Slicing Our Own Jugular
The Russians now have a spiffy new ICBM force thanks to a couple of tremendously stupid programs implemented by the United States.
The Nuclear Cities Initiative was a Clinton-era program designed to keep the Soviet nuclear enrichment centers operating. The fear was that the scientists and technicians who operated these centers would sell their services to the highest bidder, so Uncle Sam underwrote their continued operations. As a result, these complexes have continued to crank out enriched Uranium and Plutonium for Russia`s nuclear arsenal.
The Cooperative Threat Reduction Program was intended to decommission the old Soviet arsenal-thus freeing the Russian government`s money to build a brand new one. WE financed their new weapons systems!
With Comrad Putin and his poisonous cadre (quite literally!) in power, America still faces a nuclear threat from the Great Bear. We can add this to the ever growing list of threats we face throughout the world.
Unfortunately, this one we did to ourselves!

What were we thinking!
Was the Clinton administration the second coming of Jimmy Carter!!!
They set up the North Koreans nicely, aided the Chinese with their missile systems and now this! Weren't they also the ones who signed on to a test ban treaty that insured we could not keep innovating our own arsenal while simultaneously drawing down our armed forces?
Between Carter and Clinton we may never dig out of the hole(s) these guys created. And now they are President Bush's biggest critics...
