Com {{<Begin>}} NEWS ALERT Weinberger Says U.S. May Have to Go to War With China 2/29/00 - By Scott Stanley Jr. Taking note of yesterday�s announcement by Liberation Army Daily, the official newspaper of Red China�s armed forces, former defense secretary Caspar Weinberger told a meeting on Capitol Hill Tuesday that, �It might not be wise for America to go to war with China, but it might be necessary.� The threat by the People�s Liberation Army to engage in long-range missile attacks on the U.S. mainland needs an �unequivocal, immediate, unambiguous, firm response,� Weinberger said. The former defense secretary also cited an 11,000-word white paper released by Beijing as a high-level negotiating team led by Deputy Secretary of Defense Strobe Talbott left China to return to the United States. Weinberger noted that although Clinton�s ambassador to China, Joseph Prueher, claimed the document contained only a sentence or two that was threatening, it was in fact so warlike as to contain �no nuances,� Weinbeger said, adding: �Clinton should have picked a stronger U.S. ambassador. Weinberger also noted China�s forward deployment of missiles directed at Taiwan even as a carrier task force led by the USS Kittyhawk and two U.S. missile cruisers maneuvered off Japan. Thanks to U.S. technology sold to and stolen by the Red Chinese, Beijing is thought by defense experts to have at least 24 long- range missiles capable of hitting most of the United States with warheads the equivalent of 5 million tons of TNT. Weinberger told the hushed audience at the Monday Club, hosted by former Indianapolis News editor M. Stanton Evans, that this would be a very good time to have a missile-defense shield in place as proposed under President Reagan. Because of the Clinton administration, Weinbeerger said, �I don�t think we are militarily ready for conflict with China.� {{<End>}} A<>E<>R ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Integrity has no need of rules. -Albert Camus (1913-1960) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. -Marcel Proust + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your common sense." --Buddha + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly. -Bertrand Russell + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + "Everyone has the right...to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."
