Obama has released his first Nuclear Posture Review;

http://www.defense.gov/npr/docs/2010...w%20Report.pdf

One of the most interesting aspects in it, IMO, is the development of Prompt Global Strike weapons. In essence, these are ICBMs with conventional, rather than nuclear, warheads; so we’ll end up trading in some nuclear ICBMs that we’ll never use for conventional ICBMs that we probably will use at some point. I was curious as to what the members here though of the idea.
