Political Quotes

“the recent release of the Cox report on the Chinese espionage at our nuclear laboratories has put on the public record a number of bombshells. The crown jewel of our nuclear arsenal, design of the W-88 warhead, has been stolen by the Chinese Communists. Even more amazing is that nothing was done about it after it was discovered in 1995. Chinese Communist penetration of our nuclear secrets is almost total. The response from the White House? "Everybody does it" and "Let's not overreact." I can hardly imagine how one could possibly say, "Let's not overreact." What could possibly be worse than losing the single most valuable nuclear secret we have? And as for the everybody-does-it defense when confronted by scandal, the charge is false. It is a lie. President Ronald Reagan did not arm China with our best military technology, and President Reagan did not silence anyone inside the executive branch who dared challenge this policy. But this is exactly what has happened during this administration.”
