They're absolutely right. If the war isn't won by our military in a month, our politicians will step in and surrender.

I believe America cannot win as it has a civic society that must adhere to the value of respecting lives," Mr. Ishihara said in an address to the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies. Mr. Ishihara said U.S. ground forces, with the exception of the Marines, are "extremely incompetent" and would be unable to stem a Chinese conventional attack.

He must be the Japanese version of a Dem. I think that his full name is Mr. Murtha Ishihara.

Telling China that they will win a war assures us that they'll start one. No one starts a war they think they'll lose.

Mr. Ishihara, should know of all peoples, that when the U.S. commits its entire country to war, it doesn't settle for anything less than total surrender. China would not be a ground force war anymore than mainland Japan was a ground force war.

With the Democrats and the Left Wing Media in charge of propaganda--- we'd lose to France.

Talk about a bunch of people making assumptions. As if we'd fight that war the way we fought Iraq.

Additionally, if the causes belli were an invasion of Taiwan, I believe it would go nuclear pretty quickly.

China couldn't handle two carrier battle groups. As for occupying China, then way we are occupying Iraq, I'm not sure that would be necessary. First, China has plenty of internal pressures to deal with already. Tibet would fall away quickly. Manchuria would as well. There are almost a dozen different ethnic geographies in China that would love self government over Beijing and Communism.

The Chinese aren't idiot Muslims either. They aren't stuck in the seventh century, and what's even more important - Asians were the original free enterprisers. They are capitalists from the womb. Given support from their neighbors, the average Chinese citizen wants to make money. All put our all volunteer force against their conscripts any day.

The REAL question on the table is, can the US military prevail against the US mainstream media establishment?

Though it is a little early to call Bush's visit a failure, he clearly got bitch slapped by the Chinese and comes home empty handed on piracy, trade, and currency issues.

Traiditional All Out War Vs. China?? That would be fricken WW3! If that was the Case, and nukes werent used for some odd reason, the US would still win. China would be allied with N.Korea, Iran, Syria, maybe Pakistan, and some other arab losers, no way in hell would they win in Convential Warfare.

If this is true, the government needs to issue automatic rifles to every household. With that done, the Chinese could never come to this country.

Must be over Taiwan. As you can see, the Dims screeching is sending the wrong message to the rest of the world.

Good point, though I can't imagine that conflict would spread to the China's mainland.

"The overwhelming assessment by Asian officials, diplomats and analysts is that the U.S. military simply cannot defeat China."

This assessment made clear by the keystone of the Asian foreign policy establisment---the governer of Tokyo! In other words, a completely local official.

This article is bushwah.

Whatever happened to supporting the military and our country? What is it that the media wants instead of the U.S., as their right to express themselves will be the first thing to disappear?
