You gotta Be Kidding!

Beyond mind-boggling:

A leading US lawmaker who fears budget cuts could delay modernizing the US nuclear arsenal voiced concern Friday about an extensive tunnel complex designed to house Chinese nuclear missiles.
"This network of tunnels could be in excess of 5,000 kilometers (3,110 miles), and is used to transport nuclear weapons and forces," said Michael Turner, who chairs a House Armed Services Committee panel focusing on strategic weapons and other security programs.

"As we strive to make our nuclear forces more transparent, China is building this underground tunnel system to make its nuclear forces even more opaque," he added, citing an unclassified Department of Defense report.

To hell with their 5,000 kilometers of tunnel. They will end up growing mushrooms in them because all their cities, their ports and industrial centers are wide-open sitting ducks, just like ours are.

What blew me away is what this "leading US lawmaker" said:

As we strive to make our nuclear forces more transparent, China is building this underground tunnel system to make its nuclear forces even more opaque.

SAY WHAT?

We are striving to make our nuclear forces MORE TRANSPARENT?

No wonder we are in such a mess! Total idiots like this moron are in charge. He's even chairs a House Armed Services Committee panel focusing on strategic weapons and other security programs.

Good Godamighty! Get rid of this jackass before he gives the Russians, the Chinese, the North Koreans, and everybody else GPS co-ordinates for every nuclear weapon he have!

You just can't make up this stuff up. Any action writer who tried to sell a story with a plot line like this would be laughed out of town.

Insane. Totally, completely, round-the-bend insane.

Yeah, why make our nukes more transparent?
Obviously the LESS the enemy knows about them, the better.
We need to get rid of that guy and anyone else that thinks any of our defenses need to be "transparent".
