CIA: Russia, China at Most Y2K Risk

Quote:

"Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., who heads the Senate Y2K panel with Sen. Robert Bennett, R-Utah, said that ``in the spirit of self-preservation, we are chiefly concerned with the potential for cascading failures which could land on American shores.''"

Wrong again, Dodd. In fact, we ought to just replace him with Davis, who has a much better grip on the whole situation.

If Russia is toast, so is Germany.

If Germany is toast, so is Europe.

If Europe is toast...anything happen to the US?

If China is toast...anything happen to the US?

Anybody who cares to ask me why better be ready.

Take care

The CIA has consistently reported Y2K failures in a manner much more pessimistic than the US Govt. in general has. Read the details of this article to see for yourself.

I am getting the impression of a government blowing hot and cold at the same time.
