Retired General: Republicans Making Nuclear Terrorism More Likely (AUDIO) | TPMDC

"A retired Army general is taking to the radio to call out leaders of the Republican party for making it more likely we'll be blown up by a terrorist's nuclear bomb.

Lt. Gen. Robert Gard is the star of a series of radio ads targeting Republican leaders in the House and Senate for supporting "deep cuts to the U.S. Government's signature nuclear security program to remove highly enriched uranium and other dangerous nuclear materials from countries in the former Soviet Union and other unstable regions around the world."

Gard is a veteran of the Vietnam and Korean wars and a top official at Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, a nonpartisan group (with center-left lean) focused on reducing the spread of nuclear weapons and other threats.

The Center and its sister group, the Council For A Livable World, say the House budget bill cuts $551 million from the White House's request for the Energy Department's National Nuclear Security Administration. As a result, the groups say, the likelihood of a nuclear terrorist attack will go up. President Obama has requested $2.7 billion be sent to the NNSA in the 2011 budget."

Google the name, you'll find a long history of activism for the Democratic Party and Bashing Republicans from this retired Officer. He defended Gen Wesley Clark in the Daily Kos. He bashed John Mckane in the Huffington Post and told everyone he was voting for Obama. Signing anti-war petitions, etc. Knowing the reputation Clark held with his fellow General Corp, I suspect Gard may be held in the same low regard, but I don't know that.

BUT, like Clark, and McClellan in the civil war, they were the exception, NOT the rule, and vocally attacked the majority and the oppossition held them up as the rule and trumpetted them, and they lost.

nhboy, tomorrow will we see a biased article posted about how Conservative use scare tactics? I'm sure you won't blink, despite posting a scare story that Republicans are going to cause a Nuclear Terrorist attack if they dare cut the budget.

Me too. It took 'em a while to reach a compromise on how many of us would have to die versus how much money was saved.

Just don't draw the short straw, is all I gotta say.

nhboy has veterans on this board tell him how wrong he is on a daily basis, been factually shown how baseless his claims and sources are on a daily basis. BUT, he finds one Veteran that agrees with him, oh suddenly there is no one of greater credibility, how could anyone dispute it?

What a shill

I'm still steamed about the Republicans still NOT getting back to their principles, and this is a perfect example.

They had a perfect opportunity to put into the deal, that our own Military-Industrial Complex would build the weapons for the terrorist, after all if Americans are going to do die, they should die by the highest quality American made bomb, and sell it to the Terrorist for the profits to go back straight to the treasury. Big Oil Corporations were waiting in the wings, using finicial derivatives to cut out the middle man and finiance the development themselves.

It was Win-Win!

But our wishy washy Republicans said that went to far, and drew the line at the terrorist having to build and detonate the bombs themselves.

Maybe with a little more deregulation we can get to the point of building the bombs for the terrorist, wadda U think?
