As found in Neo-Con's blog:
China has secretly fired powerful laser weapons designed to disable American spy satellites by "blinding" their sensitive surveillance devices, it was reported yesterday.
The hitherto unreported attacks have been kept secret by the Bush administration for fear that it would damage attempts to co-opt China in diplomatic offensives against North Korea and Iran.
Sources told the military affairs publication Defense News that there had been a fierce internal battle within Washington over whether to make the attacks public. In the end, the Pentagon's annual assessment of the growing Chinese military build-up barely mentioned the threat.
"After a contentious debate, the White House directed the Pentagon to limit its concern to one line," Defense News said.
What the story does NOT say is whether the Commies' attacks on our satellites were successful. I guess we'll find out someday, maybe, kinda...
For whatever reason, GWB's Boyzzz have been playing patty-cake with Red China for quite a while--allowing them to manipulate trade regulations and currency in their favor (eviscerating the industrial base of the USA in the process,) and pretending that Red China will be a really nice ally when everyone there becomes a rich capitalist.
Meanwhile, PRC's slavemasters/nomenklatura continue to traffic in human body-parts and slaughter or imprison "internal enemies" such as Roman Catholic priests and Falun Gong believers.
Tell us about "human rights" again, please...
Let's give them more money, that might help.
ReplyDeleteWe will give them $235 billion this year--their trade surplus.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a few bucks...
