		<description><![CDATA[Two influential analysts told lawmakers on Capitol Hill this week that America’s strategic position in the world is eroding. America is losing its technological edge and is in deep financial trouble, while purchasing power is shifting from the West to Asia. Those trends cannot be undone, they warned, so the U.S. must adapt and seek greater cooperation with allies and establish “rules of the road” with potential rivals.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The man at the pointy end of the spear of missile defense and of nuclear weapons warned today that the US must carefully weigh any increase in missile defense -- particularly on the West Coast -- to avoid triggering a "destabilizing" reaction by the Peoples Republic of China. "We have to be cautious about missile defense...[which] can be destabilizing if you are not careful," said Air Force Gen. Kevin Chilton, commander of Strategic Command and one of the military’s brightest brains. When the US places anti-ballistic missile assets on the West Coast,  "What does it make the Chinese think...?" he asked.]]></description>

But that is exactly what is happening as a result of the conflict of interest provisions written into the bill. Proof of that came this weekend with Northrop Grumman's announcement that it was unloading its TASC unit and selling it for $1.65 billion in cash to an investor group.]]></description>

General Xu Qiliang said that, "As far as the revolution in military affairs is concerned, the competition between military forces is moving towards outer space... this is a historical inevitability and a development that cannot be turned back.'']]></description>

Now Northrop Grumman is developing a fast, broad-area radar that may give analysts better tools to work with.]]></description>
