I have a very hard time believing China was involved. Why on earth would they risk igniting a global war? Launching a ballistic missile off the coast of the United States is extremely reckless and provocative. There seems to be an irrational military fear of China around here. China’s strengths are purely economical in nature. They are indeed engaged in an economic war with the United States. A military war is America’s strength and the Chinese will not do the U.S. a favor by playing into her strengths. China wants to be the global superpower of the 21st century and beyond and she achieves that by squeezing America’s economy into submission, not by inviting a military attack that would surely knock China into the 18th century.
Under no circumstance would the United States allow a foreign military to launch rockets or missiles so close to our coast, not even Imam Hussein Obama. He would immediately address the nation on the matter, he would address the UN on the matter, our allies would condemn the action of the aggressor, and other general global alarms and reactions would ensue. Rightfully so. There is no way such warlike action would be kept secret.
I will not be convinced and you should not buy into the nonsense. China was not involved.
I’ve seen it on fr that it was everything from a US SLBM, China one, North Korean, a SAM, and that bigfoot was responsible.
Some of those people were serious too.
If you want to give the left and argument to point and laugh at the right, keep up this insanity.
What? I could clearly read Chinese characters on the side of the missle.
Roughly translated, it said, "Eat My Shorts, American Dog"
“Why on earth would they risk igniting a global war? “
Because they know how to play the game and lives have little value to them.
I doubt very much that China did it, either. It would be reckless. I would not rule them out, though. And as for Hussein not allowing it, need we remind everyone that an American president allowed a TWA flight to be blown out of the air, with dozens of eyewitnesses, and then claimed that it was a defect in the fuel lines. He didn’t want to confront whoever did that, either. Hussein is more squeamish than Clinton ever was, which is saying something, because Clinton was a major woos.
