China secretly shipping Cuba arms - Thread #2
Washington Times ^ | 6/12/01 | Bill Gertz

Posted on 09/18/2001 5:32:20 AM PDT by ChaseR

China is shipping arms and explosives to Cuba in a sign of increased military cooperation between Beijing and Havana, The Washington Times has learned. At least three arms shipments were traced from China to the Cuban port of Mariel over the past several months. All the arms were aboard vessels belonging to the state-owned China Ocean Shipping Co. (Cosco), according to U.S. intelligence officials.

"(Suppose some doomsday cult found out about these weapons and where they were stored?) Such facilities would be extremely obvious to even the most basic reconnaisance effort."

Yes, you're exactly correct - it is extremely obvious that the Communist Chinese could/are/will - store short-range and medium-range missile parts - in - any amount of COSCO ships they want - and then have these ships come and go -or- simply have them docked -for weeks and months at a time- down at their Hutchison-Whampoa piers. (folks seeing these COSCO ships docked down there - would think nothing of it - since Hutchison-Whampoa - now has a 50 year lease - to be in Panama.

HoweverComma:
"So, in conclusion, it would NOT be difficult to locate Chinese nuclear weapons storage sites in the New World." The fact that Gertz has to repeatedly use the weasel words "could," "might," and "possibly" indicates that no one's seen them yet.

Give me a few minutes and I'll crawl down in the hold of one of the COSCO ships docked down at the Hutchison-Whampoa leased piers - and I'll be back shortly...of course, I know that I'll be allowed aboard, heck - I'll just pose as an inquiring tourist with a camera - and - I'm sure that the Communist Chinese won't mind at all and that they'll let any and all - come aboard - for any kind of full inspection that is requested - I'll leave in a moment.

HoweverComma:
"Like I said earlier, we can engage in "Well, the Chinese COULD do this extremely stupid and self-destructive behavior" until the heat death of the Universe. How about engaging in REALISTIC assessments of what's going on?"

Yes - sure thing Comma, I see your point. And if those poor souls murdered on 9-11 - could possibly - have been offered invitations to come to a seminars in early September - to discuss "extremely stupid and self-destructive behavior" - such as any possibility - that jets might be intentionally crashed into the WTC (or Pentagon) - they, like me - would probably not have attended.
HoweverComma, it appears to me that times - they are a changin' - huh.
[HoweverComma, in light of 9 - 11 - Now is the Time - to address all possibilities - wouldn't you'd agree!
