Cancel The Divine Strake!!!

If the Divine Strake is cancelled would it stop or deter a Bush administration attack on nuclear sites in Iran?

1. No, he'll just use conventional bunker busters to blow up the entrances to underground facilities.
In fact, if a violent military confrontation occurs and I were forced into choosing between nuke bunker busters and regular busters, I'd seriously recommend regular ones to anybody in charge to minimize civilian casualties downwind due to radiation poisoning. Of course, if it came to that, the political and economic consequences would likely render the United States as a pariah state feared as much as the USSR was.

4. If the 700 ton bomb is exploded, it sure would
stir up a lot of radioactive dust from the former tests of the 50's through 70s and put the Downwinders in more jeopardy. I guess Bush could not care less about the health and welfare of his citizens.

What an insensitive klutz!!!

6. My e-mail expressing my disapproval at the potential test
keeps saying the server is not accepting it. Hmm... sent to divinestrake@nv.doe.us

"This test -- to be conducted at the taxpayer's expense -- is detrimental to those same taxpayer's health. The fallout from this potential course of action has deadly ramifications. I do not sanction this event, and suggest that the severity of health problems emanating from such a test, do NOT benefit the American people. Do not subject the people funding the DOE to this "experiment". We, as a people, deserve better consideration from our government.

With sincere gravity,"

Guess they didn't want to hear the message.
:mad:
