THE IMPERIAL PRESIDENCY
Clinton plans to
reduce nukes by half
Proposal to be acted upon
without congressional approval

President Clinton is planning to cut U.S. nuclear
warheads by half before he leaves office, U.S. military
and congressional sources have told WorldNetDaily.
Sources on Capitol Hill and in the Pentagon confirm that
the president intends to use his executive authority as
armed forces commander to order the cut without
congressional approval.
According to military sources, the proposal is "being
floated" by the White House inside the Pentagon. The
public affairs office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for U.S.
Armed Forces was unable to confirm or deny the
report.
The Washington Times reported yesterday that Rep.
Curt Weldon, R-Pa., sharply criticized any attempt by
Clinton to make cuts in the nuclear arsenal without
consulting Congress.
"I am dismayed and alarmed that the Clinton
administration would be proposing unilateral action
on the part of the U.S. that could undermine both
America's security and the strategic balance
between the United States and Russia," Weldon
said, as reported by the Times.
"It was evident from the outset that Clinton will sign any
arms reduction agreement before he leaves office,"
stated Adm. Thomas Moorer.
"Congress is in no mood for this. I don't think he can get
away with it, but it's his hope to make some sort of
special arms agreement with the Russians. Clinton is
ready to make any deal with Putin," said Moorer in an
interview from his home in Maryland.
Moorer is a former chairman of the joint chiefs; chief of
naval operations; commander in chief, Pacific Fleet;
supreme allied commander, Atlantic; and commander in
chief, Atlantic Fleet.
The move by Clinton to directly cut the U.S. arsenal
would challenge Congress but avoid a direct
confrontation over any specific treaty that would have to
be passed by the Senate. Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C.,
has already informed the White House that he intends to
stop any major foreign policy initiatives by the president.
President Clinton is reported to have informed the Joint
Chiefs of Staff that he has decided to make the move in
order to convince Russia to accept a limited U.S.
anti-missile defense. Moorer, however, noted that
President Clinton has not supported a missile defense
for America.
"We should have had an anti-missile system a long time
ago," stated Moorer.
The move to reduce U.S.
weapons to one half
current levels, or roughly
1,000 nuclear warheads,
is not viewed favorably by
the U.S. military. The
Department of Defense
officially endorses a level
of 2,500 warheads as
adopted in an agreement
between President Clinton
and Boris Yeltsin during the 1997 summit in Helsinki,
Finland.
In early May, Russia proposed a 1,000-missile limit
during START III talks in Moscow. According to U.S.
defense estimates, Russian missile forces will continue to
decline for the next four years before leveling off at
1,000 missiles.
The latest Russian missile,
the SS-27 Topol-M, is
currently being deployed
at reduced levels due to
funding shortages in the
Russian military. Russia
has so far deployed two
squadrons of SS-27
missiles, for a total of 20
such systems, in the Sakarov area south of Moscow.
