We need a comprehensive civil defense program with the immediate restocking and identifying existing Cold War era shelters and tax incentives for new shelters to be built, supplies purchased and much more.

Both the Chinese and the Russians have massive civil defense programs because they are aware that someday they will need them to protect their populations and industries from a retalitory U.S. strike following their planned first strikes against us. Anyone who believes that the Cold War is over and we are not the primary target of thousands of nuclear warheads is simply foolish. Nothing has changed and in the past few years both Russian and Chinese intentions to destroy us have vastly increased while our “leaders” did nothing.

Right now, eight long years after 9-11 we are still completely unprotected and vulnerable to attack from our traditional enemies and many terror groups.

I proposed a Civil Defense Improvement Act in 2006 but despite all members of Congress receiving a copy of it not one offered to sponsor it. Perhaps they feel no need to protect their citizens since they all have space in government owned shelters.

Agreed, there must be a response capability to try and minimize the damage.

At the same time, here’s hoping that there will be some time and effort expended on finding out where these guys are and moving to minimalize their activities and reduce the threat…

Notice I didn’t say “take ‘em out!!”

Although… Maybe that’s not a bad idea either. Set the example early. What a unique concept.
