| US Rattles Chicoms by appointing AF General to head Pac Command |
| 2004-09-16 |
| From Geostrategy Direct, subscription req'd.... The appointment of an Air Force general to be the commander of the U.S. Pacific Command also has raised new Chinese worries about countering a U.S. strike. Our zoomies will give the Chicoms nights of fitful sleep. Air Force Gen. Gregory S. Martin is an advocate of the so-called Revolution in Military Affairs strategy that calls for high-technology weapons to defeat enemies. He and Rummy must have a cordial relationship. "He believes in the concept of going downtown," one U.S. official said. In the case of China, that means using long-range strike weapons to attack key strategic targets deep inside China. Like Three Gorges Dam, once an asset, could be a liability if the PLA gets frisky over Taiwan. I'm sure there is an OPLAN for this little engineering marvel. |
