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

Evan McMorris-Santoro



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.

1. An occurance of nuclear terrorism in this country is more likely to be done by

a Christo-Facist right winger. Another McVeigh.

They'll use it to try to make Obama look bad, and then blame it on Muslims.

Stir up some real Islamaphobia.

I put nothing past them anymore.

2. I put nothing past the Republicons, Kochs,and FOX GOP anymore as well.

I believe a new day is dawning however, with the attack by the radical right Governors pushing to bust Unions and unlawfully pushing through draconian policy, the masses are awakening. Thank you for your post, I sadly believe you are right.
