If the true intention was to force production of new models then, where are they?
The idea of depleting our level of current "older model" missiles to near extinction for any reason can only bring grave consequences. The newer models should have been produced and been on-hand before the older models were used to such dangerously low levels, or production of the old models started up until the new models were produced. Sounds like "Piss Poor Planning" and Judgement on the part of komrade klinton to me!!!
How does that old saying go . . ." A Bird In The Hand Is Worth Two In The Bush"!!!

My understanding during the Kosovo operation was that the USAF
*deliberately* overused cruise missiles against Serbia, *precisely* to force
the Administration to authorize production of new models. For WorldNet
Daily to state that "The Air Force missile shortage reportedly was caused
by the Clinton administration, which used large numbers of the robot missile
weapons for strikes against Iraq and Kosovo" is somewhat disingenuous, to
say the least, and smacks strongly of disinformation. (Disinformation, IMO,
is a major component of everything that comes from WND, the Washington
Times, the New York Post, and like-minded [right(wing)-minded] journals.)
