Message-ID: <197@cepu.UUCP> Date: Sat, 3-Mar-84 09:37:50 EST Article-I.D.: cepu.197 Posted: Sat Mar 3 09:37:50 1984 Date-Received: Sun, 4-Mar-84 09:04:53 EST Organization: VA Wadsworth Med. Center, LA CA Lines: 22 Yesterday, while driving home from work I heard a news report that Hart and Mondale are now trying to out 'dove' each other. The point of contention was that Mondale accused Hart of not supporting the nuclear freeze. The most worrying part to me was that Sen. Hart said 'If I am elected ... I'll cancel the B1B and the MX missile system'. I have just one question for him, or for his supporters on the net. When the B-52 G/H models that we are currently using wear out (they are literally falling apart right now) what are we going to use as the Airborn leg of our Nuclear defense (that's another thing that we have to thank the Democrats for, MAD) and what are we going to do about the fact that the MM3 Missiles are also nearing the end of their usefull lives? Is he going to replace them with a crash program at a cost of 10-20 times the current cost, or is he just going to say the the Soviet Union 'Well gee guys, uh, we don't have a credible deterent just right now, so don't do anything for about 5 years while we rebuild'?-- Stephen C.
