obama thinking about 80% reduction of Nukes

[Jauronimo]

Kind-of like how you're not uninformed if you can post a link to wikipedia...?

Wow, you're ignorant! I am way more informed than you. In fact, I have some stuff you should read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squirrel_Mating_Habits

You can modernize and reduce. See manufacturing.

 

 

Except thats not what he said;

 

President Obama promised Thursday to spend $80 billion over 10 years to maintain and modernize the nation’s nuclear arsenal, a commitment that could help win Republican support for his new arms control treaty with Russia.

 

You do not "maintain" your nuclear arsenal by reducing it 80%, certainly some reduction is necessary, but you cannot spin away the conflicting proposals here.

 

It doesn't really matter what he said anyway, it was all BS just to try and buy Senate votes.

"Maintain and modernize" means that they are going to do maintenance on the nukes...which means that they will blow the dust off.

"Maintaining" current force levels to get support for a treaty to reduce force levels?

 

Maybe you're using the wrong definition of "maintain"?
