I wonder who is going to make money off of this? As the story points out, we have enough hydrogen bombs now. And they will work if we need them. What the story fails to mention is that we don't need them. We have no looming conflicts with nuclear states. The conflicts we face currently are not even against organized states. We have no good targets to nuke. Even with our conventional bombs, we keep killing civilians. Even if we had a target to hit, we have enough weaponry to bomb half the ...

To insist on this would truly prove that we are the greatest nation.

Scaremongering - keep this in perspective - the US is spending $177M per DAY in Iraq (according to the billboard in Times Square I pass every day!) and someone is worried about $118/year for upkeep? A little maintainence on 50-year old technology isn't a bad thing - Chernobyl anyone? This article shifts halfway into an assesment of the effect of a US military action on the Iranian nuclear policy????
