Amerika in space

I’ve written a couple of blogs about Amerika wanting to militarize space. The desire to militarize space has driven the Missile defense program while using North Korea as the threat to defend a trillion dollar budget. This Neocon wet dream fantasy was seen in the Project for the New American Century. The fundamental essence of PNAC's ideology can be found in a White Paper produced isn September of 2000 entitled "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century." In it, PNAC outlines what is required of America to create the global empire they envision. According to PNAC, America must:
* Reposition permanently based forces to Southern Europe, Southeast Asia and the Middle East;
* Modernize U.S. forces, including enhancing our fighter aircraft,
submarine and surface fleet capabilities;
* Develop and deploy a global missile defense system, and develop a strategic dominance of space;
* Control the "International Commons" of cyberspace;
• Increase defense spending to a minimum of 3.8 percent of gross domestic product, up from the 3 percent currently spent.

And now we see Amerika wants very much to militarize space.

US adopts tough new space policy
The US has adopted a tough new policy aimed at protecting its interests in space and denying "adversaries" access there for hostile purposes.
The document - signed by President Bush - also says "freedom of action in space is as important to the United States as air power and sea power".

The document rejects any proposals to ban space weapons.

But the White House has said the policy does not call for the development or deployment of weapons in space.

However, some military experts warn that by refusing to enter into negotiations on space weaponry, the US is likely to fuel international suspicions that it will develop such weapons.
