FROM THE TV COMMERCIAL:
Can you hear me now??
ANSWER FROM THE COMMUNIST CHINESE AFTER THIS DEAL: "Oh Yea! We can hear everything perfectly!"
To: flamefront
Clinton buddy Gary Winnick was determined to give this company to the communist Chinese, and , after a few bumps in the road, he finally succeeded.
The secret narrative of the real story of this sale may never be known, but one can be fairly confident that if it ever came to light, it would make an American patriot shiver.

Oh great. Now the ChiComms will control the internet connections between here and wherever..... This is not a good thing.
To: beckett; backhoe
You are quite right and I am sure the communist Chinese would also like WorldCom's assets and networks. Gee - wonder if there is a hidden motive for the Demrats who seem so eager to drive WorldCom into the ground.
Backhoe - you might have the links re: Global Crossings?
Didn't we learn at one time they had major US Government contracts or no?
To: beckett
Tell your kids to study Chinese in school as they will be needing it to talk to their masters. Your other alternative is to buy a firearm and teach them to shoot and to use cover and concealment while shooting.

Can anyone tie this bidding group to the PRC?
Are the named participants merely compliant fronts?
Do they have the wherewithal internally or did they need and get third party financing?
If they are public in Singapore and HK, perhaps this could be researched by someone with Cantonese fluency.

Time to unfurl the communist flags and run them up the flagpole.
It'll be interesting to see if they bid on the carcass of WorldCon, so they can dominate the world communications links.
This should provide employment to 10 million chinese with earphones on to listen to the worlds chit/chat!
Disgusting that our government will allow this to happen. Time to buy chinese primer's for all your kids.

If there were ever a moment for "Unh oh...", it would be about now. Wast this part of a bigger plan? Where is Terry McAuliffe in this deal?
Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Ladin may be the least of our worries very shortly. We have just collectively stepped on a land mine and heard the "Krick....."

A lot of people are committing thought crimes on this thread. Your opinions would be appreciated.
