Here is what you do.
Make every sentence a paragraph.
He pretty much says the same thing over and over in his article.
But with all those paragraph breaks, it looks like he has a long column.
I almost think he relished writing this piece.
Mathew did not seem alarmed that the lives of American sailors might be at risk, or that Taiwanese security has been lessened.
Some people on the left see nothing wrong with communism, or real tyrants. They imagine President Bush is a tyrant. It’s that old “moral equivalence” thing. If Mathew had his head screwed on straight, he'd realize this is nothing to smirk about.

I wouldn't count on that. The sub driver may have not been playing by the normal rules of peacetime engagement. We could hardly drop depth charges or other ordnance on him. Well, one of the attack subs could, after all who would know, other than the crew of our sub would of course. But they don't call 'em the "Silent Service" for nothing. So if he just kept driving in, in spite of being detected, pinged and otherwise humiliated, there really wouldn't be much our guys could do to drive him off.
The sub could have been on the bottom, silent, waiting for the group to pass overhead, then surface.
Another problem for the science boys to fix...
I always have a strong feeling the Bush administration (or Department of State alone) is trying to avoid another cold war, and is keeping a blind eye on China. It’s time to declare a new cold war, and close the market to China. Our money is feeding the Chinese PLA. We are feeding our enemy, feeding our enemy that could develop more devastating weapons. I hope the new Cold War is officially declared.

For this POS Chinese diesel sub-—>>
Sub = RPG
RPGs and anti tank missiles are cheap ways to kill armor
Chi quiet diesel Sub = very low cost way of inflicting great damage on our lumbering warships
Citibank and others have been forced to write down their bullshit mortgage portfolios. My unhappy guess-timate is our huge aircraft carrier groups are also headed to a write down
Paid for with lead-covered toys, contaminated food and drugs and cheap junk sold in America, thanks to globalization and the international corporations.

Thanks John Walker, Bill Clinton, and all the other pieces of crap in this country.
You can’t tell me pings don’t have mode 4 or above. This is unbelievable. My My.
Jeff Head was right. The vain and spoiled ones are wrong.
...need to split our fleets into many smaller ships, BTW, and build up ground and air forces.
Nanoweapons are going to make the whole concepts of radar and “early warning” into a total farce.
