It was Colin Powell who recently inserted his foot into his mouth by stating: "a reunification that all parties are seeking" and his comment that self-ruled Taiwan "is not independent" drew praise from Beijing and stunned Taipei. The Taiwanese feared that U.S. policy had changed and that Washington was starting to pressure the democratic island to join China.

We will not have this kind of BS from Sec. Rice.

No. It is the entire Administration including President Bush himself who made anti-Taiwan comments in the presence of China's "President" Hu Jintao.

This decision to support China and criticize Taiwan actually originated almost a year ago in the Condi Rice side of the administration.
