. The largest of these, an underground vault at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico, stores more than 1,900 warheads.
The 10 U.S. sites that currently host nuclear weapons are: the Strategic Weapons Facility Pacific, Bangor, Washington; Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada; Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming; Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico; Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana; Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota; Pantex Plant, Texas; Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana; Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri; and the Strategic Weapons Facility Atlantic, Kings Bay, Georgia.
