That should be no surprise since Clinton gutted the intelligence agencies.
Deployment of a new attack submarine known as the Yuan class that was missed by U.S. intelligence until photos of the submarine appeared on the Internet.
I feel better now.
Why is it that I have known about this for at least 10 years but yet intelligence agancies didn't? BS.
Let me guess...they have better missles to shoot at us because Clinton gavethem the technology. They have better nuclear bombs because they had spies at Los Alamos Clinton never caught.
We've been talking about the Chinese building in this forum for the last 6+ years. Any "analyst" who missed this is a moron. This is more like political CYA for limp wristed wimps who finally realize that we've got to challenge the Chinese on their own terms over Taiwan -- and that means WAR.
According to officials familiar with the intelligence report, the word "surprise" is used more than a dozen times to describe U.S. failures to anticipate or discover Chinese arms development.
A metal scrap dealer told me a few years ago that he was expanding his business because demand for his precious and non-precious metals was huge. The buyers were Chinese. He said the last time a foreign country (Japan) bought up all USA's metals, they built war machines to attack us. He said China was readying to do this to USA again. History repeats itself, and we're supposed to be surprised?
It was easy to miss the Chinese military buildup during the Clinton years when Bill and Hill never missed their deliveries of sacks of cash from Johnny Chung. Why is this never mentioned in these articles? We all remember who was in office ten years ago.
