6/12/96: According to US intelligence agencies, Pakistan has deployed the M-11 missiles it received from China in 1993. Whether or not the missiles are operational is the topic of ongoing debate between various US agencies drafting an intelligence report. In a 13 June 1996 Washington Post article, CIA and Defense Department intelligence officials argue that Pakistan's M-11 missiles should be considered operational because they have been assigned to an army unit trained by Chinese technicians to operate the missiles. The State Department disagreed with the assessment , saying that the missiles are not operational until they are assembled and are used in training by the military. [Bill Gertz, "Pakistan Deploys Chinese Missiles," Washington Times, 12 June 1996, pp. A1, A14.] [who's right the state dept or the CIA, Defence Officials] As for Dr. Oehler stements .. explained that the Clinton Administration did not impose the most severe, Category I sanctions after the 34 M-11s were transferred in 1992 in order to maintain as much "negotiating flexibility" as possible so as not to imperil the Sino-US bilateral relationship with such a strong penalty. Dr. Oehler continued that the White House and the State Department argued that the intelligence evidence of complete M-11 transfers was "insufficient" to trigger the imposition of Category I sanctions, mainly because the missiles were still in crates. He said "Because of the impact of the sanctions, they needed to set the level of evidence very high." The intelligence agency admits that the missiles are deployed, yet he says they are still in their crates for which he doesn't have proof. If he admits that they are deployed then it will entail category 1 sanctions which they are trying to avoid That is politics. If they are deployed and yet they are uncrated means that they must be deployed in their uncrated state. Just before launch paki techs will visit the site with crowbars and uncrate them and then have them ready for launch. Ha Ha Ha hA Ha Ha ... you really are a dickless nutcase .... ha ha ha. BTW I've provided proof that China continued to help pakiland even after sanctions, and even after china agreed to not continue any assistance .... WHere's your proof that as you said 'under US pressure" china stopped all assistance completly. I guess they went the way of your cojones.
