  Armageddon

  Xanthro-None of your "documentation" supports your utterly silly notion that the US can destroy all life on Earth

  30,000 bombs (your number) up to 100 megatons (5,000 times bigger than 20 kilotons) is an explosive yield up to 150,000,000 times greater than the bomb used to take out Hiroshima, a medium-size city (which you think was faked anyway).

  Perhaps I over-estimated your grade level education. Any average intelligence sixth-grader would understand that you can't take the largest of something and multiple it by the number to get the total of something.

  I think worms understand that basic concept.

  Again, no nuclear device in history has reached 100mt.

  No US device has reach 20mt.

  Yield is not linear to destructive capability.

  Hiroshima suffered 25% casualty rate. Life wasn't destroyed

  How much would be enough, neocon?

  How much to do what? Destroy the Earth, destroy life on Earth, Billions of times more nuclear devices might be able to destroy life on Earth.

  The point is, Palin could start up Armageddon with a lot less than that, couldn't she?

  -- Godot..

  1. No, contrary to popular opinion, the President cannot launch nuclear weapons, only initiate the process. It would have to be verified by SAC and one active launch site. In fact, three active silos could launch weapons on their own.

  2. Claiming Palin wants to start Armageddon is as stupid as arguing that Obama wants to kill all White people because his religions states that Jesus was Black and killed by Whites, and that Whites carry a special sin because of this act.

  Your argument is basically this, Palin is a Republican and thus shouldn't be President. It's stupid beyond measure.
