Excerpt:
Lest we forget, our good friends in China sold C-802 missiles to Iran in 1996 and subsequently.
The Clinton administration announced they wouldn’t call for sanctions, since they didn’t see this as a destabilizing action on the part of China and Iran:
Testifying in April, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Robert Einhorn said the law "does provide for a substantial list of actions" against anyone providing Iran or Iraq with destabilizing numbers or types of conventional weapons, or assisting them in the acquisition of weapons of mass destruction. The administration has maintained since March 1996 that China’s sale of the C802 Silkworm land and sea-launched anti-ship missile to Iran are not sufficiently destabilizing in numbers or type to trigger sanctions.
And Bill Clinton was the most intelligent President ever.
One more clinton era mess for W to clean up.
Its a good find. I am sure Russert and his ilk will be grilling halfbright tomorrow am about it /sarcasm
The evil US could not be trusted to be the lone superpower, therefore we had to sell nuclear/guidance and weapons technology to our enemies to counter the threat we posed to the world.
I have a vague recollection that the Clinton Admin wanted someone else to be strong to 'keep the USA in check'. Bill Clinton.......the President most destructive to our country.
Way to go, Bill.
