Good question. Maybe China directly.

..Maybe Indonesia, Malaysia or Philippines Islamic strongholds.

More likely, defending Taiwan may be the issue at hand.

I have this burning in my gut that says we are going to be watching missile strikes on CONUS during the war with China. Lets hope that it isn't more than a six hour war.

I think it will be a biological attack or dirty bomb on CONUS before any major nuclear attack..I think it will the Islamists will be first, indirectly partially funded by China and Russia

I can easily imagine them attacking one of our ships with a small bio nuke. One of those ones that is a short term thing, 10 or 20 years. Probably during a rainstorm which presumably, would push most of the nasty stuff into the ocean. Just enough to say, 'hey we're on the planet too and you had better straighten out your act.'

Have you ever asked yourself why the United States would (a) join an organization led by Communists,
(b) where Democracy is not the goal of all members,
(c) why the US Congress would promote treaties that disolve our sovereignty and independence from Communism,
(d) why not one elected legislator stands up to tell you the truth about their intentions of support for the UN goals,
(e)why our military is ordered to join with the UN Forces,
(f) why Michael New was convicted for refusing to wear a UN emblem on his US Army uniform.
(g) why the United States si the largest donor to the UN Budget,
(h) why the truth isn't being screamed by our "Patriots", ex military men, Senator McCain and President Bush,
(i)why we are so damn stupid and keep walking right into these burning fires?

How many times do we have to get burned before we will do something?

Feeling extra bitter tonight? I wouldn't be surprised if it were Socrates who began using the term "state" to apply to countries. Certainly Machiavelli did. China has been so backward that our presidents have seemed to underestimate their potential. But they're intelligent people, and they have empire on the brain.

I have to agree here. I doubt that the Chinese people want it. We certainly don't. We need to improve our PR so that people around the world, including the Chinese, have a better understanding of what we're doing. The Europeans and the Saudis must not be allowed to continue shaping world opinion about the USA. I think President Bush's state of the union was a step in the right direction with the brave Iraqi woman hugging the parents of the Marine who died to liberate her country, just after she went on national TV with an inked finger held high and proud. Americans are not imperialists. We could share the world with as many other Americas or similar powers as could exist. We cannot share the world with the tyrants in China. They must be stopped. Boeing is pouring gasoline on the fire.

No, that's not a UN promoting outfit. The UN is the source of damn near every one of our current problems.

>>Boeing is pouring gasoline on the fire.<<

The UN Charter has a piece in it about 'sharing sophisticated technology'. Boeing isn't doing anything that the globaists don't want them to do.

The Committee members who approved the sale are the criminals.

I wonder how much they have been promised, paid, or threatened?

Do the Chinese have submarines that carry nuclear tipped missiles with multiple warheads? If they don't I'm sure Vladimir Putin will sell them a few... for the right price of course.

When Nixon signed the ESA, EPA and the rest of it, he put a financial chokehold on American industry that was stronger than anything I ever thought was possible in a 'free nation'.

That was the day that I started losing sleep over just who was in control of our government. As I watched the Reps give apeasement after apeasement to the Dims to get these damn treaties passed I started cussing all politicians because it was so obvious ...to me at least, that they were all traitors.

Freedom will prevail because the people want it that way.

The aged ones do. I've had short friendships with the some of the students and they just want freedom from the dictatorship.

Wall Street is not inherently patriotic. If its success is 100% interdependent on western liberty, why doesn't it pay its dues? Oh sure, it does with invisible ways. But other times it robs us blind while it sells us out.
