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'?
