WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States has determined that despite numerous requests China has become a major supplier of weaponry to Iran and Sudan.

Officials said China has sold major weapons and components to oil-producing countries in the Middle East banned from receiving Western defense systems. They said Beijing has rebuffed U.S. appeals to halt the weapons supplies.

China has supplied components and expertise to Iran's weapons of mass destruction and missile programs, officials said. They said some of the Chinese components have arrived via Pakistan, another key ally of Beijing.

And yet Red China apparently has a more favorable rating in most of Europe than the USA (not to mention our enemies in the Middle East). I wonder what it will take before our idiotic politicians (both left and right) wake up to the fact that WE are allowing one of our worst enemies (Red China) to use our own economy against us???

The core Axis countries supply the Islamist periphery. We need to follow Bodansky's advice and go after the sponsoring states.

Either we will develop a plan to preemptively attack the core Axis countries soon, or, we'll end up doing like we did in WW2 and wait for them to attack us directly. Thus far, they've only attacked by proxy.

Don't forget the food chain here: Israel sells US tech to China, who then resells it to Israel's and our enemies. Smart, eh?

Add North Korea to the list.
