China arming terrorists

New intelligence reveals China is covertly supplying large quantities of small arms and weapons to insurgents in Iraq and the Taliban militia in Afghanistan, through Iran.

U.S. government appeals to China to check some of the arms shipments in advance were met with stonewalling by Beijing, which insisted it knew nothing about the shipments and asked for additional intelligence on the transfers. The ploy has been used in the past by China to hide its arms-proliferation activities from the United States, according to U.S. officials with access to the intelligence reports.

Some arms were sent by aircraft directly from Chinese factories to Afghanistan and included large-caliber sniper rifles, millions of rounds of ammunition, rocket-propelled grenades and components for roadside bombs, as well as other small arms.

The Washington Times reported June 5 that Chinese-made HN-5 anti-aircraft missiles were being used by the Taliban.

According to the officials, the Iranians, in buying the arms, asked Chinese state-run suppliers to expedite the transfers and to remove serial numbers to prevent tracing their origin. China, for its part, offered to transport the weapons in order to prevent the weapons from being interdicted.

The weapons were described as "late-model" arms that have not been seen in the field before and were not left over from Saddam Hussein's rule in Iraq.

U.S. Army specialists suspect the weapons were transferred within the past three months.

The Bush administration has been trying to hide or downplay the intelligence reports to protect its pro-business policies toward China, and to continue to claim that China is helping the United States in the war on terrorism.

well you’re the the poly sci major ‘round here...
just how long do you think it will take for America & Americans to wise up, secure our borders, deport ALL illegals including the foreign muzzies and tell the rest of the world “hey fellas, we’re tired of fighting your wars for ya...from now on, you’re gonna have to take the training wheels off and fend for yourselves...cause we’re finally gonna take George Washington’s advice and keep our noses out of other countries’ issues.”

[kellynla]

“Anything to get them to pay attention to this”

With every day that passes, I am becoming more and more of an isolationist...
what the Chicoms do in their country is becoming less and less of an interest to me...
but when the Chicoms start selling arms to the muzzies, well then that is an entirely different issue...
we should institute a trade embargo with China and do it NOW!
Let the Chicoms keep their poisoned tooth paste & pet food...
I’m sure we and our pets will live longer for it...
and I AM SURE my fellow Marines & GI’s will appreciate us not doing business with a country who is profiting by selling arms to our enemies!!!

Even though we had a hand in creating the situation?

I 100% agree.

>>>I AM SURE my fellow Marines & GI’s will appreciate us not doing business with a country who is profiting by selling arms to our enemies!!!

100% agree as a citizen.

[Ooh-Ah]

Also from Gertz:

John Tkacik, a former State Department official now with the Heritage Foundation, said the Chinese arms influx "continues 10 years of willful blindness in both Republican and Democrat administrations to China's contribution to severe instability in the Middle East and South Asia."

There is only ONE candidate that treats China as the enemy of America. His name is Duncan Hunter. We need this man as CIC. No one else comes close.

[SE Mom]

Unbelieveable ping.

[SE Mom]

bttt

[upsdriver]

Looks like Duncan Hunter is on the cutting edge of another issue. Light years ahead of the other candidates. but, alas, he can’t win.

So sayeth the naysayers.

[twigs]

I agree. I find it so frustrating that the MSM continues calling him second-tier. Even Fox and the conservative radio talk show hosts do it.

Disturbing????????????? It is a act of war.

[pissant]

Cripplecreek told me yesterday that he watched Fred, Mort and Brit on the roundtable recently talking about China’s malfeasance -— and they had the disgusting NERVE to say no one in the GOP is addressing China. Dumb bastards.

[texastoo]

All of this done in the names of free trade and interdependency.

Kind of hard to see when you aren't looking in the right place....
