How About a Nice Game of Global Thermonuclear War?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the we-never-learn dept.

Loconut1389 writes "According to the Washington Post, the Pentagon has a revised doctrine to be signed in the next few weeks would give the president the authority for a preemptive nuclear strike. I would hope that this is a move designed to say we mean business and then never use it, but the means is there for mutual assured destruction."

    You know, why don't we just give a retarded chimpanzee the authority to authorize preemptive nuclear strikes, while we're at it?

    It would be an improvement over the current situation, at any rate.

    North Korea has no intention of attacking the US even if they could. Bush wants to nuke north korea just in case the republicans are down in the polls. 9/11 was the best thing to ever happen to Bush and he knows it. He is the war president, without a war he is just an incompetent, incoherent, religous fundamentalist fool.

    And don't forget to wait a few years and nuke the cities that will then fill up with evil men who irrationally hate the USA for killing their wives, sons, daughters, parents and housepets!

    Seriously, now - cynically using 9/11 for political gain... Iraq... Bleeding the army dry... Fucking the economy... New Orleans... Now seriously trying to restart the world-wide nuclear standoff for the sake of a bit of cock-waving.

    Just what does Bush actually have to do before you Americans fucking get rid of him for being an incompetent criminal madman? Inadvertantly show his nipple during the superbowl? Say "shit" in front of a small child?
