Bush's Latest Nuclear Catastrophe
Defense Secretary Robert Gates is demanding a full inventory of all U.S. nuclear weapons and materials. The announcement comes in the wake of the Pentagon's realization last week that four nuclear warhead fuses were mistakenly shipped to Taiwan in 2006. This is just the latest chapter in the Bush administration's mismanagement of nukes.
In "Failure to Launch" (January/February 2008), James Sterngold writes, "the real problem with Bush's nuclear policy...was simple neglect. From the dawn of the nuclear era more than six decades ago, every administration, whether in peaceful or violent times, has maintained a solemn focus on its policies for the only weapon that can end civilization. But not this one."

George Bush is "slow". He's simply not very bright...it's a shame Rove, Rumsfeld, Cheney, neo-conservatives and the Supreme Court engineered, and cohorted placing an absolutely unqualified person in the most powerful position in the world. A shame I tell you!
