In Hacked Audio, Hillary Clinton Rethinks Obama’s Nuclear Upgrade Plan
nytimes.com ^ | Sept 29 2016

Posted on 09/30/2016 1:25:50 AM PDT by Helicondelta

Hillary Clinton expressed doubts about whether the United States should go forward with a trillion-dollar modernization of its nuclear forces at a fund-raiser in February, questioning an Obama administration plan that she has remained largely silent on in public.

“The last thing we need,” she told the audience, “are sophisticated cruise missiles that are nuclear armed.”

Her comments were contained in an audio recording of the fund-raiser that appeared on the website of The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative publication, which said it was gleaned from the hack of a campaign staff member. But it said nothing about who did the hacking.

...

A former Defense Department official present at the fund-raiser, Andrew C. Weber, who raised the question about nuclear modernization, verified the contents of the tape, but also suggested its release was part of the same hacking campaign that exposed D.N.C. emails.

At this point, for her its not even about cash. She has plenty.

It’s purely a lust and greed for power. Her desire to become president is what’s keeping her alive.

Anyone at the fundraiser could have recorded the audio on their phone.

But, no Hillary fundraiser attendee would do such a think, they must have been hacked by the Russians. /sarc

Possibly DAARPA is working on hypersonic cruise missiles. Tomahawks while hellaciously accurate and low flying, barely exceed the speed of German V1s

If there’s a leak in Hillary’s cathador there going to blame the Russians.

They’ve got “...Russians on the brain.”

Makes me think there really is something coming from the hacking and they know it...or the extortion price is too high.

Putin should demand the Clinton Foundation donate $250 million to Russian school reading, math and science programs.

Those 2 events would be a good starting point.

We cannot see the future very well. Our leaders hate to admit it, but a great deal is out of our control. That is another’s job.

"The last thing we need,” she told the audience, “are sophisticated cruise missiles that are nuclear armed."

And yet...

"In her Saban Forum speech today, Hillary Clinton announced that if Iran breaks Obama’s deal that the USA must keep the Nuclear Option on the table.

Justice Breyer interjects, “correcting” her to say that the “Military Option” must remain on the table."

But who needs a modern military, right?

Well, God forbid Trump loses, we’ll all be called.

Going back to the couch, as comfy as it is, and the AC/Heat, and videos, will not be an option.

Mrs. Clinton also suggested she would be far tougher against foreign nations that hack into American computer networks and would kill one of the Pentagon’s pet projects, a nuclear-tipped cruise missile.

She doesn’t like hackers. She wants to make them pay for making her look like the corrupt liar that she is

Should Iran succeed in nuking the US from Cuba using Nork nukes, shouldn’t retaliaison involve US nukes?

#8. One thing you can be sure of in the next debate is that Anderson Cooper WILL NOT BE ALL OVER Martha Raddatz.

Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?

Isn’t this a very narrow case requiring B-52H in flight? Quite different from Tomahawk, that could be launched from a wide variety of systems.

The AGM-86B can also be carried by the B1B bomber. There have been non-nuclear AGM-86 variants.

The Tomahawk is an ingeniously aircraft with remarkable utility. The Air Force had their own BGM-109G version in the Ground Launched Cruise Missile in the 80's.

So what do you think about this new cruise missile that Hillary wants to cancel?

Haven’t been following it. If it follows the same trajectory other recent arms procurement programs, I wonder if after the usual budget cuts, enough will be built to be effective. Judging from the original post, clinton wants to abort it already.
