[Gerry Blackwood]

Right they were the same trucks that Powell spoke about at the UN...ah.....someone please show me some EVIDENCE besides artist conceptions..... We have been overflying Iraq for the last twelve years our RC135s, EP3E and some of our other platforms are quiet extraordinary.... Oh yea thats right protect sources and methods.....same old excuse for not having any actionable intil.....BTW how come we supposedly knew but did zip about it.... Oh yes we did not want a international incident in a war zone.....

Spoken like a true Northrop Grumman employee.........we need the B61s in Europe like we need a hole in our heads.....what our AGM-129s, AGM86s and 69's can't handle matters??

Why stop at Europe, I think we should remove all U.S. nuclear weapons from the world including the U.S. That way only peace-loving nations like Iran and N. Korea will have nuclear weapons. The world will then be a lot safer place.

U.S. Nuclear Weapons in Europe 
A review of post-Cold War policy, force levels, and war planning. 

---------------------------------
This February 2005 NRDC paper pieces together evidence from an array of sources to show that the United States is still deploying 480 nuclear weapons in Europe. Until now, most observers believed there were no more than half that many still left on the continent. The continuing presence of these weapons irritates relations with Russia, undermines global efforts to dissuade other nations from developing nuclear weapons, and impedes NATO's post-Cold War evolution. The Bush administration and the NATO alliance should address this issue as a matter of global nuclear security and remove all U.S. nuclear weapons from Europe.
