I believe the Clintons can be charming, and they're capable of wonderful, remarkable deeds. I also believe they're morally bankrupt, and better suited to prison stripes than public office. Some people are worried about Bush, and they may be right to worry; but Clinton gave China the ability to reach the U.S. with nuclear weapons delivered by long-range missiles.
* "U.S. satellite companies helped China "perfect" its strategic missiles through technology transferred with the approval of the Clinton administration, according to a senior House member.
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher said Beijing's strategic rockets were unable to target the United States effectively five years ago but benefited greatly in the past several years by acquiring technology with both commercial and military applications.
"I am very sad to say [the Chinese] now have the capability of landing nuclear weapons in the United States and we are the ones who perfected their rockets," the chairman of the House Science subcommittee on space and aeronautics said in a floor speech Thursday.
...A secret Pentagon report on the companies' technology transfer determined that "United States national security has been harmed," according to U.S. officials who have seen thereport.
Mr. Rohrabacher said Mr. Clinton and his administration"have been doing everything they can to quash the investigation."
...It also "put us all in the crosshairs of a communist government which, thanks to this assistance, now has the ability not just to put satellites into space but to deliver nuclear weapons to a majority of American cities," he said.
A CIA report sent to senior U.S. policymakers last month said that China now has 13 of its 18 long-range CSS-4 strategic missiles pointed at the United States.
Mr. Rohrabacher said his investigation into the matter was prompted by an executive from a U.S. aerospace company involved in "upgrading" the Chinese missile capability, who said the firm was operating under a "national security waiver" signed by President Clinton. Mr. Rohrabacher said later in an interview that the company was Motorola Corp. He did not identify the executive.
