Talking of the Sheriff, (see previous post) Rummy put on a great show up in Alaska, according to reports. He announced a plan to replace the nuclear warheads on some intercontinental ballistic missiles with conventional weapons for pre-emptive strikes against terrorists.
Rumsfeld said taking the nuclear warhead off the missiles would make them a less lethal and therefore more practical option for accurately and quickly targeting terrorist groups posing a lethal threat.
What is it they say? Don’t use force, get a bigger hammer!
Apart from blowing more US commercial flights out of the air, or killing more civilians then the Israelis managed, it is difficult to se the point of he plan.
Others are pondering the oversized six gun approach. Rumsfeld was in Alaska for a meeting with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Ivanov.
When reporters asked Sergei what he thought of the plan he said he had concerns. He favours different solutions for pre-emptive strikes, such as the use of intermediate-range missiles, now prohibited by a treaty.
I really can’t understand why they don’t just bog the enemy down in diplomatic talks. Let’s face it, the way industrialized countries are destroying the planet it’s only a matter of stalling them until there is nothing left to defend.
