Boutique Bombs

From the New York Times:  Gen. James E. Cartwright, a retired vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who was among Mr. Obama’s most influential nuclear strategists, said he backed the upgrades because precise targeting allowed the United States to hold fewer weapons. But “what going smaller does,” he acknowledged, “is to make the weapon more thinkable.”

The small, the stealthy and precise atomic bomb is here,

thanks to Pentagon experts who haven't any fear

that boutique bombs are just the thing to take out opposition

over in Korea with such accurate precision.

It may be unaffordable and needed not at all;

but having it makes Uncle Sam feel powerful and tall.

Thirty billion dollars for one missile ain't so bad;

not when it can pinpoint those whose deaths would make us glad.

A new toy in our arsenal; it makes a man feel good

to know we can blow up all those we have misunderstood.
