GOOD, gets support even though the people involved sound schizoid...

President Barack Obama is seeking increased funding for nuclear weapons research and security programs next year, even as his administration promotes nonproliferation and has pledged to reduce the world's stockpile of nuclear arms.
The administration on Monday asked Congress for more than $7 billion for activities related to nuclear weapons in the budget of the National Nuclear Security Administration, an increase of $624 million from the 2010 fiscal year.

NNSA Administrator Thomas D'Agostino defended putting more money into the programs, saying the U.S. needs the best nuclear weapons facilities, scientists, technicians and engineers as it moves toward eventual disarmament.

Anyone else think D'Agostino is cracked? That's not much money, but I expected cuts. The real import here is the hard recognition that a world without nuclear weapons IS a world which will have a world war. A cynic's recognition. They cannot reject the idea that they have to have a world without nukes so 'the children' don;t have to live in fear., but what they do tells all. Our warheads are probably approaching 30 years old. You can't just leave the things.
