and family. You know they've been wondering
how much for the Pentagon this year? More than
ever! 58%!
Yikes! |

FY11 funding for Pentagon base budget (Dept. of
Defense plus nuclear weapons) and the wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan: $733 billion. This is 58%

rare opportunity to change U.S. policy toward

Nuclear
Posture Review that will set U.S. nuclear weapons policy for the
next decade. This is the opportunity
for the President’s soaring rhetoric to be instituted
in real world policy planning.
