I will tell you and provide the published op-eds if you want.

But you will have to agree before to admit you really don't have any idea what you are talking about and are full of hot air.

Okay Mr. Troll. I will admit that I really don't have any idea what I am talking about and I am full of hot air.

I think I got it right. Now, let's see if you can, and here I quote:
People in Bush's own administration for example.

People from Bush1's administration, for example.

The Proposition is that there are people in these administrations who favor recognizing Taiwan. I say there aren't, you say there are. Since I agreed to your deal, you should now provide the name of one person in either administration who favors it. You don't even have to provide proof, just a name.

Bill, you are 100% to say that all the Bush's cabinet agrees with him here

Paul Wolfowitz US Deputy Secy of Defense, said, "THE US OPPOSES TAIWAN INDEPENDENCE" during a pheonix TV interview on July 29, 2002

Analysts deduce that the fact that the most hawkish, Right-wing member of the Bush Cabinet saying this is to WARN Taiwan NOT to try to declare independence

Hi Bill.

John Bolton has written op-eds on this. Here's one

Of course from the earlier Bush's adminsitration John Lilley wrote the op-ed, "Taiwan is a State, Get Over It."

There is a common denominator between Lilley and Bolton, which is AEI.

Arthur Waldron at AEI wrote a great article along these lines for Policy Review not too lon ago.

That is what is so disapointing and foolish about Bush's comment the other day. It was so unnecesaary and will only be harmful to our interests. We won't get anything out of it.

The viewpoint presented by many, we can call the AEI view but it goes well beyond just AEI, is a much netter way to go.

Bush let the Associates strange anachronistic world view (and that is being very nice to them) win out. Huge mistake on his part.

If he wanted to say what he did he should have gone with Armitage and added, neither do we oppose Taiwan's independence.

As it is Bush looks like either a fool or a sycophant. (And he normally is neither).

Jiang Zemin showed up late, never answered any question specifically, except with smug double talk and laughed about it.

As per our deal, feel free to send me private mail here.

It is best you don't aprticipate in a public forum, I'm sure you can agree.

After a fair amount of tutelage, I may give you the OK.
