And the Administration is also trying to kill off the DD(X), the F-22...and maybe even the F-35 (which is a flying pig farm)...all while whistling in the dark about China reforming itself.

[Paul Ross]

Twenty years? I don't think so. These guys always put the number way out so as not to encourage or embolden the bad guys, but the real number is always a lot more near-term. Try 8 or 10. Maybe less.

Taiwan needs to become a nuclear power.

......Navy Officer Warns of Chinese Communist Subs .....being built in Colorado?

/sdarcasm

[WHBates]

It's off the subject but Big Al was the best officer I ever worked for.

[KC_Conspirator]

Yes. I sometimes wonder who the eff is running things. There are many people who don't think China is a threat, despite their numerous and recent threats to nuke our cities. Hell, I had one moron here on FR tell me that China was "not really communist".

[SmithL]

One active ping

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I suspect they already are to some extent.

Taiwan needs to become a nuclear power

How 'Bout Us?

[MeanWestTexan]

They need to get rolling on it then. Maybe a sea-floor test somewhere in the Pacific after a nice medium-range missle test.

Make it clear what will happen.

. . . while we send $1 billion to tsunami nations (terrorist nations), $15 billion to Africa so they can maintain female genital mutilation, while we cancel billions of dollars in aid owed to us, and while we send billions more for every gimmee-gimmee hand in the United Nations.

American politicans are at war with America. China need not wait to attack the United States. America will be destroyed by America.

My tagline says it all.

You have to wonder what in the hell the Bush White House thinks it's doing. At a time when we're being attacked every time we turn around, the Administration acts like everything is just ducky, we have Iraq under control and Red China won't really be a problem for twenty years if at all. So we don't need all of these defense assets.

I'm beginning to think some very dark thoughts about our Washington crap weasels.

"You have to wonder what in the hell the Bush White House thinks it's doing."

Like Nero, playing the fiddle while Rome burns.

While they decommission the VP squadrons and send the P-3s to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.

[TruthNtegrity]

China's submarine force is larger than the US', and "in the year 2025, they'll have three times [as many as the US] at the rate we're doing business," Konetzni told the base closing commission hearing.

What Vern Clark is doing/has done in down-sizing the US Navy disgusts me more than I can voice here.

Time for another Reagan era buildup.

[BIGLOOK]

I wonder about how long the PLAN subs would last in the deep.

[Mr. Silverback]

Although I'm liking the F-22, I am of the firm belief that the way to handle China (and the only way to convince them that airpower wil smack them down) is to follow the John Boyd method: Many cheap, agile jet fighters, and flood the airspace with them.

[markedman]

"Time for another Reagan era buildup."

Absolutely!

Where's Lehman when we need him?
