New intelligence reveals China is covertly supplying large quantities of small arms and weapons to insurgents in Iraq and the Taliban militia in Afghanistan, through Iran.

U.S. government appeals to China to check some of the arms shipments in advance were met with stonewalling by Beijing, which insisted it knew nothing about the shipments and asked for additional intelligence on the transfers. The ploy has been used in the past by China to hide its arms-proliferation activities from the United States, according to U.S. officials with access to the intelligence reports.

Some arms were sent by aircraft directly from Chinese factories to Afghanistan and included large-caliber sniper rifles, millions of rounds of ammunition, rocket-propelled grenades and components for roadside bombs, as well as other small arms.

The Washington Times reported June 5 that Chinese-made HN-5 anti-aircraft missiles were being used by the Taliban.........."

Russia, Red China, the Islamofacists acting in concert...

... seeing how many traitors there are in the American Congress, they might just think that now is the time to destroy us once and for all.

“The Bush administration has been trying to hide or downplay the intelligence reports to protect its pro-business policies toward China, and to continue to claim that China is helping the United States in the war on terrorism.”

It appears to me if this is true that Bush cares more for busniess then the lives of our troops.

Lets see here. Bush selling out our country and the Republican Party sidelined for the next 40 years if not permanently. China covertly supporting our enemies in the middle east, as well as Russia. Israel facing a 3 front war. Coming war with China/Russia/Middle East Muslim Axis. Throw in Venezuela for good measure.

Somebody wake me when Armageddon is over.

I just wish someone would explain to me what China and Russia think they'll get out of this when the Muslims take over the world. Do they think for one, insane minute that they won't be made to worship Alla? Talk about delusions...geez.

It suits their interests. All the weapons used by Kashmiri terrorists are made in China as well.

If this wasn't from the Washington Times, would have considered this article to be bunk.....

Time to get tougher with the Chinese?

There are more Chinese than there are Muslims, and China is more advanced than many Muslim countries. China could view the United States as more of a threat to them than islamofascists.

They openly support Iran’s activities diplomatically, why should it surprise anyone they support them militarily?

When it blows, it’s going to be terrible. I fear Iran is the trigger and the Russian Bear emerges standing behind.

That’s the scenario rooted in me. Deeply, I’m afraid. And the course Russia is on is doing nothing to dissuade me from that belief.

Especially by China's Mexican proxies. This is what World War III is all about, taking America down before the people realize the stakes.

One could argue that his leaving the borders open since 9/11 is setting us up for a huge terrorist attack. That's just as bad or worse, and is done in the name of his buddies/campaign donors.

Mine too. I posted on another thread that it was a long held belief of mine that Iran, Syria et al are bit players. China and Russia are using their proxies to draw our military into one endless engagement after another. All to stretch us thin and keep us mired down while they build and strategically place their forces. Don’t be fooled. Just as Hamas and Hezbollah are proxies of Iran and Syria, They themselves are proxies of Russia and China.

The next few years are going to be world altering. Pretty soon everyone is going to have to make some serious choices about where, and what they stand for.

It doesn't surprise most of us, at least those paying attention to international relations. As far as China is concerned, the longer they can keep various little wars in the Middle East going, the better for them. If the situation was reversed, I'd expect that we'd be arming whoever as well.

Still not in focus is the recent railroad system being planned and built from China to Iran or the other way round. This is NOT for commercial purposes but for military transport. Troop and military equipment movement from China to the Middle East will be easier by rail though this is open to sabotage.

Add that to your analysis mix.
