Ain't THIS special? The fascist Chinese will end up owning land lines that process secure information if this happens. Not only the secure transmissions,but imagine the results of the Chinese just shutting these lines down all totogether.
Gee,I wonder if FineSwine's husband and Prescott Bush are still doing business with the Chinese? Not that this would have anything to do with them being able to make this buy,of course.

And if we sit on our hands and let them continue their advances in space launch technology and their stated intent of going to the Moon, we are cooked.
(December 09, 2001) China's great leap forward: Space--[Excerpt] "The space industry is not only a reflection of the comprehensive national strength but also an important tool for leaping over the traditional developing stage," said Liu Jibin, minister of China's Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.
If China makes that leap, the country's civil and military space efforts could close the gap between East and West in years instead of decades. Technology is critical to China's development of bigger, better missiles and space-based defenses as well as the country's commercial ambitions.

(October 8, 2001)-Pentagon Report Calls for the United States Control of Space---Arguably, one of the more straightforward parts of the QDR concerns the capability and survivability of space systems. "Because many activities conducted in space are critical to America's national security and economic well being, the ability of the United States to access and utilize space is a vital national security interest," the QDR says. "During crisis or conflict, potential adversaries may target U.S., allied, and commercial space assets as an asymmetric means of countering or reducing U.S. military operational effectiveness, intelligence capabilities, economic and societal stability, and national will."
