<< .... the [United States] Military is already fully extended in Iraq. >>
I wouldn't bet on that if I was you, Mr Murdoch's Mr Sheridan.
And I'd advise you to tell your perverted little matey, Kim Jong-Il, not to bet on it too.
but isn't China being foolish to allow Jihadists to get their hands on nukes (thought the rumour is al Queda tried to buy nukes from the Chinese and the only reason the Chinese said no was the fact their nukes could be traced back)
a stable world economy is in their own best interests and while they are not No. 1 on the Islamist hit list, they are apostates in the eyes of the Wahhabbis
and lest we forget India (which does care about Hindu hating Jihadists getting their hands on nukes, after all they hate Hindus even more than Westerners) is China's biggest trading partner at the moment, you'd want to keep India happy I would think, heaven forbid if a Chinese nuke ended up used on India.....or Russia for that matter......
