Former US Secretary of
Defense Joins PCR In Warning Of Nuclear Armageddon Risk
I have been warning
that the crazed neocons and their two-bit puppet, president obama, are leading,
with the assistance of the presstitute media, the world back to the prospect of
nuclear armageddon. A former Secretary of Defense agrees with me.
Wake up! Constrain the
insane US government, or life on earth is over.
Former Defense Secretary Warns US is Pushing
Towards Nuclear Apocalypse

The United States
is on the brink of a new nuclear arms race that will elevate the risk of
nuclear apocalypse to Cold War levels, former Secretary of Defense William
Perry warned on Thursday.
Perry, who
from 1994 to 1997 served as Pentagon chief under President
Bill Clinton, delivered his remarks at an event hosted by the Defense
Writers Group
"We're now
at the precipice, maybe I should say the brink, of a new nuclear arms
race," he said. "This arms race will be at least
as expensive as the arms race we had during the Cold War, which
is a lot of money."
The Pentagon is
starting a major overhaul of its nuclear triad, made up of bomber,
submarine and intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) nuclear options. Perry
called for the breaking of the triad by dismantling the ICBM
stockpile.
ICBMs, he said,
"aren't necessary … they're not needed. Any reasonable definition
of deterrence will not require that third leg."
In an August
assessment, the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments projects
that it will cost more than $700 billion over the next 25 years
to recapitalize the nuclear triad.
Perry said spending
that money is foolish considering the United States is both short of cash
for other programs and capable of a robust nuclear deterrence
already, Defense News reported.
The risk
of nuclear war is exacerbated by the deterioration of the
relationship between Moscow and Washington that had been formed
after the fall of the Soviet Union. Without clear
military-to-military communication between those two nations, the risk
of an accidental conflict increases, Perry said.
"Today – probably
I would not have said this 10 years ago – but today we now face the kind
of dangers of a nuclear event like we had during the Cold
War, an accidental war," he said.
"I see an
imperative: to stop this damn nuclear arms race from accelerating
again."
