well, let's see...

there was a deal Clinton strongarmed, in which some 40-odd top-of-the-line CNC VMCs with the requisite computers and software were transferred from Boeing to the "civilian aerospace industry" of the PRC.

Of course, there is no such thing as a "civilian" aerospace industry in Red China. All Chinese aerospace is fully nationalized, and there is no separation between their civil and military activities.

Of course, Clinton, through Ron Brown, had to adjust the national security based export restrictions on defense-application technology to allow this transfer to occur.

Of course, those machines, by the way, had been used in the production of the upgraded B1 bomber and the MX missile system.

Of course, a coalition of ex-Boeing workers had almost settled a deal with Boeing for that same equipment, offering more money for it than Clinton allowed Boeing to ask from the ChiComs.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with the millions of dollars contributed illegally to his reelection war chest and to his legal defense fund by the ChiComs through various front organizations < /sarcasm >

That's ONE.

Don't get me started on the Loral deal.
