    The U.S. maintains plans and contingencies for almost any imaginable scenario that may ever develop.

    I would be more alarmed to hear that there was no planning going on.

      Should we not have any plans for protection and retaliation?

      I would say such plans have been in place and modified for years.

      Lol, and this from that "fair and balanced" bastion of unbiased media, Macedoniaonline....lol.

      Please, do you HONESTLY think Russia, China, India, Packistan, Isreal, and any other nuclear nation does not have some kind of plan if they were to ACTUALLY USE their nukes? What do you think, they all would get together 10 mins before they needed to use them and say "hey, where are we sending these things anyway?"

      What a dumb, biased, mis-leading, typical "hate America", totally par for the course Libscape, liberal extremist post.

        I don't look at it as "hate America" I see it as "prepare America".

        Remember, we are entering our "last days."

        ...The end is near.

        Does that frighten anyone? No, we keep on with our day to day lives. So it is good to know that we should be prepared. Just think, if we do wind up using them, then surely, someone will agree that we were wrong and use theirs on us.

        Recently there was news of a tragedy in which a dog tore a little girl to pieces because the dog thought that the kid was trying to hurt its cubs which was not true. The dog was only hyper sensitive. It was put to rest.

            I read the artical, then the comments then I decided to read the artical again and I got a different view than some of the above comments.

            The idea of using small scale nuclear weapons as a battlefield weapon, the idea of using a nuclear weapon against an opponent that cannot be beaten by conventional weapons or the idea of using nuclear weapons against countries that attack our so called (friends) takes the idea of deterent completly out of picture.

            The adoption of a special case scenerio by the government of The US. will be the policy that will be adopted by all other nations that have or are developing nuclear weapons.

            There has been and always will be only one use for nuclear weapons and that is as a deterent anything else is a path to an all out destruction of our species.

              I was in the Air Force, 79 to 99, Missile Launch Officer. There were always contingency plans for use of nuclear weapons, in more a bi- and tri- polar world (Russia and China targets mainly). A WMD attack always was planned to be responded to with nukes, since we had eliminated most of our gas and bio weapons so that wasn't an option. BUT there were contingencies for battlefield first use of nukes in Europe if the USSR attacked and we couldn't stop them with conventional forces. My question is NOT why my Government is making plans and preparing for different contingencies. To not do so is imprudent to the point of dereliction of duty. No, my question is how a SECRET report on our national security plans is presented to Congress on Friday....and appears in the LA times by the Weekend. This is treasonous!

                sstnt- This is just a guess to your question but since congress is both democrats and republicans some members may be trying to affect public opinion. I sort of agree with you though if it is a secret document realeasing it for any reason should be looked at as a security violation.

                  Releasing a document classified as SECRET or TOP SECRET (my guess is it was TOP SECRET) for political reasons is just as bad as releasing it for money...it is for personal gain. There are laws against this, unfortunately not used often enough.

                  If they want the information out there in the public, they need to get it reclassified. The only person that can do that "on the fly" so to speak is the President.
