General: China Preparing Space War against U.S.

While speaking at a geo-spatial intelligence conference, Lieutenant General Edward Anderson, deputy commander of U.S. Northern Command, stated, "In my view it will not be long before space becomes a battleground," reported the Sydney Morning Herald. "Our military forces ... depend very, very heavily on space capabilities, and so that is a statement of the obvious to our potential threat, whoever that may be," Anderson said. "They [China] can see that one of the ways that they can certainly diminish our capabilities will be to attack the space systems," said Anderson, who was formerly with U.S. Space Command. The China Reform Monitor reports that Rich Haver, former special assistant for intelligence to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, said he expects battles in space within the next two decades. "I believe space is the place we will fight in the next 20 years," said Haver. Responding to a question regarding the implications of China sending a man into space, Haver commented: "I think the Chinese are telling us they're there, and I think if we ever wind up in a confrontation again with any one of the major powers who has a space capability, we will find space is a battleground." The new revelations about China's plans for the next war, one China says will be with the United States, are outlined in their new military manual "Unrestricted Warfare." This book, written by two Chinese colonels, has been described by U.S. intelligence agencies as the blueprint of a future war against America. "Unrestricted Warfare" even predicted the bombing of the World Trade Center as a type of the new warfare that will be used against America -- a prediction made more than a year before 9/11! NewsMax has the C.I.A.'s translation of "Unrestricted Warfare"

Okay. How much equipment would it take to have a few Air Force soldiers out there, with a EVA suit and thrusters, and a 50BMG?

THE book referenced in the article:

Unrestricted Warfare



By Colonels Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui
Introduction by Al Santoli

As incredible as it may be to believe, three years before the Sept. 11 bombing of the World Trade Center a Chinese military manual titled Unrestricted Warfare touted such an attack – suggesting it would be difficult for the U.S. military to cope with.

“Whether it be the intrusions of hackers, a major explosion at the World Trade Center, or a bombing attack by bin Laden, all of these greatly exceed the frequency bandwidths understood by the American military...”

Surprisingly, Osama bin Laden is mentioned frequently in this book.

Hard to believe that Clinton/Gore were so damn willing to give away our advantage.
