Ping...
When does anyone see some other nation being in the same Super power status as the USA ?
Good quote!
Thanks for the ping!
The Soviets also had a lot of sympathetic Western Socialists stealing technology for them.

The infamous yellow fever strike yet another victim.

Bump.
Say hello to Frank Gaffney for me. Our best hope would be if there was a seminal moment where "the scales fell off" Condoleeza Rice and GWB's eyes as to the true enormity of the problem, and the need for a "Reaganesque" response:
I.e., a 4-prong multi-track confrontational approach, with diplomatic, technological...and capital flow...isolation of China... spearheaded by the CIA as did William Casey against the USSR. He remains an unsung genius for his portion of the successful destruction of the Soviet Union...with the singular exception of Peter Schweitzer's excellent book, "Victory".
As you likely know, the languishing reputation of Casey is largely because of Xlinton-positioned ignoramusses in high places still refusing to acknowledge the Reagan administration with its rightful claim to the accomplishment...a case in point, Thomas Barnett. As we say, what a Marooon! [ At least Rummy finally must have realized it and terminated Barnett's contract with the Navy War College this December. ]
The Center for Security Policy used to have a healthy section devoted to Casey-type capital/securities/energy analysis. That has been largely abandoned the last few years I note. Might I make a plug for its restoration?
Then lastly, we actually need something more than lip-service from GWB about liberty. We need him to "put his money where his mouth is" and go to China and campaign for it to the school students under the noses of the enemy...and confront the evils of oppression of liberty. We need a strident effort to also not just defend Taiwan's right to freedom, reversing GWB's acceptance of the 3-No's, but a REJECTION of their right to subjugate Tibet as well. We need GWB to go to Tibet, and basically say to the People, Mr. Prime Minister, if you love peace and freedom, tear down your secret police and your occupation force! Tear down this new "great wall of China".
Thanks for the ping!
Pinging.
Please do not ping me again.
Thought you may have something to contribute about the Katrina Leung double-triple-agent case.
I'm not playing in your pool anymore, so quit pinging me.
Excellent article! I, for one, certainly hope our government wakes up to this profound threat. There are far too many people in far too many positions of influence who take national security far too lightly.
Ping.
