National Missile Defense in Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia National Missile Defense and Canada An archive of excerpted documents pertaining to NMD with a strong focus on Canada. In Canada, there is a heated debate over participation in the U.S. missile defense program. They contend that it is important for Canada to reestablish its voice in the international arena by pushing for global disarmament and a revitalization of the United Nations. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_Missile_Defense_in_Canada

National Missile Defense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia National Missile Defense (NMD) is a military strategy that has been discussed in the United States since the 1960s. National Missile Defense System - A short critique of the NMD scheme by Noam Chomsky (published in the American Prospect). Clinton's War on Missile Defense - A conservative critique of missile defense opposition. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_Missile_Defense

Shield of Dreams: Why National Missile Defense Won't Work The strenuous objections to national missile defense by both our friends and potential enemies, which may delay the programs, and severe technical problems, leave time for genuine debate of a strategic system which, if deployed, will leave this country and the world considerably less secure than it was before. Technical evaluation of the testing of national missile defense was complicated by the fact that testing often was conducted in situations considerably simpler than would be presented in reality. Consideration of national missile defense requires that it be seen as one, not the only means, of dealing with any apparent missile threat, and that its cost be considered competitive with other options. www.ciponline.org /dfd/shield.htm

International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War Even though missile defense tests have failed spectacularly, the critical question is not whether a missile defense might someday be technically feasible but whether deployment would increase or decrease the risk of nuclear war. Missile defense or not, people everywhere will remain profoundly vulnerable as long as there are nuclear weapons in the world. Second, deployment of a missile defense could unravel decades of painstaking efforts to restrain the nuclear arms race through a web of treaties, and it could do so at a time when building on that progress is eminently possible. www.ippnw.org /NMDOpEdGlobe501.html

AllRefer.com - Strategic Defense Initiative (Military Affairs (nonnaval)) - Encyclopedia The program is administered by the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (until 1993 the Strategic Defense Initiative Office), a separate agency in the U.S. Dept. of Defense.

Missile Defense News at SPACEWAR.com With the failure of the latest test of the U.S. national missile defense system in December, the Pentagon seems to now be engaged in semantic gymnastics, declining to say whether the system is operational or not, and suggesting it never promised it would be. Canada said Thursday it will not participate in a US plans to deploy a missile defense shield covering North America. US missile defense programs are beset by rising costs and budget shortfalls that are likely to grow worse in the coming years, an audit by a congressional agency warned Thursday. www.spacewar.com /missiledefense.html

National Missile Defense Questions The November 1995 National Intelligence Estimate (NIE 95-19) "Emerging Missile Threats to North America During the Next 15 Years" aroused much controversy and was attacked especially by advocates of deployment of a National Missile Defense. Whether to deploy a National Missile Defense (NMD) of the U.S. I believe that support for the deployment of a National Missile Defense for the United States is of four types: One of its missiles in development, the Taepo Dong 2, is assessed to have a range of 4,000 to 6,000 kilometers. www.fas.org /rlg/w023nmd2.htm

pb70.htm National missile defense opponents and proponents are likely to view our proposal for a limited, two-tier defense as being either too much or too little for American security. Michael E. O'Hanlon is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and the co-author, with James Lindsay, of the forthcoming book, Defending America: The Case for Limited National Missile Defense. The threat of missile proliferation is real, if still incipient; the technology to provide at least some defensive capability is becoming available; and plausible scenarios in which the United States would benefit from national missile defense (NMD) exist. www.brookings.edu /comm/policybriefs/pb70.htm

Paul Martin Time: Does Martin Know What National Missile Defense Is? Paul Martin has said (and many Liberals agree) that when he is Prime Minister, Canada will join the US plan for "National Missile Defense". Effective ballistic missile defenses will be the central element in the exercise of American power and the projection of U.S. military forces abroad. Ultimately, the real rationale for missile defense is to protect U.S. forces so they can engage in military intervention throughout the world to enforce a Pax Americana—a strategy of empire by another name. paulmartintime.ca /story/000010.html

Global Network - Space Alert Newsletter #16 The Bush administration, for example, is requesting $982 million for its National Nanotechnology Initiative in 2005, $276 million of which is earmarked for the Department of Defense (compared to $89 million for the National Institutes of Health, $5 million for agriculture, and $1 million for homeland security). The Bush administration is also exploring the possibility of expanding the emerging missile defense system into Eastern Europe as an element in the strategic containment of Russia, China and the Middle East. Oil-rich Iran is to be encircled by missile defense posts in Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Iraq, and Afghanistan. www.space4peace.org /newsletter/gnnews16.htm

Canada's Martin addresses national security, keeps mum on US missile defense plan "We're talking about the defense of North America, and whether you agree with the missile defense, whether you think it's practically feasible or not -- the fact is when you're talking about the defense of North America, Canada has to be at the table," he stressed. But Martin, speaking with reporters here, declined to say whether he was in favor of or against the United States' plans for an international missile defense system. Under stage one of the US missile defense system, US President George W. Bush envisions placing some 20 interceptors in Alaska and at a California air base next September, ahead of the 2004 US presidential election. www.spacewar.com /2003/031115195432.un8b6a3r.html

Politics Behind Missile Defense / Public Interest Report - FAS The new President will probably undertake a broad review of national security programs, to include missile defense, and might delay construction in Alaska pending review completion. During the 1980s, critics charged that missile defenses would prove unworkable, concerns that were validated by the poor performance of Patriot in Desert Storm. In 1967, Defense Secretary MacNamara delivered a famous speech that outlined the various hazards and shortcomings of missile defense and concluded by announcing the Administration's decision to deploy the Sentinel missile defense system. www.fas.org /faspir/v52m6a.htm

BUILDING BETTER RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN COUNTRIES Canada is a major contributor to the global arms trade and has a high military budget, of which peacebuilding is a very small fraction. Canada, France and the majority of U.N countries and the world is trying to be a true friend trying to warn the U.S. not to go to war. While Canada has officially renounced nuclear weapons, we contribute to their development in several ways--through making components, allowing them to be tested over Canadian airspace, and mostly, through the sale of uranium. www.peace.ca /canusa.htm

Missile Defense Under the Bush administration, missile defenses have received $7 billion to $9 billion annually, and the FY05 budget request is more than $10 billion. The United States is currently attempting to develop several components of a missile defense system designed to protect U.S. territory from attack by long-range (strategic) ballistic missiles. Bush administration, however, is giving this problem a fraction of the attention and funding being given to missile defense. www.ucsusa.org /global_security/missile_defense/index.cfm

OpinionEditorials.com — Missile Defense: Not Just About Shooting Stuff - Marsden Focusing solely on the end result of the missile defense program is short-sighted ignorance that will cost Canada opportunities and, ultimately, priceless national pride. Canada’s economy could have used its partnership in the journey towards a successful missile defense venture to stimulate similar innovations. It is arrogant and degrading to assume that missile defense opponents in this same province would not alter their current position on the issue if it was explained to them how important a role the missile defense program could play with respect to these key aspects of their economy. www.opinioneditorials.com /freedomwriters/rmarsden_20050305.html   (1195 words)

Polaris Institute - Corporate-Security State Project In a document posted on the Internet, Defence Research and Development called for an upgraded portable version of the High Frequency Surface Wave Radar to be used in "missile detection trials" run by the U.S. Missile Defense Agency in August. The Department of National Defence is being accused of doing an "end run" around its political masters with newly divulged plans to participate in testing of the United States' controversial missile defence shield. But the Defence Department issued tentative contracts worth $700,000 last week to test Canadian radar technology in U.S.-run trials of the missile shield this summer, though the radar's maker says there is no evidence it can be used for such work. www.polarisinstitute.org /polaris_project/corp_security_state/Opinions_interviews/feb_16_2004.htm   (677 words)

SceneandHeard.ca Ronald Regan’s 1983 Star Wars Missile Defense program fell apart, but under George W. Bush there are renewed plans for Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD), most importantly the National Missile Defence Program. A debate is raging quietly in Ottawa over the legitimacy of a vote in the House of Commons about whether or not Canada will join the U.S.-led Ballistic Missile defence program. Staples refuted these points: “A statement made by an unnamed official in the U.S. State Department said, ‘Coverage for Canada (by BMD) would be incidental.’” www.sceneandheard.ca /article.php?id=797   (677 words)

Cheyenne Mountain Complex Supporting the NORAD mission, CMOC provides warning of ballistic missile or air attacks against North America, assists the air sovereignty mission for the U.S. and Canada, and if necessary, serves as the focal point for air defense operations to counter enemy bombers or cruise missiles. It is the central collection and coordination center for a worldwide system of satellites, radars, and sensors that provide early warning of any missile, air, or space threat to North America. Apart from the fact that it is housed 2,000 feet underground, CMOC is also different from most military units because it’s a joint and bi-national military organization comprised of over 200 professional men and women from the Army, Navy, Marine, Air Force, and Canadian Forces. p218.ezboard.com /ftheweeklygamefrm18   (677 words)
