Great. Just Perfect. Now, when we're finished fighting the invading Muslims and the Chinese in the streets, we can take the opportunity to overthrow our own corrupt politicians and reinstate America again.

What's the world coming to? You can't trust the best politicians that money can buy!

Whether you liked the policies of Bush, the Elder, or didn't, it would have been hard to call him a traitor.
The younger Bush enjoys no such protection. In the trasfer of technology, the consequences for this betrayal will be sudden and devastating. In the refusal to enforce immigration laws the damage to the country will be the same. Bush, like Clinton, goes from one vulnerability to another, prying apart the bricks of our foundation. Name one area where Bush has acted constitutionally.

The final sentence does better to define the situation then the opening paragraphs - but people who read headlines and not the entire story won't know that "Most defense experts with whom Insight spoke for this special report agree that the Bush administration has been far better on national-security issues than the Clinton administration, even on technology transfers. As Jack Spencer of the Heritage Foundation points out, however, the best guarantee of U.S. security in the long run is "a democratic China."

Bush is just a contining Clinton's admin. He still has most of the Clinton people doing their same jobs. He deserves what he is getting from them.

I remember when you bought a politician, he STAYED bought.

Indeed, in his last days as a lame-duck president Clinton made exports of U.S. supercomputers easier by raising the export threshold from 28,000 millions of theoretical operations per second (MTOPS) to 85,000 MTOPS. Bush raised that limit to 190,000 MTOPS. A General Accounting Office (GAO) official tells Insight that the government hadn't done the necessary pre-export analysis and that an "interagency process" led by the Department of Defense should be in place for export controls.

MTOPS limits are useless and ineffective anyway. It's just too easy to roll your own supercomputer these days...
