Fighting Fire With Fire
31Mar06
â??Plans for a Pentagon-led experiment that involves detonating 700 tons of explosives in the desert drew criticism from state leaders and a disarmament activist.
The explosion scheduled for June 2 at the Nevada Test Site is part of an effort to design a weapon that can penetrate solid rock formations in which a country might store nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction. [source]â?
Hmm, why would the Pentagon need a bomb that is designed to penetrate solid rock formations in a country believed to be hiding nuclear weapons?
I think it’s ironic sometimes that we use weapons to fight weapons. Start a war to avoid a war. It’s like fighting fire with fire.
Why don’t we just use water?
