They don't call him the "comeback kid" for nothing:
Newsflash: In a Rasmussen national poll, ex-president Clinton's popularity has risen SHARPLY.
Overall, 58 percent of voters said they viewed the former president favorably, compared with 40 percent, who had an unfavorable opinion (the other 2% voted "present").
And of course, Bill Clinton (or as the Asians pronounce it..."Brill Krynton") has always been highly popular in the Far East- ESPECIALLY with the Chinese and the North Koreans, due to the secret boost Clinton has provided for both countries' strategic weapons development.
FACT: In 1995, the Chinese could barely boost a satellite up into earth orbit, having failed in 14 of 20 previous tries.
FACT: In 1995, North Korea was haplessly struggling to reverse-engineer primitive 1-stage Scud missiles, given to them by Russia back in the late 1980's.
But now, barely a decade later, the Chinese are holding military exercises on shooting down orbiting sateliites; and North Korea is threatening Hawaii with its latest multi-stage Taepodong 3 ballistic missile.
And how was it all possible? Of course - because of the incompetence, power lust, and dastardly treason of President William J. Clinton - "champion" of the Asian cause.
In Feb. of 1996, President Clinton - undercutting the Justice Department's investigation that it would harm U.S. national security- authorized the export of critical booster-rocket technology to the Chinese.
A New York Times reporter had uncovered a smoking gun (in the form of an admission by Democratic fund-raiser - Johnny Chung) that he had given the Democratic National Campaign Committee nearly $100,000 for Clinton's re-election in 1996.
And now, Clinton's reckless actions with China (as our 42nd president) have greased the skids for a possible future war.
Clinton not only pulled off a treasonous "quid pro quo" for re-election money, but also made one of the most foolhardy foreign policy blunders of any president since Jimmy Carter's Iran hostage debacle in 1979.
In spring of 1996, the U.S. and China had actually faced off in the Strait of Taiwan:
The Chinese had responded angrily to a thoughtless decision by President Clinton to allow Taiwan President Lee Teng-Hui to tour America, and hold "strategic talks" in Washington with the State department.
In retribution, China began "war games" - missile launches in the Taiwan Strait - tests that were clearly meant to intimidate the people of Taiwan.
Clinton - ignorant of the "brinkmanship" game he was playing-- dispatched two aircraft carriers to Taiwan, the Independence and the Nimitz, to ensure "peace and stability," and fulfill America's "role" as Taiwan's security guarantor.
After Clinton's dire provocation, an incensed China - at the brink of war - instead vowed revenge. The Chinese had learned their lesson...it was time to "muscle up. Beijing had decided it would go all-out to develop a way to wipe out the nearly invincible U.S. "umbrella defense" shrouding all American attack carriers.
The result? China's deadly DF-21 missile. an anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) that can strike carriers up to a range of 2000 km.
The sheer size of the DF-21 attack missile enables it to carry a warhead with the capability of destroying a massive American super-carrier in ONE initial strike.
But what's most intimidating is the incredible speed at which it flies upward - making it highly invulnerable to interception.
The DF-21 rises above the atmosphere at an astonishing Mach-10, (7000 mph) reaching its maximum range in only 10 minutes. It then plunges rapidly with "smart bomb" guidance, to strike a moving target at sea-- thereby rendering our US naval carrier umbrella almost useless.
And the Chinese are manufacturing DF-21's by the THOUSANDS, with long-on odds of getting through any possible US anti-missile defense - using sheer overwhelming numbers.
But China would still be playing around with mere satellite launches had it not been for the treachery of Bill Clinton.
Back in the early 90's, Chinese "boost vehicles" were not reliable. On average, only one satellite launch in four could be expected to succeed.
So Slick Willie then "encouraged" U.S. companies to "collaborate" their booster technology with Red China - the premise being cost: using a Chinese booster was just $25 to $65 million per satellite launch, as opposed to four times higher in the United States.
Thus, in pursuit of Clinton's phony "efficiency goal," U.S. space companies (Motorola, Hughes, and Loral) decided to share America's most sensitive missile technology - what is termed in aeronautical engineering parlance as...the "kick motor" (used with a missile's 3rd stage).
After repeated tests in the late 90's, China's perfection of this "kick motor" has given them the same American technology to launch MIRVs (multiple, independently targeted re-entry vehicles) that vastly increase the firepower of nuclear missiles.
Naturally, Clinton saw to it the intricate details involved in the transfer were completely scrubbed from all official U.S. documents. But the damage has been done; the 8 years of the Clinton presidency coincided with the most massive breach of military security in American history.
Now, playing fierce catch-up mode, China is modernizing its military at an astonishing rate.
Once again: the Chinese are going all out to develop weapons to shoot down U.S. satellites - something else that the liberal media has chosen to censor.
Also, back on January 6, 2000, a story broke in the "Washington Times" (again, largely ignored by the mainstream media) with the headline: "China Breaks Vow, Sends North Korea Missile Technology."
The story went on to reveal how China was supplying materials for North Korea's long-range missile program (despite promises China would tighten exports of such technology).
A Pentagon intelligence report had uncovered the details of the transfer:
-In October 1998 China had supplied fiber-optic gyroscopes (guidance tech) to North Korea.
-In March, 1999, China sold specialty steel to North Korean for missile frames.
-In June 1999 China supplied accelerometers, and special high-tech machinery to North Korean missile manufacturers.
If any ONE of the above had been traced back to its original source, Bill Clinton's presidency would have made Nixon look saintly.
And if the Chinese scandal on campaign donations had ever reached the FBI (back In '96), Bill Clinton would have not only lost to Dole, he'd have been impeached for "high crimes," instead of his "Monica misdemeanor."
So is it any wonder that all Clinton (Krynton) had to do was literally "show up" on Kim Jong's doorstep, and the puny North Korean dictator would at once release the two captured American female journalists?
There was no big deal involved; nothing Clinton had relinquished.
Without Clinton, Kim Jong knows he'd probably be trying to catch some scrawny rat to eat - working in the dandelion fields north of Pyongyang -instead of a bellowing, ballistic-missile-wielding power broker on the world's stage.
It was all because Clinton had sold out his country by transferring military secrets to the Chinese - and then on to Kim Jong.
North Korea's selling of missiles to Iran, Syria and Pakistan is one of the few sources of hard currency enabling Kim to fund his nuclear program - thereby keeping the country from revolting against him.
So thanks a lot there, ol' slick Willie Clinton- America will never forget you; especially if North Korea or China ever try a pre-emptive launch of their ballistic missiles, and attack our country -or our satellites- or embroil our country in a nuclear war.
Yup - those 90's were sure some great years.
