Clinton committing America
to suicide
© 1999 WorldNetDaily.com
The "war" in Kosovo, now that an unworkable
peace has been established, is no longer featured
on the front pages of most major U.S.
newspapers. All we are left with is cleaning up
the mess, picking up the costs of our damage,
patting Clinton on the back for his "military
genius," and babysitting two warring factions --
again -- for the next millennium.
A far more dire military situation than Kosovo has
evolved, however, in regards to U.S. national
security. And no matter how you try to spin it, the
seriousness of it is nobody's fault except William
Jefferson Clinton. As de facto "commander" of the
U.S. military and president of this great nation,
ultimately it is he who sets national security
policies real military leaders must follow.
For years defense experts and, in some cases,
serving military commanders have been trying to
warn Americans that the Clinton administration
is decapitating U.S. nuclear weapons systems to
the point where many are now non-existent.
Simultaneously, with the help of a compliant
mainstream press, Americans have been told that
those concerns are unfounded because Russia and
China are no enemies of this state, that they too
are disarming as we are, and that no Russian or
Chinese nuclear threats exist in the first place.
Besides, Clinton apologists maintain, even if they
were a threat, neither can match the "power,
reach and technological superiority" of the United
States.
Maybe in 1988 after the Reagan years, but in
terms of military technology that was a long time
ago. And as hundreds of thousands of current
and former military personnel will attest, a lot can
happen -- or not happen -- in a decade.
At this time our nuclear force is a shell of what it
once was, which would be just peachy if the
United States did not face any threats to our
existence from potential enemies with similar or
better nuclear capabilities. But America does face
those threats, and the list of countries that could
be aligned against us in the future is growing.
Worse, the U.S. has either directly provided much
of the necessary upgrading technology or, at a
minimum, has -- via the taxpayers -- paid for
upgrading the newest weapons systems.
Hostile countries are now fielding those weapons
and, if you care to, you can take a guess as to
where they are being aimed.
It's one thing to shut down a tank production line
or scale back the number of B-2 bombers you plan
to build. But in this day and age, it's quite a
different (and more dangerous) thing to
unilaterally rid yourself of nuclear weapons. But
that is what the Clinton administration is doing.
Here's a rundown of our current unilateral
nuclear disarmament:
Clinton has signed Presidential Decision
Directive 60, which changed the onus of our
nuclear response. In the past the U.S.
military has been able to "respond on
warning" of a nuclear attack. No longer;
Clinton has required our military
commanders to receive direct approval from
him before they can order the retaliatory
launch of U.S. nuclear weapons against a
country who launched at us first, even
though U.S. commanders would know
within seconds -- via satellite -- when an
enemy's missiles were launched, and from
where.
Clinton has ordered that America reduce
her nuclear warhead deployment to 2,500
warheads -- far fewer than Russia, and
before Russia has even considering ratifying
a treaty limiting warhead deployment. This
means, essentially, that the doctrine of
"MAD" -- Mutually Assured Destruction --
no longer applies because the Russians can
destroy our retaliatory capability at once,
and still have enough inventory in reserve in
case they need to launch further nuclear
strikes.
According to Joel M. Skousen, a political
scientist and avid Russia analyst, "The most
savvy Soviet-watchers can point to a host of
evidence indicating that the so-called
'collapse' was engineered to disarm the West
and garner billions in direct aid to assist
Russia while inducing the West to take over
the economic burden of the former satellite
states. But the most ominous evidence is
found in defectors from Russia who tell the
same story: Russia is cheating on all aspects
of disarmament, and is siphoning off billions
in Western aid money to modernize and
deploy top-of-the-line new weapons systems
aimed at taking down the U.S. military in
one huge, decapitating nuclear strike."
Though considered at one time, the Clinton
administration has killed any effort to build
a U.S.-version of a mobile nuclear ICBM.
The conventional nuclear missile
deployment wisdom in other countries
rejects the notion of a fixed in-ground
launch site because of the U.S.'s ability to
locate and target those sites. And since
those countries do not possess the number
of weapons America has, they have opted
to build and deploy mobile missiles because
they're harder to target and destroy.
Clinton has refused to acknowledge the
absolute necessity of an advanced
anti-ballistic missile defense system (ABM),
even though the proliferation of these
weapons has increased nearly 5-fold since
he became president.
Clinton has ordered all nuclear weapons
production halted, while the Russians,
Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis and North
Koreans continue to develop them. Our
current top ICBM, the Peacemaker, is over
ten years old and the technology is
stagnant.
There are reports that the new Russian
Topol-M ICBM has technology incorporated
within its warhead that scrambles U.S.
radar signals necessary to target them with
an ABM system. Without new research and
testing, the U.S. cannot possibly develop the
necessary countermeasure to defeat this
technology, which leaves us vulnerable.
While the Russians especially have a large
and complex civil defense program, the U.S.
has abandoned any notion of civil defense,
leaving every man, woman and child at risk
during a nuclear attack.
PDD 60 also forbids any naval sub nuclear
retaliation without direct contact with the
president. This is a mistake considering any
first strike by an enemy would almost
certainly destroy most, if not all, U.S.
communications links.
Clearly, military policies like these serve only to
weaken this nation and commit it to suicide. What
I can't figure out is where in the United States Bill
Clinton thinks he'll be safe from the fallout of
countless nuclear attacks made possible by his
own clueless irresponsibility? Hollywood?
May God bless us and keep us safe until we can
reverse this ignorance in November 2000.
