Nuclear Strategy Follow-On White Paper Deux

I hear the Administration has delivered the Nuclear Strategy Follow-On White Paper a/k/a How I learned to stop worrying and love the RRW to the Hill in time for the FY 2009 budget process.

Of, course, the NSFOWP is classified. But rumors that neither endanger national security nor risk fine and/or imprisonment are encouraged. For example:

  • Did the “myths” section make it?
  • Is there a (coherent) explanation of how we size our forces today?
  • Does it refer to the RRW as “super awesome-tastic”?
