JOPES is noncompliant! Better not have a war.greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread |
"The computer system used by the White House and top commanders to plan and execute major military missions has not proven ready for 2000, the Pentagons inspector general said in a report released Friday.""'JOPES is the foundation of conventional command and control,' the auditors wrote. "Therefore, it is a likely target for information-warfare attacks. It is imperative that the unified commands have complete operational contingency plans to allay the problems triggered by a JOPES failure caused by either Y2K-related problems or by information- warfare attacks." However, the report said, neither the Joint Staff nor commands in Europe, the Pacific, the Middle East and elsewhere have adequate contingency plans ready in the event the Y2K bug disables the JOPES system. The Joint Staff agreed and is formulating such a plan."

Hmmmm. I guess it fell into the cracks that exists between 'mission critical' and 'amazing progress'

It just scares the hell out of me. Have met and conversed with all the presidents back to Ford, and this one we have now just plain scares me. God help us.

<<<<< Clinton is the one who will undoubtedly PRESIDE over the destruction of the U.S.A. God isn't helping us, because Clinton's true character is very visible and not enough of his CONstituents (those he's conned) seem to care.
