Does he not realize that [God forbid] we’re at the brink of a third world war? Moreover! Does he not realize that China may not necessarily be on our side?!!!

Due to incompetent "leadership": We. Are. Screwed.

Democrats are either traitors or they’re insane.....IMO they’re both.

When Clinton did this as a pay off for Red Chinese cash toward his election, I knew it would result in a great increase in Chinese Military capabilities. Though a part of me ignorantly hoped I was wrong and that “our” government officials knew what they were doing and had our best interests at heart...and would never do anything that would harm our security in the slightest. WRONG! Thanks to these corrupt treasonous scum, prior to Clinton they hadn’t the missile technology to accurately target US cities, now they do! And now Obama wants to boost the Red Chinese’ Military capabilities even more. Unbelievable!

They sold most of our production capabilities to the Red Chinese. They sold our debt to the Red Chinese with options to buy US properties. They light up the Empire State Building in the colors of the Red Chinese flag to honor the anniversary of their Communist Revolution. And they give them the Technology to kill us.

What does it take to be charged with treason anymore?

Basically, the Hughes participation was a review of a failed Chinese attempt to launch a Loral Satellite into orbit. Hughes engineers reviewed the rocket design and launch procedures and made valuable recommendations to improve their reliability. When the Pentagon found out they referred the case to Justice as an illegal export of defense technology, in this case dual use technology.

I fear the Chinese more than the Russians and the last thing we need is to teach them what we know about military technology.

President Obama recently shifted authority for approving sales to China of missile and space technology from the White House to the Commerce Department

Am I the only one who fails to see the significance of this?

It was controlled by the White House (meaning Obama).

We are going to stop this downward spiral. This country has survived idiots like Obama before, and we will again.

“EXCLUSIVE: Obama loosens missile technology controls to China”
By Bill Gertz
INSIDE THE RING
(October 15, 2009)

President Obama recently shifted authority for approving sales to China of missile and space technology from the White House to the Commerce Department — a move critics say will loosen export controls and potentially benefit Chinese missile development.

The president issued a little-noticed “presidential determination” Sept. 29 that delegated authority for determining whether missile and space exports should be approved for China to Commerce Secretary Gary Locke.

Commerce officials say the shift will not cause controls to be loosened in regards to the export of missile and space technology.

Eugene Cottilli, a spokesman for Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security, said under new policy the U.S. government will rigorously monitor all sensitive exports to China.”
