China has accelerated computer espionage attacks on the U.S. government, defense contractors and American businesses, a congressional advisory panel said Thursday.

The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission also said in its annual report to lawmakers that aggressive Chinese space programs are allowing Beijing to more effectively target U.S. military forces.

"China is stealing vast amounts of sensitive information from U.S. computer networks," said Larry Wortzel, chairman of the commission set up by Congress in 2000 to advise, investigate and report on U.S.-China issues.

Obviously they haven’t heard that Obama got elected and the world loves us now, so we don’t need spies or protection for ourselves.

Forget preemptive wars. We're not fighting active wars.

My pet insistence: Deny outer space advancements to all other nations.

And it’s not like we have a President in office while all this is going on.

Duncan Hunter told us all this over a year ago. Very few cared then and I doubt any more will care now.

Why do they need to steal it. Obama will just give them away for their campaign donations. I'm sure Bill's buddies in Obamas’ cabinet are showing him how it's done.

It’s a little difficult to understand why the Chinese bother with such arduous efforts, when the Clintons proved that Democrats will sell any required information for a simple cash “donation.”

Here’s another article about it:

“Thursday November 20 2008

China is aggressively developing its power to wage cyber warfare and is now in a position to delay or disrupt the deployment of America’s military forces around the world, potentially giving it the upper hand in any conflict, a panel of the US Congress has warned.

The panel’s report discloses an alarming increase in incidents of Chinese computer attacks on the US government, defence companies and businesses. It notes that China now has both the intent and capability to launch cyber attacks “anywhere in the world at any time”.”

excerpt http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/nov/20/china-us-military-hacking

This is very, VERY troubling.

Rep. Duncan Hunter was the best presidential candidate by far to handle Red China, but unfortunately, LMSM didn’t give him the name recognition. LMSM chose Obama and McCain to be the presidential nominees, and picked Obama to be the next POTUS.

“so we don’t need spies or protection for ourselves.”

I hope we won’t some day be telling our children and grandchildren what freedom WAS like.

You bet. I have been seeing a lot of D2 lately and man is that guy impressive. Given some experience, a bit of refining and a position other than a Rep from California and you have the answer to your tagline.

Still yet, by the time 2012 rolls around he will have more experience than Obama did before he decided we needed his change. Jindal/ D2 2012..........A new Reagan dynasty there or better, because there would be no Bush I to “kindly and gently” allow a Clinton into office. :)

“I have been seeing a lot of D2 lately and man is that guy impressive.”

It’s so hopeful that we have some great pro-life, and conservative in every way, young leaders in the wings like Duncan D. Hunter, Bobby Jindal, Sarah Palin, et al.

There was a time when I didn’t see any Ronald Reagan conservatives out there, but now I do.

Let’s keep praying!
