When did a first class defense ever out perform a first class offense?
Add 5000 more Tomahawk cruise missiles.
“Really? Bush selling military tech to the Chinese? Can you point me to a source please?”
Maybe it would help if the administration would deport a few Chinese “students” and H1b’s working in our defense industry.
And by the time such a war is fought, advanced Chinese UAV's costing a tiny fraction of what we spent on all those new planes will launch kamikaze attacks and annihilate the lot of them in five minutes.
If war is deemed inevitable, it would be better to put the money into our own UAVs, and also into advanced space-based systems that can knock out China's entire electronic infrastructure in a preemptive strike.
Not yet -
but they are going to, as the “American” left is, work with the Islamists to bring America down,
then they think they’ll be able to oppose them after that.
Yes, even here in FR land, delusional people want to blame Bush and Karl Rove for everything. They have bought into the mass media hype of anti war politics and the rhetoric of moveon (or is it moron). That is why the republican party and Conservatives are in such trouble for the past few elections. too many people (and trolls) follow the crowd and not their intellect.
I do not like GW for a lot of reasons but selling secrets to our enemies is not one of them.
Draft Jeb Bush
Good post, go to Newsmax and read Smith’s articles on China/Clinton crimes, it’s enough to make one cry:
http://archive.newsmax.com/pundits/archives/Charles_R._Smith-archive.shtml
In the 1990s, agents working for the communist Chinese MID, or Military Intelligence Department, penetrated the American White House at the highest level. China Resources investments in Lippo grew during the course of the Clinton administration, coinciding directly with the illegal six-figure Lippo contributions to Clinton’s cash machine. The money lines between Beijing and Bill Clinton all meet at an unused electric power plant in east Java.
The Clinton power bill has come due.
bttt
Ya got any proof that Bushies whore themselves out for the Chicoms too?
Go to Newsmax and read more of the articles archived for Charles R. Smith to refresh your memory on the treasonous Clinton WH!
Good point - the Chinese did the fiber-optic work on Iraq's air defense sites, IIRC.
It did in the day. That’s what the media told us.
Huh? I am asking about Bush. Not Clinton.
Contrary to the SiFi flicks you apparently believe to be “real”, UAV’s today are sitting ducks for anyone with at least a medium level air force or air defense system. And if you think the U.S.'s UAV's have any kind of advantage in this argument, you are sadly mistaken. They are much less capable than a manned system and will remain so for some time. Their ONLY advantage; there's no one on board. And that's not an advantage when someone can and knows how to shoot back... It's called drone target practice at that point.

Heil Hitlary! Viva LORAL and Bernie Schwartz!
Please - we aren’t talking about today’s Predator drones here. The war isn’t coming until 2020 or so. The game is going to change so radically by then that any F-22’s in service are going to end up looking like one of Billy Mitchell’s target battleships when the fighting starts. And I’m hoping that the Air Force is well aware of that, and that the huge per-copy cost of the F-22 is actually a cover for spending on other “black” projects, like Mach 6 UAVs.
And where is our wonderful news media thru all of this?
