Inside the Ring

March 7, 2008

By Bill Gertz - China missiles

One little-noticed intelligence disclosure contained in the Pentagon's annual report on Chinese military power says China now has ballistic missiles designed to hit U.S. aircraft carriers and ships at sea.

The missiles are described in the report as part of China's "anti-access/area denial capabilities" that include "anti-ship ballistic missiles designed to strike ships at sea, including aircraft carriers."

Using a ballistic missile to target ships requires a degree of sophistication not shown by Chinese missiles in the past, and indicates China's military has mastered precision missile targeting, no doubt helped by the theft of U.S. warhead design and other secrets through espionage in the 1990s.

Other new weapons that are part of the precision-guided missile arsenal are advanced cruise missiles, medium-range ballistic missiles, the direct ascent anti-satellite missiles, like the one tested in January 2007.

Thanks to traitor Bill Clinton, "husband" of that socialist pig Hillary Clinton.

Thanks Slick and Slickette. No wonder the Chinese money keeps flowing to your coffers.

“no doubt helped by the theft of U.S. warhead design and other secrets through espionage in the 1990s.”

I didn’t know Bill Clinton had a nickname. ‘espionage’.

Must be a French thing.

People can deny it all they want, BUT one day in the next 50 years, there will be a very big war btwn the U.S. and the ChiComms.

Gee, I wonder if Loral/Clinton's buddies even care that Chinese money paid Clinton to authorize Loral (and a few others) to “fix” Chinese rockets so their “satellites” could get into orbit without breaking up?

Waiting for the MSM to notice ....

That would be what the BMD destroyers and cruisers (and their SM3 missiles) are for.

Another interesting thing to note, is that in public news from years ago, China was manufacturing anti-ship missiles at several hundred missiles per ship (to get through defenses).

[Secret Agent Man]

Thanks Bill and Hillary!

That is so Chinese. Missile wave a la human wave.

"and the chicoms have been funded by wall mart...and stupid lazy americans who buy chicom crap..."

Sure. We should be thankful to importers who use computers and cars with all American parts in them.

[familyop]

"That is so Chinese. Missile wave a la human wave."

...agreed. It reminds me of stories from veterans of the Chosin Reservoir fight.

A private questions his sargeant during the Korean War.

"Hey sarge, how many hordes in a Chinese platoon?"
