Nuclear Weapons scare me....

This is a nuclear weapon. This is a nuclear weapon that is going to be hugely destructive and destructive over a large area. No sane person would use a weapon like that lightly, and I regret any impression that anybody, including me, has given that would suggest that this is going to be any easier a decision. I mean if this weapon were in the arsenal right today it would still be a hugely difficult decision for any president to even contemplate it. So I -- the administration believes and I personally believe this study should continue but it -- I want too -- I do want to make it clear that any thought of sort of nuclear weapons that are not really destructive is just nuts.

Ambassador Linton Brooks....March 2, 2005 on funding for the Robust Nuclear Penetrator.

Why does this administration and Rumsfeld feel we need this kind of a new "Nuclear Bunker Buster"? Because we obviously don't have enough weapons right now to blow bunkers that are created in hard ground. That said the millions already spent on weapons like this? Scares me because I agree with Brooks....no sane person should use a weapon like that.......

Why today? Because the report on funding for this weapon was just released to
