In the language of Beltway defense wonkery, the results of this year's test launch of the hypersonic unmanned U.S. aircraft designated Falcon HTV-2 might be called sub-optimal. In plain English, it appears certain that the experimental space plane - a key element in U.S. efforts to develop a conventional weapon that can strike anywhere in the world in less than an hour - disintegrated and burned up in the upper atmosphere in a failure that casts a question mark over the program's future.
The B1-B bomber is the military's most grievous waste of resources. Its electronic countermeasures remain useless, it can carry only one type of conventional weapon, and its nuclear capability has evaporated. A refurbished fleet of B-52s is a much better investment.

[...] Ayatollah Khamenei, who succeeded Khomeini as Iran's supreme leader, came to use his position as commander-in-chief of the armed forces to expand his power. Israel's military is sui generis: a doctrinal admixture derivedfrom its defense against constant terrorism and conventional threats from neighboring Arab nations, equipped with nearly top-line American and European weapon systems. Among them are those most needed for a preemptive strike on Iran, such as GBU-28 bunker buster bombs, Apache attack helicopters, and design data on a stealthy version of the F-15 Eagle fighter-bomber.
ST. GEORGE -- Nearly 200 people crowded a conference room at Dixie Regional Medical Center this week to tell Sen. Orrin Hatch they want the federal government to expand its compensation program for victims of nuclear fallout and stop further weapons testing in Nevada. Michelle Thomas, who grew up in St. George and suffers from numerous health problems tied to radiation exposure, asked Hatch about the government's plans to test a massive conventional weapon at the test site on June 2.
Regnery discusses the possible consequences had Ronald Reagan been elected twenty years later. Stefan Halper and Jonathan Clarke, two highly astute observers and participants in the Washington scene, take a strong exception to the notion that Reagan's foreign policy legacy is still present, providing considerable argument that the Reagan concept of warfare was far less adventuresome than that advanced by the neoconservatives. On the other hand, Iraq had one of the largest inventories of weapons in the world and Saddam even paid for his weapons with the money he acquired from other countries for Iraq's oil product, yet with Saddam's conventional weapon, one has to wonder why, after building an arsenal of every kind of weapon, he would not have included atomic, biological, and chemical we...
According to a Sept. 29 press release, the quick-reaction force (QRF) aligns with the State Department's goal of dealing "with all explosive remnants of war, whether they are surplus, abandoned, hazardous, or residual conventional weapons, rather than one specific type of weapon or munitions." In a February white paper, the State Department argued that "[t]he campaign to ban cluster munitions has endeavored to elevate a single type of munition to infamy rather than addressing the continuing need to clean up all explosive remnants of war, the vast majority of which are not cluster munitions.
