Sun Tzu would be proud. This is exactly the kind of stuff I expect from the Chinese. COSCO shipping containers with W-88 design nukes are likely in the future. They'll work around our ABM technology and avoid any blame.

Among them was a WND report of some Chinese fighters assisting the Taliban.

Absolutely not. That was a DEBKA report, not World Net Daily's, and we all know how reliable they are.

Wasn't Charlie Trie involved in sending biowarfare equipment to China? I should look it up -- I don't remember the details.

America is truly a stupid nation. Meanwhile we are alienating India, our only true ally out there, by helping out the Pakistanis against them. Pakistan being China's strategic ally.

Very interesting theory. I wouldn't rule this one out. One should look at who actually gained from the 9-11 attacks. A little scrutiny shows that China definitely came out ahead in a bunch of ways. Look at how they've basically vanished off the policy radar scope and became "good guys" after the EP-3 incident etc. There could have been a lot of levels of "involvement" including simply knowing about it in advance and not warning us.

On another note, Thomas believes President Bush's decision to pull out of the ABM treaty will cause Russia and China to strengthen their ties – to the detriment of the United States.

That will make about as much sense for Russia as the sheep making an alliance with the wolves because they dislike the border collies. Russia is facing over a billion Chinese to the East and a billion Muslims to the South, all enviously coveting Russia's territory and resources. There is absolutely no reason at this point why Russia and the US shouldn't be friends, but they need us far worse than we need them. If the Russians side with the Chinese against us, they will be sealing their own national doom.

Not even touching on the all ready large number of COSCO containers that are constantly moving
around our country now, let's take another look now - at the Panama Canal:

I can't speak directly about 9-11 involvement ... but I believe it is still a little pre-mature for the ChiComm's aspirations. Bin Laden IMHO was more a Maverick whose actions and abilities surprised many of these folks who dislike and hate us, but caught them out of position and not prepared yet to take advantage of it.

I have a book out that goes into detail regarding a potential ChiComm plan involving Islam that kicks off in 2005-2006:

Dragon's fury - Breath of Fire

It's the first in a five part series on the third World War that results from it.

The W-88 in a shipping container is a complete waste of technology. Anyways, we can now detect this type of incursion if we get serious with detection apparatus, which includes not just geiger counters, but 'sniffers' that are extrordinarily sensitive. Meanwhile, your fear of their being W-88s in containters is misplaced. Its compactness is optimized for MISSILE DELIVERY. China already knows how to build powerful H-Bombs. What the W-88 gives them is the potential to MIRV successfully, and gain a potential for a huge pre-emptive counter-force missile fleet. It's design also uses much less bomb-grade uranium or 'SNM' special nuclear material and hence allows them to proliferate on the cheap. Both the Soviet Union and the US had originally done it the hard way.

--here's one possibility. Obviously the chinese knew that the taliban air defense was dismal. However, the US was going to be using close to it's top available hardware. My theory is that they collected as much elint as they could in the opening stages of the war, and used the ruse of supplying the taliban as an excuse to have themselves and their gear on the ground over there in afghanistan, at least initially. There's wargaming type intel, then there's the real mc coy, and the real mc coy is always more valuable.
