Wednesday 9/2/98 8:34 AM John Young I mailed you 20 pages of view graphs for Sandia president C Paul Robinsons August 19, 1998 speech Looking to the future: A more dangerous world is appearing. Your readers will likely value the opportunity to ATTEMPT to find out is what on Robinsons and the US governments mind. Money is at the heart of motivation, of course. If the US is NOT firing tomahawk missiles SOMEWHERE, then this is BAD for BUSINESS. No PR s being written for replacements. The Tomahawk cruise missile, acquired when Raytheon bought Hughes Aircraft from General Motors Corp. in December for $9.5 billion. Nearly 300 were fired in the Gulf War at Iraqi missile sites, command centers, weapons caches, and other targets. A new version is guided by global positioning satellites, a network of 24 satellites fixed high above the earth and used for navigation. In addition, a General Accounting Office report released last year said that manufacturers' claims for the Tomahawk, Paveway, and other weapons were overstated. Boston Globe, Feb. 18, 1998 Bill Clinton's $100 Million Crusade Against Ken Starr by Charles R. Smith August was an expensive month for the U.S. taxpayer. For example, Bill Clinton shot $100 million on August 20, 1998 at "terrorist" sites in Sudan and Afghanistan. The 79 Tomahawk cruise missiles signaled a new "war" that Bill Clinton decided to declare on terrorism and not to be confused with the $100 million White House "war" on Ken Starr. The cost? Tomahawks cost about $1.4 to $2.1 million each, depending on the model. Moreover, the Tomahawk price tag does not reflect the price of conducting the strike such as logistics, planning, communications, ship, fuel, and sailor time. If one were to add in these figures - the actual strike cost about $1 billion. ... The Tomahawk strike also shows the Clinton administration is as number minded in its war as the Johnson administration was in Vietnam. Million dollar missiles on remote Afghan camps are likely to be no more successful than B-52s against the Ho Chi Minh trail. There is an over-emphasis of "damage assessment" with no regard to whether the bodies were enemy soldiers or innocent bystanders. There is no clear objective and no clear plan for victory. Lesson one learns at Sandia when one GETS THE RIGHT CLEARANCES is that US government creates its own business opportunities. Embassy Bombings Pakistan Gears to Midwife "Get Osama" Operation Will the U.S. Bomb Afghanistan? KARACHI: The arrest and the subsequent statement and evidence provided by a Palestinian arrested in Karachi, soon after his arrival from Nairobi, has pushed US investigators close to declare the Afghanistan-based Saudi millionaire Osama Bin Laden as the man behind the devastating bombings that killed more than 250 people in and around US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania on August 7, officials disclosed here and in interviews from Islamabad. ... The News International Pakistan, August 17, 1998 was SIMPLY GREAT for Sandia Labs business interests as evidenced by Robinsons August 19th view graphs. Osama Calls on Ummah to Continue Jehad Denies Involvement in Embassy Bombings PESHAWAR: Saudi dissident Osama Bin Laden for the first time on Thursday denied his involvement in the August 7 bombings at the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The 42-year-old Bin Laden contacted this correspondent on satellite phone at 9:00 pm on Thursday to convey his statement through another Islamic leader Dr Ayman Al-Zawahiri, head of Egyptian Islamic Jehad organisation which was held responsible for the murder of Egypt's president Anwar Sadaat. ... The News International Pakistan, August 21, 1998 Sandia supervisor James Gosler When Payne balked, his supervisor said Payne "did not choose his jobs. Rather, Sandia assigns duties to" him. http://www.jya.com/whp1.htm told us, There are some things the US government does that are SO SECRET they cant be CLASSIFIED. Post away ... and lets continue to hope for settlement of this unfortunate matter. http://www.aci.net/kalliste/speccoll.htm http://caq.com/cryptogate http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm http://www.qainfo.se/~lb/crypto_ag.htm bill
