US rewrites nuke laws to allow for pre-emptive strikes

[CptStern]

Pentagon document would alter nuclear weapons plan

"According to the document, combatant commanders could request approval from the president to use nuclear weapons under a variety of scenarios, such as to pre-empt an enemy's use of weapons of mass destruction against the United States, multinational or alliance forces or civilian populations.

Commanders could seek approval to use nuclear weapons in the face of an enemy's imminent biological weapons attack that "only effects from nuclear weapons can safely destroy," the document said."



so in other words had this doctrine been in place prior to march 2003 Iraq might actually look a little bit like this

 

[Murray]

Egad! :O

 

[Lemonking]

better them then us

 

[Tr0n]

Better you then them and us.

Hopefully a nuke will land on you lemon. Then I will come along and stab you in the eye with a pencil (If you aren't vaporized already).

 

[Lemonking]

I know your joking

 

[Tr0n]

I'm not.

 

[Lemonking]

Oh yes you are joking

 

[bliink]

Oh good... so when cold war II starts with Russia or China, we're all gonna be killed in a horrible nuclear holocaust.

See Dr. Strangeglove for more info on how this will happen.

[Sulkdodds]

Well.......shit.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

I'm not.

This man never kids around.

 

[Mechagodzilla]

Oh hell no

 

[Ren.182]

....unless you dont happen to be in the epicentre of the blast ..oh wait you're american ...never mind

better them then us

fool, with nukes everyone is affected

 

[Mechagodzilla]

The question is now how long it'll be before Iran or (more likely) NK are nuked, I guess.
Frig, it's a new cold war already.

 

[Ren.182]

The trouble is, if America launches, so does the rest of the world. Thats a lot of nukes flying about he place.

Why do we invent such horrible weapons?

 

[Dr. Freeman]

its all slowly coming together for WW3 :|
it'll take one dumbass to start things off

One Dumbass

 

[Sulkdodds]

This does not bode well. In fact it positively bodes ill.

 

[kirovman]

It'll be the innocents that suffer, again.

 

[Mr-Fusion]

Well we can only hope there's a civil uprising in the U.S to remove the goons from power. When the U.S government starts beating the war drum again "North Korea has WMD" , "Iran has WMD" blah blah, then it will be go time. Storm the whitehouse with guns blazing.

 

[kirovman]

Or, vote them out of office.

 

[VictimOfScience]

Wahay!! We're all gonna die in a nuclear winter...

:|

A great song brought to us by Sodom.

A morbid reality brought to us by warmongers.

Scary news, but nothing anyone who grew up during the Cold War should be super-surprised by, especially given the state of world affairs and US foreign policy.

DISCLAIMER: I know the movie doesn't involve nuclear holocaust, but you get the idea.

 

[Absinthe]

Awesome! We're one step closer to a nuclear war! Let me get my camera.

 

[mortiz]

Well, I'm going to die sometime, so going with the rest of the world doesn't seem so bad. At least I'll get to see it :E !

 

[Sulkdodds]

I love blood and violence! I got a boner for murder!

we could use a smalll one, If we need to

 

[kirovman]

we could use a smalll one, If we need to

Using a small one won't stop someone from lobbing a nuke back at you.

 

[CptStern]

we could use a smalll one, If we need to

radiation doesnt care about size








and what kirovman said

 

[Lemonking]
