no doubt the US is counterfeiting their currency on a massive scale, an obvious act of war and provocation.

Talk about bullying, a country with tens of thousands of nuclear warheads, picking on a little country to steal their oil lunchmoney.

Less than a month ago, the Obama administration amended the US nuclear-response policy to remove all strategic ambiguity from the process, explicitly delineating when the US would consider a nuclear response to an attack.  Yesterday, the White House did the same with our nuclear inventory.  After decades of deliberate ambiguity about the exact numbers of nuclear weapons the US has, the Obama administration leaked the exact number:

[b]The United States has 5,113 nuclear warheads in its stockpile and many thousands more that have been retired and are awaiting dismantling, according to a senior defense official.[/b]

The release of the number of warheads marks only the second time in U.S. history the government has released the once top secret information.

The Pentagon statistics show the nuclear stockpile was reduced by 75 percent between the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and September 30, 2009, and 84 percent since its peak of more than 31,255 in 1967.

[b]The 5,113 warheads include active and inactive ones, according to the senior defense official.[/b]

Original Message Iran deployed riot police at key Tehran intersections on Thursday, after tensions flared over the nation's plunging currency in the most widespread display of anger linked to the country's sanctions-hit economy.

Iran's rial has lost nearly 40 percent of its value against the U.S. dollar in the past week.
