Divine Strake? What the heck?

DIVINE STRAKE If Bush's desire to perform a test of this nuclear device on June 2nd doesn't scare the hell out of you, then you must be a chickenhawk like Bush.

Look at the names of the devices as listed:
Divine Strake
Divine Warkhawk
Divine Helcat
Divine Hates

Further explained in the article as: DIVINE STRAKE is one of several "DIVINE" efforts under the Hard and Deeply Buried Target Defeat (HDBTD) program. DIVINE WARHAWK consists of deep underground operational tunnel facility defeat demonstrations using advanced weapons at the White Sands Missile Range. DIVINE HELCAT was a 2004 reconstitution exercise to determine reconstitution time for the C3I tunnel facility at Nevada Test Site (NTS). Also in 2004 planning began for DIVINE HATES, which is a WMD production and storage tunnel complex functional defeat effort.


Worse, are the "divine" bombs to be used in the quest to bring on Armageddon in the middle east? This just scares the hell out of me!

I just noted something I missed in the article, the definitions of divine and strake, which should scare the hell out of you even more.

Divine: Having the nature of or being a deity. Of, relating to, emanating from, or being the expression of a deity: sought divine guidance through meditation. Being in the service or worship of a deity; sacred. Superhuman; godlike. Supremely good or beautiful; magnificent: a divine performance of the concerto. Extremely pleasant; delightful: had a divine time at the ball. Heavenly; perfect.
Strake: A device for controlling air flow over an aircraft. A strake is also a part of a boat or ship used for generally the same purpose in water rather than air. It is a strip of planking in a wooden vessel or of plating in a metal one, running longitudinally along the vessel's side, its bottom or between them on the turn of the bilge.
