“Red China not a nuclear power?”

Debunked lie.

Some are repeating it as fact, because they can’t be bothered doing a few SECONDS of typing in a search engine.

“Herman Cain spent the Vietnam war evaluating the capabilities of the Chinese to deliver a nuclear weapon onto the heads of our forces in South Vietnam.

He examined the test launches of the Dongfeng 1 (SS-1) and plotted out the trajectories for a 500kg warheads.

When China started testing the Dongfeng 2 (CSS-1) Cain plotted out the trajectories and capabilities of it’s delivery of 15 kiloton nuclear weapons.

Both of these missiles were provided to the PRC by the Soviets, Cain analysed data from the Russian test launches and determined the risk to U.S. troops in SE Asia.

Cain also observed the development of China’s first domestically produced missile, Dongfeng 3 (CSS-2) and plotted out it’s use with China’s 15-20KT fissile devices as well as China’s new thermonuclear devices.

Finally, Cain was involved in the determination that China’s Dongfeng 4 (CSS-3) was capable of delivering both fissile and thermonuclear devices to both Moscow and Guam as well as cover the entire deployment of U.S. forces in SE Asia.

Cain is well aware of China’s nuclear missile capability, the only reasonable conclusion is that Cain was indeed referring to China’s attempts to develop and sail their first nuclear aircraft carrier and their attempts to develop more dangerous nuclear cruisers.”

As a Palin supporter who is now searching for the "next best thing", I have every right to "kick the tires" and ruminate on all of the remaining candidates' strengths and flaws, rather than just jump head-over-heels for someone.
To imply that I'm some kind of "tool" or "dupe" is slanderous coming from kindred Freeper spirits.

Like I had previously replied: "I read the scoop on Herman's Chinese nuke "gaffe" - and can see that he knows much more than he first let on - but he's got to articulate that from the get-go, he needs to be quicker on his feet or the Zero and MSM will bury him - not good for Herman or the US."

Thanks for the research. I’m grabbing it for future refution operations. It’s going to be a long campaign.
