The Yanks Are MAD!!!

[Dave Homewood]

Despite the attrocities the USA have caused in Iraq, it looks like they may have gotten off lightly. This very worrying news item is from NZ Teletext - Sept 13, 2005

US plan nuclear strategy
A draft US defence paper calls for preventative nuclear strikes in order to deter states from using weapons of mass destruction and urges US troops to "prepare to use nuclear weapons".

The document was put together by the Pentagon's Joint Staff in an attempt to adapt current procedures to the fast-changing post-September 11 world.

An official said it has not yet been signed off by Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and thus has not been made official policy.

Do the Al Queada have nuke-capability?
Or the Taliban's...

I'd be surprised if they do.

The Russians and Chinese are not the enemies they used to be so,....tiz weird...

I think the Yanks are worried that China might become the enemy they'll fear in the future. Taiwan is still a very sore point with China, and has caused a lot of tension before between China and the US. All it takes is one idiot who can't afford to lose face when under pressure, and KABOOM!

And there's always that "Loose Cannon" Korea to think about too.

(Please don't tell Comrade Helen I said any of this, because she thinks the world is a very, very happy place.)

....I get this strange feeling that Corsair67 ain't voting for Labour on Sunday (if he was here)..... ;D

Good points there, though North Korea would prob be the one I would be watching as China is really developing it's exporting and couldn't afford to jeapordise that...
Only my opinion.

Dunno, better ask the US arms dealers...

The war with China will come about by their fast growing need for oil and America's fast growing hogging it all.
