Chinese strategists believe that China must be prepared to fight in, and if necessary, control space; which explains the 2006 laser attack on a U.S. satellite from China and the 2007 anti-satellite missile test by the Chinese.

Some strategists advocate departing from the "no-first-use" policy and responding to conventional attacks on strategic forces with nuclear missiles.

All this hot on the heels of JCS Chairman Peter Pace telling the Commies in Beijing that their ASAT test "confused" the West. And then Admiral Thomas Keating demanding transparency just yesterday...to "avoid miscalculations."

The idea that if we just demonstrate a whole slew of secret capabilities...rendering them no longer secret...will make us safer is not merely liberal, but clinically insane.

Appeasers Gone Wild.
