The United States Air Force never wanted this worthless missile costing
$1.4 million dollars each called the AGM-142. General Richard Hawley,
who commanded all U.S. fighters and bombers, said the Air Force took
a close look at this missile but decided existing bombs could destroy
targets at a fraction of cost. General Hawley retired from the Air Force
last June.
Despite objections, Congress has defied the Air Force and bought 240
missiles costing more than a quarter billion dollars. These supposed
'pinpoint accurate' missiles were tried in Serbia, but failed to hit any
targets, not one hit! Existing American made laser-guided bombs,
costing $14,000 each, approximately 1% of the cost of AGM 142,
did hit and destroy targets. Why did Congress buy these faulty missiles?
C.B.S.'s "60 minutes" gave the answer on January 11.
THE AGM-142 IS MADE IN ISRAEL!
ISRAEL HAS POWERFUL FRIENDS IN IMPORTANT PLACES!
Former Texas Congressman Charles Wilson had a seat on the House
Committee that controlled the Pentagon budget. He made no bones
about being one of Israel's best friends in Congress. Retired
Congressman Wilson is now working for a big-time Washington lobbying
firm which makes the AGM-142.
Why have you not heard about this boondoggle in your local paper,
and why did the excellently documented 60- minute production receive
no follow through? Collusion between Congress, Israel and the news
media may be the reason. If this faulty, costly weapon had been bought
from China, or any country but Israel, it would have been front-page
news from Maine to California.
There is more. Amazingly, Congress had already acquired a large
inventory of the AGM-142 even before the Desert Storm slaughter was
staged in 1991. Furthermore, unnamed sources pressured the military
to use it against Iraq. General Hawley and others told CBS that Pentagon
sources shipped the Israeli missiles to the American Airforces in Saudi
Arabia, over the objection of the military. The Commanding General
shipped the ordinance back to the US before the international press got
wind of the effort of our government to bomb Iraq with Israeli made
missiles, the ultimate war provocation.
The AGM-142 travesty is only one in an endless chain of abuses of the
American taxpayer, all to Israel's benefit. Twenty seven years ago Former
United States Senator J. William Fulbright, Chairman of the powerful
Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, tried to expose this. He stated
repeatedly "Israel controls the (U.S.) Senate." Fulbright later admitted he
was driven from office by the very lobby he tried to expose...a testimony
to the power of the Israeli lobby.
Israeli influence extends to the Executive Branch, especially to the Presidents.
On May 18, 1998, Vice President Al Gore told the 39th Annual Policy
Conference of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), "Our
commitment to the security of Israel is unconditional." Gore made this
stunning statement at the very hour when President William Jefferson Clinton
faced an impeachment indictment. The Vice President pledged his allegiance,
not to "one nation under God,".. but to "One Nation Under Israel."
This writer is not warmongering for more deadly weapons. The wanton,
fish-in-a-barrel-shoot still going on in Iraq is deplorable. The same is true
of the needless bombing of Yugoslavia, where innocent persons were killed
and maimed without logic comprehensible to the American taxpayer. In this
respect, the never-hit-anything, Israeli missile may have its only virtue. As
best anyone knows, no American has killed anyone with this ugly piece of
explosive junk! Perhaps this missile that does not work should be the standard
issue weapon to our shoot-happy Warmakers. However, your author thinks
there is a better way to control the Warmakers who dominate our government.
It is time to sign petitions demanding the resignation of members of Congress
who were involved in this missile rip off, for such activity can easily be looked
upon as outright TREASON.....Carl Greeley (gree7204@webtv.net)
The evidence sited in Mr. Greeley's article can be purchased from CBS,
60-Minutes, January 11, call CBS for The Missile That Failed. For unimpeachable
detail on who controls our Congress, read ONE NATION UNDER ISRAEL.
