Maybe Rumsfeld can get the terrorists and North Koreans to hide in our missle silos, then when the star wars weapons blow up it will get them.

APOCALYPSE SOON
By Robert S. McNamara
Former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara is worried. He knows how close the world has come to nuclear catastrophe, and he believes that the United States’ continued reliance on nuclear weapons poses a deadly threat. Far from reducing the risk of disaster, the Bush administration is keeping the U.S. nuclear arsenal as a mainstay of its military power. McNamara argues the United States must no longer rely on nuclear weapons as a foreign-policy tool. To do so is immoral, illegal, and dreadfully dangerous.

Reminds me of Bush's historic strategic arms treaty with the Russians. Historic in the sense that a country could increase it's weapons inventory above the limits and never be in violation of the treaty. Also historic in the sense that it completely abandoned any notion of verification. Wonder how that's going?
