Obama deserves the best helicopter Chinese money can buy.

Who, on paper, owns this fly-by-night outfit?

Link doesn’t work.

Had not thought of that. Yes indeed, we need a chicom helo for obastard.

I hope it works as well as the 200 pieces of chicom drilling equipment being rebuilt at one of our local facilities.

[ErnstStavroBlofeld]

I am sorry.

I thought some Italian company had gotten this contract a few years ago.

“Let’s see how they get disqualified from bidding this time.”

You freaking kidding? My comment would be: “Let’s see how they get preferential treatment this time.”

[J Edgar]

Is it “Stealthy”? If so, I hope it disappears, with The Usurper in it, forever.
I'm sure Biden could come up with an explanation.

For some reason, I still can’t view your link, but here’s a different link with background information on the ChiCom chopper.

Someone really needs to sit down with our top military brass and explain to them that the word “rope” used by Lenin was actually a euphemism for military hardware, technology, and expertise.

[ErnstStavroBlofeld]

Great, thank you.

“Chinese Chopper” has such a delightfully late night paid programming sound.

Who, on paper, owns this fly-by-night outfit?

It is actually a Hyundai, and it comes with a 100,000 mile, 5-year warranty, even though it is thousands less than a Honda or Toyota.

It is manufactured with Renault and Kelvinator machine tools from plants that the CHICOM bought in Marseilles and Kenosha in the late 1970s. The retro-look riveting and the externally attached doohickeys are particularly impressive, as is the radome/picnic cooler. Cupholders are optional.

Although I am partial to Maytag, I would urge our military not to buy this new chopper until they see what Kenmore is offering late this spring.

[James C. Bennett]

LOL!

Well played, Sir!

[Leisler]

Except for the Marine crew, I wouldn’t mind Barry flying around, a lot, in a chink chopper.

[Kenny Bunk]

When George Soros tells The Mombasa Moonbeam to get on the CHICOM Chopper, he'll know the jig is up.

Leave the chopper. Take the cannoli.
