How About a Nice Game of Global Thermonuclear War?
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."
My original submission was early this morning and also had a few extras like "Doesnt anybody remember the W.O.P.R.?
A preemptive nukular strike, sir.
TLoM: Nerds + DDR + Rednecks for the win!
As long as no other country builds an automatic retaliation system without telling us. I wonder where that idea would come from?
Comment forecast: Bits of genius surrounded by a sea of mediocrity.
you know, I think I saw some shifty looking Arab type (they all look the same, and are evildoers, arent they?) hanging around Crawford and Cheney's new multi-million dollar house. I recommend we pre-emptively nuke those two sites, just in case. I think I even saw some WMD around there! I have satellitely photos proving all this!
Is this really necessary? Can't we just threaten to place our enemies under the protection of FEMA? That seems to achieve the mass casualty effect just fine, and yet the environmental mess it creates will only take a few decades to clear...

Probably. It's never a good idea to give people who think the end of the world would be a good thing the means to end the world.
We all very well may die because a fucking cult wants to bring about the events in their "revalations." AN ACID TRIP IN A BOOK FULL OF FAIRY TALES.
Although, if we go like that then our extinction may well be for the best . . . . .
It was a project funded by DARPA. These "shells" are fired from a mobile walking tank's rail guns. Theoretically, it could fire a nuke that is untracable and therefore cannot be stopped.
Summary : Metal Gear?!?
May we can stump bush with Tic Tac Toe. He'll realize he can never win!

[Insert pithy quote here]
I have heard rumors that authority to use atomic shells was (to be) vested in field commanders, possibly as low as the regiment level.
I think the lowest level for authorizing nuclear attacks should be Air Force Colonels, provided that their bodily fluids are pure.
Gentlemen, gentlemen! You can't fight in here! This is the war room!

The Pentagon only gave gave him exactly what he asked for: the capability to order a "nucular" first strike.
Can anyone tell me how to set my sig on Slashdot?
