Is BushCo Stockpiling Nukes for The Rapture?

[FlashHarry]

According to this article in Slate, the government is on a nuclear spending spree. I'm wondering if anyone thinks they're planning on using them Plain of Meggido in Israel, AKA Armageddon. :tinfoilhat:

(By the way, I'm not prone to wearing tinfoil; this is really just a conversation starter...)

1. He plans to nuke us if we vote him out of office.

2. I hope they're not planning on going anywhere

as a result of "the rapture".

3. Carnack the Magician!

The photo of Bush, above, it's Johnny Carson's Carnack act sans turban! "Ah, 144,000 souls ascend to heaven" ... then George "Carnack" rips open the envelop and reads, "What happens after I illegally invade Iraq?" Then the applause sign flashes on and the good brethren chortle and snicker on cue... yes, Carnack I tell you!

(On edit, fix misstatement ... I have no timing either when I tell a joke out loud!)

4. would those be

weapons of mass destruction?

I could never figure out why some countries could have a means to protect themselves, but not others...

I guess Im just not a bright as the politicians

5. Bingo!

Yep. Israel and the US are the only countries, apparently, that are allowed to have WMD in the Middle East.

6. Remember this?

"A quick survey would have to be made of all the available mine sites in the country. But I would guess... that ah, dwelling space for several hundred thousands of our people could easily be provided. Deciding who lives there could easily be accomplished with a computer. And a computer could be set and programmed to accept factors from youth, health, sexual fertility, intelligence, and a cross section of necessary skills. Of course it would be absolutely vital that our top government and military men be included to foster and impart the required principles of leadership and tradition. Naturally, they would breed prodigiously, eh? There would be much time, and little to do. But ah with the proper breeding techniques and a ratio of say, ten females to each male, I would guess that they could then work their way back to the present gross national product within say, twenty years."

Heavy underground blasting at Cheney's home, and Condi referring to Bush as "my husband"...I know I've drawn my conclusions.

7. Where did you get that?

It sounds suspiciously like the Hossbach Memorandum, with the 'Deutsch/Aryan' need to expand 'living space' at the expense of the Untermenschen...

or, How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.

I gotta go see if my local Hollywood video has a copy of that.........

8. why bother . . .

the US already has over 7000 warheads, with about 2500 active and ready to fly within minutes. Do you need more?!?

Russia has sightly more, but poorer control over them.

. . . just one itchy trigger finger and the rapture will be here.

Friggin great. Sleep tight.

9. there's no doubt in my mind that BushCo plan to use nukes . . .

during their second term . . . they've already contaminated a huge portion of Iraq with depleted uranium, are ordering up new and improved tactical nukes, and still have the arsenal of strategic nukes that has been around for decades . . . mark my words . . . a second Bush administration will be marked by the first use of nuclear weapons in war since Hiroshima and Nagasaki . . .

10. Why wait?

I think if things get really bad for W's reselection chances, he'll nuke something even sooner. That way they can have an excuse to cancel the election and maintain their grip on power.
