The number one threat to US forces in the Pacific is....CLIMATE CHANGE!

via The Boston Globe.

CAMBRIDGE — America’s top military
officer in charge of monitoring hostile
actions by North Korea, escalating
tensions between China and Japan,
and a spike in computer attacks traced
to China provides an unexpected
answer when asked what is the biggest
long-term security threat in the Pacific
region: climate change.
Navy Admiral Samuel J. Locklear III,
in an interview at a Cambridge hotel
Friday after he met with scholars at
Harvard and Tufts universities, said
significant upheaval related to the
warming planet “is probably the most likely thing that is going to
happen . . . that will cripple the security environment, probably more
likely than the other scenarios we all often talk about.’’
Quite honestly I'd like to be shocked but I'm not.

The Pentagon and every General Officer that's got a Combatant Command has been vetted, drank the cool and believe the doctrine of the Obama Administration.

Accordingly it would have been a surprise IF he had stated China.  That he said climate change just confirms that he's probably angling for a seat on the Joint Chiefs.
