The weapon's systems the Pentagon and US analysts have cited are no
secret and have been under development for years.
There is no surprising new threat.
The Financial Times reported in March 2006 that, "it was unclear what
aspects of Beijing's development of its nuclear missile forces had
surprised US analysts.
The report merely cited information about the introduction of new
weapons such as the solid-fueled, road-mobile DF-31 intercontinental
ballistic missile (ICBM), which has been under development for
decades.
The level and intensity of our government's manipulation are
astounding, and should give a pause to those who continue to let the
Bush regime set the agenda at the U.N..
Further, there is an astounding disregard from the Bush administration
about their own historic escalation of our own nation's military
budget for Bush's own destabilizing militarism in Iraq and elsewhere.

Bush's Gift to the Military Industry: A New Cold War Arms Race with
Russia
by Ron Fullwood
"My message will be 'Vladimir - I call him Vladimir - that you
shouldn't fear a missile-defense system. --Bush, Tuesday June 5, 2007
***** Cheney in Sydney earlier in the year, took it upon himself to
complain about China's 'military buildup' and their shooting down of
an old weather satellite.
Cheney wasn't really concerned with any actual threat from China.
He was just carrying water for his military industry benefactors, like
Lockheed and Boeing who are shopping around Europe for governments
willing to buy into their 'missile defense' protection scheme they've
mapped out with the military industry executives who've infected the
Bush regime even before his ascendance to office.
"Last month's anti-satellite test, China's continued fast-paced
military buildup, are less constructive and are not consistent with
China's stated goal of a peaceful rise," he said.
Cheney was well aware of efforts reported underway for years to sell
missile defense systems in Central Europe which accelerated this year,
including a deal with Britain's lame-duck, Blair, to take his
country's defence dollars in return for the false security of
hunkering his citizens underneath a U.S. missile 'umbrella', hiding
from anticipated reprisals from Bush's continuing and increasing
militarism.
The reasoning behind the Bush administration's planned deployment of
these 'missile interceptors' to Europe has nothing at all to do with
some Cold War threat from Russia or China, according to Secretary of
State Condi Rice, who told reporters during a trip to Germany in
February that, "There is no way that 10 interceptors in Poland and
radar sites in the Czech Republic are a threat to Russia or that they
are somehow going to diminish Russia's deterrent of thousands of
warheads."
