China will soon deploy its first road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles, a new long-range strategic weapon whose predicted range includes the western United States, The Washington Times has learned.

U.S. intelligence agencies detected the Chinese military's formation of the first missile units equipped with Dong Feng-31 missiles in July, and the Pentagon believes the first missiles will be fielded by the end of the year. Dong Feng means "East Wind" in Chinese.

... and that's why we should share our missile defense plans with China. Way to go, Bush administration.

"White House and Pentagon officials vehemently denied the reports, first disclosed in the New York Times last week."

Okay, so which one is the liar here?

Couldn't be the NYT - they never lie when it comes to distributing news on Republicans, right? No way of knowing, but it did seem strange to (reportedly) tell China they need not restrain themselves when it comes to building missles in return for backing off on our MDS.

"Iraq poses no threat to the United States"

In all due respect, unless you're a member of the NSA or really up there on some intelligence committee, there's no way for you to know this. Iraq does not appear to be an immidiate threat, but who knows what's coming down the road?

Re: post #52

I'm not sure what you're trying to point out. I was addressing an issue regarding Iraq. I made no reference to China.
