In May Admiral Timothy Keating, the chief of America's Pacific Command, said China's interest in aircraft-carriers was “understandable”. He even said that if China chose to develop them, America would “help them to the degree that they seek and the degree that we're capable.” But, he noted, “it ain't as easy as it looks.”

There you have it. Simply amazing...

As a nation, it is alarmingly clear, our leaders aren't going to get it until our collective nose is sitting over by our left ear.

I don't think it's the "nation" precisely which is this obtuse...its the MSM, CFR, the Import Lobby Quislings... and Political Elite that are living in the Pre-9/11 world.

I’m convinced that everytime we buy something from China, we’re paying for weapons that will one day be used against our own troops. And the statement from the naval officer about actually helping China develop their aircraft carriers is just mind boggling.
