the straw-man argument in reference to the Chi-Coms doesn't hold water. Most here are equally opposed to their involvement in strategic infrastructure, security enterprises, and defense technology.

I'm busting a gut over that one!

Most of the huff-and-puffers on this site weren't even aware of COSCO's role in 14 ports on the West Coast, or that it had been in that role for nearly ten years!

You guys hide behind every transparently phony excuse you can think of.

One of your fellow travelers gave the game away in a post up thread.

I, myself, was not. I'm not sure about others here. I can't speak for them. I personally thank you, and others here for continually bringing that up. Now that can be addressed (and likely will be). You're doing one heck of a job. Thank You!

Some of us knew about it.

Keep your eye on Long Beach. It's a staging ground for the New World Order. When Bill Clinton says he and China share a vision for one big happy planet, this is what he is talking about.

The high-level fix appears to be in to base the China Overseas Shipping Co., a Chinese military front, in Long Beach, Calif.

Last week, Judge Peter Lichtman cleared a Los Angeles County courtroom of all spectators before issuing a ruling favorable to Washington's headlong desire to hand over the strategic former naval base to the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Thus, the long march to Long Beach continues.

Oliver North was among talk-show hosts criticizing the senators yesterday.
. . . . "I am greatly surprised that Jim Inhofe, who is usually a stalwart defender of U.S. security, has agreed to support this ill-advised venture," he said. "I urge both senators [Inhofe and Robb] to take another close look at the dangers inherent in allowing the communist Chinese government to control a significant portion of a major U.S. port, and I call on them to join their colleagues in the House to block this foolhardy venture."
. . . . Mr. Inhofe issued a statement yesterday, saying: "I am absolutely opposed to the Cosco deal in Long Beach. This is a national security issue of major importance. But I want the legislative language dealing with this to be tightly drawn to target Cosco specifically by name."
. . . . California's two Democratic senators, Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, oppose any effort to block Cosco. The White House also endorsed the Cosco lease arrangement.
. . . . Both Mr. Inhofe and Mr. Hunter explained their stands on talk-radio shows.
. . . . "My message is, I talked to Jim, and Chairman Inhofe is on board on this thing, and everybody needs to call up [Virginia Democratic Sen. Charles S.] Robb's office and let him know where they stand," Mr. Hunter said in an interview.
. . . . "It ought to strike a chord with liberals," he said. "This was a company caught red-handed smuggling 2,000 guns for street gangs in California. That ought to make liberals in American outraged."

Gee I hope that a UAE company doesn't want to buy CSX... That would be an "in" for them not only in the ports but to our rail system... OH YEAH - I forgot. They already bought CSX and not one single Congresscritter raised a single objection. But then again Schumer's buddies weren't interested in buying CSX on the cheap like Eller & Co can do with the terminals at the Miami ports now.

One of Doncasters' plants is in my county - it's near the ports... plus we've got the nuclear power plant upriver and several military bases here. The only person raising any stink is Rep John (pinky) Barrow who is proof that a *&^(*&%& can talk.
