Common, a CIA factsheet? Thats like saying politicians dont lie.

I beleive the term is "oxymoron." Besides, I didn't name the web page, it was just the first thing that came up on a Google search. FYI Google has branched out: Google news generated by computer algorithm rather than slanted human editors looks pretty cool so far^.

The last thing the Philippine Navy needs is an 8,000 ton destroyer. There is no money to operate it. I knew a Filipino Annapolis grad who returned home, then spent the rest of his career hiding from his old American classmates. "They might ask me to show them my ship." The ship was a WW 2 era Cannon-class DE. It never left the pier. It was in such pitiful condition he was always afraid they would try to take it out to sea. One day, the ship sank at pierside in a storm. The crew were eternally grateful. "Probably saved all our lives."

<< China wouldn't be ready for a few more years to faceoff against America directly. But the trend is that this is coming; the question is whether it will be 5 years or 10 years from now. >>

The Peking based Maoist mob of 250 mass-murdering gangster bastards that calls itself "china" will be ready to confront Our Beloved FRaternal Republic head on straight after the arabs are ready to take on Israel.

That is, some time, say a couple hundred years, after the Jiang Gang is able to lift its jackboot off the throat of its brutally enslaved medieval masses, whose per capita income is around USD$300.00 per year.

At present 1.25-billion population, "china's," much-vaunted peoples' liberation army would not dare even to set a foot on the FRee Republic of China's Taiwan.

For fear that Taiwan's 22 million FRee Men would kick the pla's arse all the way to Kunming or beyond, perhaps even to Llasa, capital of just one of the Sovereign Nations -- and 2 million square miles of other peoples' land -- invaded, conquered, colonized and brutally enslaved by Peking's lying, looting, thieving, mass-murdering, Maoist monsters!

The Filipino Navy never grew because we were in the PI. Then they stoped growing when we left.
