Gee, I wonder if you'd think the same way if the Party Affiliations of the last 2 Presidents had been reversed? Yes I would. There is nothing partisan about my statements or the motivation behind them. I'm just stating simple obvious facts. I'm not happy that Bush was not able to stop the program, but there wasn't a lot of good options to do so, and I doubt anyone else could have stopped it, at least not without enormous loss of life. Apparently, since you think their having 2 nukes inevitably led to 8 nukes, then you must figure we shouldn't worry at all about it because it will "inevitably" lead to them having 50 nukes and the delivery systems to hit US any time they would like. Absent shutting down the program 50 nukes is very likely. As for a delivery system that would reliably hit the US, that wouldn't be more of the same but would be an important additional capability.
