Thank you, Bill Clinton. Another piece of your legacy!
So, what should we do?
Our men will die, our weaponry and equipment will be blown up, and freedom-loving nations will find themselves facing an ominous predator unlike any the world has ever known … in large part because of William Jefferson Clinton’s thirst for power, allegiance to a leftist political agenda … and obsessive desire to manufacture a personal legacy.
Thank you for reminding us. I despise him more than ever now.
For the old lefty who doesn't believe it is real, he should read this Northwestern University Physics Dept. publication. He should note that Hawaii was over 880 miles away, and power went down. And that was with old mechanical and analogue circuits that are more resistent to EMP than fragile VLSI semiconductor circuitry in our chips.
He also needs to read the Executive Summary of the expert EMP Threat Commission, which the unclassified portion of their report can be foundhere.
And I would note the testimony and conclusions stressed by Frank Gaffney, of the Center For Security Policy, FROM JUST TWO DAYS AGO, should be taken seriously:
" Speaking of Energy
No testimony by me before this Committee would be complete without a word of thanks to you, Mr. Chairman and to your colleagues – especially Congressmen Bartlett and Weldon – for your work on the danger posed to our nation and way of life by the threat of electro-magnetic pulse (EMP) attacks.
Thanks to your efforts, the expert EMP Threat Commission was established by law and charged with conducting a detailed assessment of the effects of a nuclear attack on the United States involving the detonation high above the Nation of a ballistic missile-delivered, EMP-optimized weapon. As you know, the panel concluded that the EMP effects of a detonation at altitudes between 40 and 400 miles above this country could so severely disrupt, both directly and indirectly, electronics and electrical systems as to create a "damage level…sufficient to be catastrophic to the Nation." Worse yet, the commission concluded that "our current vulnerability invites attack." (You have rendered a real public service by making the executive summary of this classified report available at http://armedservices.house.gov/openingstatementsandpressreleases/108thcongress/04- 07-22emp.pdf)
As China is one of the potential adversaries who understands our nation’s acute vulnerability to such attacks, I urge members of this Committee to ensure that the findings of the blue-ribbon Commission on the EMP Threat, that you did so much to make possible, are presented to the full House with a view to implementing as quickly as possible that Commission’s many important recommendations."

And sometimes in my fantasy, as heavily armed king of the hill, I have the frustrated experience, while listening to whatever that enemy is saying, of saying, myself, out loud .. Aaahhh f***it, and I just blow the sumb!tch away.
Sometimes I wish my fantasy's would/could come true,
but mostly I'm glad they can't.
But
sometimes ....

Much thanks.
Enormously too true, imho.

last line says it all.
I would say about the time Klinton sold missle technology from Lawler Industries to the Chinese over the objection of the defense dept.
Bttt!
Thanks for another excellent essay, Joanie.
Is it my imagination or is it happening that the readers here and the rest of the nation are shrugging their shoulders; and going on with daily routines as usual?
The 'what can I do about it response'?
It may result in it being the end of our nation ... ho hum.
Doesn't anyone get a fire in their belly anymore?

NEW FACTS ABOUT EMP
BY R. KENNETH MITCHELL, KA6FRDThe National Communications System (NCS), a governmental entity made up from 22 different Federal agencies, wants ham radio operators and their gear to survive an EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) generated "nuclear event." NCS engineers have simulated the EMP phenomenon in the laboratory and have subjected various pieces of current amateur radio gear to its effect.
The people at NCS came to some rather surprising conclusions.
In their report they say, "It was concluded that modern solid-state amateur radio equipment was more survivable in an EMP transient environment than had been previously anticipated."

It will be nice when the world can bury or dismantle all of its nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, due to the oversupply of evil people in high places, that time has not come around yet.
The Bush administration's apparent lack of effort to reverse the Permanent MFN status granted to China in 2000 isn't helping things, either.
