Such bomb doesn't need to be nuclear, chemical, or biological in nature. The advantage of such a weapons system is to be able to bomb a target anywhere in the world at a moments notice, without the need for a nearby airbase, missile base, or large naval vessel.<BR/><BR/>Of course, it would be naive to think that the US wouldn't use such a system to mount nuclear warheads. Especially since the US military is also keen to develop smaller, tactical nuclear weapons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-1143292066688470492006-03-25T08:07:00.000-05:002006-03-25T08:07:00.000-05:00I don't see Penny's point when he tries to draw a ...I don't see Penny's point when he tries to draw a distinction between generic weapons in space, versus "nuclear" weapons and weapons of mass destruction. If you already accept that nuclear weapons and WMDs are banned, what's left?<BR/><BR/>Realistically, what other kinds of weapons does Penny think are still viable? Catapults? Really big crossbows? Herring fired at high velocity? What?<BR/><BR/>Penny really is making an ass of himself by desperately trying to draw a distinction where no real distinction exists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-1143246412488900862006-03-24T19:26:00.000-05:002006-03-24T19:26:00.000-05:00Of course, we can't forget the Nuclear Non-Prolife...Of course, we can't forget the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.<BR/><BR/>Bush gives nuclear technology to a non-signing nation (India) and threatens a signing nation (Iran) if they don't dismantle their nuclear program completely.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03203592149876300192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-1143225476320035292006-03-24T13:37:00.000-05:002006-03-24T13:37:00.000-05:00The higher the bar, the easier it is to slither un...The higher the bar, the easier it is to slither under.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
