US removes its nuclear arms from Britain

Posted by Matt in June 27th, 2008

Exit of 110 gravity bombs ends 54-year presence. Change happened secretly over years, say scientists.

The US has removed its nuclear weapons from Britain, ending a contentious presence spanning more than half a century, a report will say today. According to the study by the Federation of American Scientists, the last 110 American nuclear weapons on UK soil were withdrawn from RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk on the orders of President George Bush.

The report’s author, Hans Kristensen, one of the leading experts on Washington’s nuclear arsenal, said the move had happened in the past few years, but had only come to light yesterday.

Chomsky on Iran and Nuclear Development
Are assumptions about Iran wrong? NOAM CHOMSKY, PROFESSOR OF LINGUISTICS, MIT: Well, if I can make a comment about the stated reasons, the very fact that we're discussing them tells us a lot about the sort of intellectual culture and moral culture in the United States. I mean, suppose it was true that Iran is helping insurgents in Iraq. I mean, wasn't the United States helping insurgents when the Russians invaded Afghanistan? Did we think there was anything wrong with that? I mean, Iraq's a country that was invaded and is under military occupation. You can't have a serious discussion about whether someone else is interfering in it. The basic assumption underlying the discussion is that we own the world. So if we invade and occupy another country, then it's a criminal act for anyone to...

London 24th February 2007 Demonstration
On 24th February 2007 60,000 people marched through the streets of London in protest at the UK Governments policies on Iraq, Iran and nuclear weapons. The country wants Troops out of Iraq, no attack on Iran and no new nuclear weapons in the UK. We want our taxes spent on education and health care not supporting in the US in empire building and using the UK as a nuclear missile silo. We do not want a replacement for Trident nuclear weapons which the UK hasn't even got control over. We do not want to support George Bush's plan to invade Iran. All audio and video was recorded during the demonstration in London. 'War' was performed live by Ugly Rumours. Speeches by Mark Thomas and George Galloway. The protest was organised by the Stop The War Coalition, CND and the BMI.

Jimmy Carter says Israel has 150 nuclear weapons
Freedom of the press! Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter says Israel has a nuclear arsenal of 150 weapons. Asked at a news conference at Wales's Hay literary festival on Sunday how a future U.S. president should deal with the Iranian nuclear threat, Carter put the risk in context by listing atomic weapons held globally. "The U.S. has more than 12,000 nuclear weapons, the Soviet Union (Russia) has about the same, Great Britain and France have several hundred, and Israel has 150 or more. We have a phalanx of enormous weaponry ... not only of enormous weaponry but of rockets to deliver those missiles on a pinpoint accuracy target," he said, according to a transcript of his remarks. While experts have long maintained Israel has a nuclear arsenal, the Jewish state has refused to confirm or...

Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending. I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. I will not weaponize space. I will slow our development of future combat systems, and I will institute an independent defense priorities board to ensure that the quadrennial defense review is not used to justify unnecessary spending. Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal I will not develop new...
