OLDER ATOMIC BOMBS

Every time we agree to limit our atomic bombs, we get rid of older bombs. This time the US/Russia treaty to limit atomic bombs contains a provision to fund replacing even more of the old bombs.

I have been assured that our old atomic bombs are perfectly safe. Call me paranoid, but I think that atomic bombs with all of the very latest safely equipment would make ME feel safer.

Republicans believe that more of the older atomic bombs are better that somewhat fewer new, spiffy atomic bombs.

Under the new treaty, both the US and Russia will each have 1550 atomic bombs.

While we are building new atomic bombs, more formally called nuclear bombs, we should insure that any and all computer chips used in the bombs have been designed and manufactured by people who have US security clearances.

Of course, we will not have the safer, new bombs because the Republicans, especially Senator Kyl from Arizona, refuse to ratify the treaty which will fund the safer bombs.

If you decide to call your Senator about this, the treaty is called the START treaty.
