Fact is stealth technology or new "pie-in-sky" technology is not needed. The existing billion-dollar Navy Trident II system was specifically designed to have piercing accuracy capable of "hitting a dime" thousands of miles away. Furthermore there is no capable hostile Anti-ballistic missile (ABM) system that would thwart our re-entry systems, so why "stealth em". Bottom line, there is no Air Force requirement for stealth technology or otherwise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-37973866448589613462008-12-20T12:57:00.000-07:002008-12-20T12:57:00.000-07:00"Many experts have argued..."

She is probably the most knowledgeable and supportive dem in the House (and maybe all of congress) on nuclear weapons and strategic defense issues. A few years ago when the dems were redistricting she fought hard to keep LLNL in her district - which explains its strange shape. She really pissed off Pelosi in the process. Tauscher badly wants the Chairmanship of the House's Armed Services Committee, but her battle with Pelosi has killed this for now. If you haven't noticed Pelosi does not respond kindly to "women" of the California delegation who could be seen as potential rivals for power. <BR/><BR/>Tauscher has a staffer dedicated to LLNL issues and an "open door" policy for the Lab's Director. Unfortunately for LLNL, she explicitly said in meeting with LLNL employees last year that she will not be parochial when it comes to LLNL - unlike Saint Pete and LANL. I'd speculate that she would be very happy to see NNSA moved out of DOE and to the Defense Dept. This would give her subcommittee direct sole oversight of it, instead of the current split jurisdiction with the House's Committee on Energy and Commerce that oversees DOE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-50823775879311485012008-12-19T23:14:00.000-07:002008-12-19T23:14:00.000-07:00"you'll be dead.

(5:36 PM)<BR/><BR/>By having uninformed citizens elect them to office, how else? <BR/><BR/>Tauscher's work on this matter is almost done. Soon enough, her valiant efforts at weakening American's strategic defenses will have payed off. She'll then be able to move on to 'fixing' other big problems, like saving the spotted wooley-wart minnow from extinction.<BR/><BR/>Given the short sighted views of most Congressional members, I have little hope that this country will make it intact into the 22nd century. <BR/><BR/>Being weak on strategic defense is not a smart way to avoid future wars. Imagine a future conflict in 2030 with Russia in which we must stand up to them using an ancient arsenal of strategic weapons that are over 60 years old. That would be like standing up to a strong adversary today using strategic weapons from WWII! Do you really want to base the future survival of America on ancient and decrepit strategic weaponry?<BR/><BR/>China, Russia, France, UK, India, Israel and Pakistan all heavily support their nuclear weapons complex and want to keep it in tip top shape. They are very proud of their complex and the people who make it possible. Meanwhile, back here in America, we have decided to let our weapons complex starve for funding and die off with neglect. Congress acts like they are embarrassed by the very fact that the US even own nuclear bombs. Someday soon, our inaction in this area may prove very costly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-87743749610873788352008-12-19T20:08:00.000-07:002008-12-19T20:08:00.000-07:00Deep down I believe that Tauscher doesn't want nuc...Deep down I believe that Tauscher doesn't want nuclear weapons at all. But her district includes LLNL so she has to tap dance around the issue. Feinstein and Boxer aren't going to support the lab much and you can forget about Pelosi. At least LANL had St. Pete.<BR/><BR/>There is an adage in dealing with guns:<BR/><BR/>The two loudest sounds are bang when it was supposed to go click, and click when it was supposed to go bang.<BR/><BR/>Take the high road, ignore the stockpile and believe everything will last forever and you will get that gun adage on a much larger scale.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-57674903687323682652008-12-19T17:36:00.000-07:002008-12-19T17:36:00.000-07:00Good gravy is Tauscher really that stupid?

A redesigned warhead that has exactly the same military capabilities as the old warhead [ i.e RRW ] is steeped in controversy.
