We bought the land from Clombia, we built the canal. Why did we give it up?
Thanks, Peanut Brain.
China has absolutely zero power projection ability outside of Asia. If we wanted to take the canal by force, we could do it in a matter of hours.
What a paranoid article. When was that written, 5 years ago?
Chinese, illegal aliens at the time, helped build the first Transcontinental Railroad. Since the purpose of the Railroad was to open a trade route to China, it seems to have worked out. The Canal and New Orleans came to dominate trade. Air freight is coming along now, so that the canal isn't much of a choke point.
Another Carter idiocy that will bite us.
Thank you Jimmy Carter!!! Anyone want to elect another Communist for President -- vote third party -- it could happen and the next one may just give away the whole USA to the commies.
Again, special thanks go out to another democrat for screwing our national security, Jimmy Carter, a total loser.
Well if we have trouble with access to the canal. I am sure we will sieze it.
FYI Ping & BTTT....
Might want to check your date. Oct 31, 2005? Obviously the article was from before Jan 20 2001.
Thank you, Jimmy Carter. And thanks for trusting North Korea, too...
The "yellow peril" may exist, but it probably it is in Vancouver, B.C.
when was this published? clearly Clinton couldn't have replaced an Ambassador who made statements 3 years ago. And, for that matter, Adm. Moorer died over a year ago.
This was litigated up to the Supreme Court on 12/31/99, the day of the turnover of the Canal to Panama.
Add Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega, Fidel Castro, and an authoritian Russia to the mix, and you have lots of fun.
