At What Point Does Incompetence Become Treasonous?

At what point does
incompetence become treasonous?
Just what this administration thinks it is up to is a
serious concern at this point. Many speak darkly of
conspiracy and even treason, but how could anyone
seriously suggest a sitting president is guilty of such
crimes or desires?
Clinton's earliest presidential acts included shutting
down our last nuclear weapon assembly line and our
cruise missile contracts. Not much later, Clinton
ensured one John Huang had access to classified data
for which he was never properly cleared. Huang was
allowed to carry this data out of his government office
to a private office. From there, he phoned, mailed,
and faxed numerous documents to Riaddy and Chinese
agents, when he wasn't just dropping over to the
Chinese Embassy to spend the night.
Sen. John Glenn (D-OH), obfuscated and frustrated Sen.
Fred Thompson's (R-TN), investigation into illegal
Chinese campaign finance funds. His blatant pay off was
one only the White House could guarantee. The Cox
report detailing the findings of a House investigation
into similar and possibly related security issues
remains heavily classified at White House insistence.
This White House has repeatedly demonstrated a
professional flair for leaking damaging issues late on
Friday night, defeating serious interest due to a quirk
of the news and commentary deadline cycles. Until very
recently, the only leaked Cox material concerned
Chinese nuclear espionage at Los Alamos that allegedly
didn't even take place during this administration.
These leaks only benefited the administration. Various
spokesfolks immediately spouted the party line that the
administration naturally acted upon these reports
immediately. The media rapidly poked gaping holes in
these lies. Within this new context, Clinton's
decision to kill a grand jury investigation into
Loral's transfer of classified data via waiver grew
even more worrisome.
Milosevic has no demonstrable territorial designs
beyond his borders, while Albania clearly does. We are
expected to ignore the fact that China was Albania's
sole ally for decades before Kosovo when all of a
sudden, off we go to war. It is pure coincidence that
we allied ourselves with Albanian factions, ignoring
their atrocities and massacres of Serbians.
Buried by war news is the report that the FBI quite
naturally requested a wiretap be approved to
investigate the Los Alamos suspect. Since the theft
was first suspected, roughly 2,700 wiretaps have been
approved by the Justice Department. Exactly one was
turned down, the one concerning the most serious loss
of nuclear secrets in forty years.
Also relegated to back pages are reports that Chinese
espionage efforts have heavily compromised several
highly classified black projects. Our investigators
have discovered that Chinese agents have so thoroughly
penetrated them, they use terminology and slang common
only to those working on them. Every one of these
fiascoes took place since Clinton took office.
Combined, they are even more significant than the Los
Alamos loss.
Recently, Clinton withdrew "launch on warning"
prerogatives from subordinate commands. Launch on
warning was essential to our Mutually Assured
Destruction Doctrine, ensuring a rapid response to
inbound missiles, before they begin landing. Regardless
of even a significant numerical superiority, who would
try a sneak attack, knowing we would launch in
retaliation before their missiles arrive? Considered
in isolation, it is a reasonable decision to remove
this Cold War relic.
Since the Soviet collapse, however, the Chinese have
acquired intercontinental nukes. We paid the Russians
to cut-up their older nuclear missiles. They re-used
the warheads in state-of-the-art missiles, even as we
unilaterally reduced our warhead inventory. It would
take 4 to 5 years to recover our production capability.
Yet our warheads will soon begin to fail inspection due
to normal decay. In this context, removal of launch on
warning is incredibly risky, even as Kosovo assumes
strategic importance.
Clinton has expended so many cruise missiles, that to
continue Kosovo operations, the Air Force has been
forced to convert unconventional cruise missiles into
conventional ones. Reportedly, the Air Force inventory
has dipped to only about 100 conventional birds. The
Navy has more, already being rushed to the theater for
expenditure.
Pre-Kosovo, discussions focused on the desirability of
replacing our aging cruise inventory with newer ones.
Now they have turned to the two year window of
opportunity our strategic shortage presents to our
enemies while we tool up another cruise missile
production line. And the Air Force conversion effort
further reduced our nuclear capabilities.
Recently, a former ambassador to China charged that
intelligence sources have tapes of John Huang
discussing classified material with the Chinese. They
are being withheld, allegedly at White House
insistence, due to their sensitive nature. Yet to
date, Huang has not even been questioned by the FBI.
Even if this is mere incompetence, it qualifies as
criminal.
Meanwhile, the White House stonewalls questions
concerning its blatant disregard for national security
and arrogantly laughs off credible ones concerning
military support for any action in Kosovo. This White
House couldn't do a better job intentionally of fanning
those small flickering flames of suspicion into a
growing conflagration if it tried.
