Non-Nuclear Trident Missiles
Worst idea ever. Do we expect an enemy to wait for one of these missiles to land to find out if the warhead is nuclear or non-nuclear?
And, more troublingly, these nuclear missile subs represent the "dead hand" response of the Mutual Assured Destruction US nuclear preemption strategy. Part of their preventative value is that potential enemies are unable to locate them meaning that destroying the US's nuclear response capability is virtually impossible, thus nullifying the value of an enemy's first strike.
And, we're going to reveal the location of these most critical defense assets to launch the equivalent of a cruise missile strike? Worst idea ever.

And what? You expected a GOOD idea from this administration?

I know, I know, but I'm occasionally surprised at just how SPECTACULARLY bad some of them are.

This proposal has been around awhile. I reported on Arkin reporting on it several months ago. It is the stupidest fucking idea on the planet. Yet, only now is it starting to get some legs in the MSM. I'm not sure how "stoppable" it is, but it's an issue worth pursuing to stop imo.

Front page NYTimes. Probably it's because the proposal finally made it out of the Pentagon and to the Congress and that's what generated this flurry.

About damned time.....
A smart journalist would take about an hour per day and read some key blogs. If you were a Pentagon writer, wouldn't you be reading Arkin daily? I know it would take away from important things like looking at Judy Miller's legs. But hey, it might help them do the job.
By Greyhair, at 1:32 PM
Judy's legs aren't what they once were.
Plus, I think the big media folks are split on blogs. You have some of them, some of the newer folks, Olberman or Schuster or vandehei, or Milbank, who quite evidently use them as starting points, but I think there's an institutional bias against them in alot of newsrooms. That "we work so hard and are so great, these little outsiders don't know anything."
I also think there's a bit of a fear of being called partisan as most blogs have a strong slant.
I really do think it's important that blog stuff is fully checked before hitting the mainstream, but I also think that they should use the blogs as stringers. Basically, bloggers offer a free to the big boys, thousands of eyes looking over all the reports and laws coming out of government, first hand accounts of politicians, etc.
I think that it offers a competitive advantage to those who use blogs as story ideas so slowly, you'll see more and more of it. Although, I'd bet an admission of the practice will probaly come far later.

This is obviously a deliberate Pentagon ploy release (it's propaganda in other words). Can't you guys see this?
Come on, think about it. In 1983, we were loading conventional MIRV's onto Trident missiles. If you're aware of what the Deak Parsons Center in Norfolk VA is all about, then you know exactly what I am talking about here.
You guys are falling for it - just as the pentagon wants - but mainly, they want Ahmadinejad (sic) to believe it too.

Anonymous, I certainly wouldn't rule that out, but in the case of Iran, for instance, what would this serve?
We've got missile destroyers in the gulf as near as subs could get. So, there's no real difference in reponse/strike times. Is it to try to put them off attacking the destroyers? But this isn't even deployed, it's development funding.
I'm more than willing to go with you here, but I need a little more exposition. I don't know about the Deak Parsons Center.
I just don't see how this would concretely affect Iran's calculations. Help me.

in easy words, every weapon is a bad thing never should be in use. i do not see fights against the usa in real and the bombs never build are the best use of american money to do better than destruction around the globe and inside of the usa. the rocky horror pictures of ww3 was a possible thought made to look at, how bad future bombs could be. in 1969 nobody would belive bombs like tsar, trinity or whatever will come in future days. i do wonder, how much problems there are around, to feed the world or make it a dreamable place everywere
without biological or psychologic weapons in use. who cares about a atomic bomb if modern defence does be unable to stop it while it fly and before it destroys? mike deak

Very simply the Deak Parsons center is a training facility for Nuclear weapons systems. I attended school there.
