OF COURSE,.....to have ignored the fact that Isreal is our only trustworthy friend in the Middle East, at such a key point in our history, will prove to have been a FATAL MISTAKE for the United States.

William Cohen, the US Secretary of Defense, recently unleashed an unprecedented public blast at Israel for selling advanced military technology to China that could threaten American forces in the event of a clash with China over Taiwan.

Cohen demanded Israel cancel the US $1-2 billion sale of 3-5 AWACS airborne radar aircraft to China. Israel refused...

Former CIA Director James Woolsey testified Israel has covertly sold ‘several billions’ of dollars worth of top-secret US technology to China since 1983. The Inspector General of the US State Department found, in a 1992 report, a ‘systematic and growing pattern’ of Israel selling American military technology in direct violation of US law. That report concluded Israel was supplying arms based on restricted American technology to China, Chile, Ethiopia, and South Africa, all of whom then under US arms embargo. The Pentagon has claimed since the mid-1980’s that Israel simply copies or reverse engineers secret US defense technology and then exports it — even on occasion, it is whispered, to Russia. Until now, Israel’s influential friends on Capital Hill managed to downplay or cover up these serious charges. From article titled "Strange Bedfellows: China and Israel" by Eric S. Margolis

With friends like this, who needs enemies?

Do a search on any engine using the words:Israel Weapons Technology Transfer China! You'll be surprised by what you'll see!

Another part of our hidden subsidy to Israel. And something that won't affect their foreign aid from us one bit. AIPAC owns the U.S. Senate as Buchanan was once brave enough to point out.

How much more treasure will this country have to spend on new defense technology to counter the technology transfer to China by Clinton and by the Israelis?

Anyone remember the stink over Toshiba (or some Japanese multinational) re-selling our submarine propeller technology to the Soviets to be used on their SSBS's? Now, all this stuff hardly gets reported.

Israel cancelled the sale of the AWACS. You conveniently left out that little detail.
