IS OBAMA CRIPPLING U.S. MISSILE DEFENSE?
Newsmax.com published today, June 7: "A new report by the National Air and Space Intelligence Center reveals that the missile threat to the U.S. from potentially hostile nations is growing." Is Obama unilaterally disarming America? Who benefits by his focus on reducing America's defenses and taking a chance, when the consequences of just one enemy missile armed with chemical, biological or nuclear warheads, even an EMP (electromagnetic pulse bomb) "getting through" could be so devastating?
Included in the NASIC report:
"...since 2006, North Korea has deployed nearly 50 new missiles with a range of more than 2,000 miles. It has also tested the Taepodong-2 missile, which has a range of 3,400 miles."
The NASIC report cites Iran's April launch of a missile that "can serve as a testbed for long-range ballistic missile technologies."
"China, has 'the most active and diverse ballistic missile development program in the world,' and the number of Chinese ICBM warheads capable of threatening the U.S. is expected to grow to 'well over 100 in the next 15 years.' "
"Russia has increased its arsenal of warheads on its SS-18 ICBMs by 250 in recent years. Russia is also developing new technology "to allow Russian strategic missiles to penetrate missile defense systems," according to the NASIC report... .
"The Pentagon, meanwhile, recently announced that its next budget includes a $1.5 billion cut in missile defense funding."
Mr. Obama, in his presidential campaign, pledged "I will cut investments in our missile defense system", which was exactly opposite of what he should have pledged. But the gullible, uncomprehending, neutralized, peace-loving, spiritually blinded Christians of America bought it under Obama's banner of "change". Change? Did they ask, in what direction?
