China is a terrorist nation in spite of MFN treatment by COngress.

China sells military equipment and provides training for terrorist nations Iraq and Iran and for terrorist groups AlQaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Abu Nidal.

Has anyone checked to see if China has technology to militarize anthrax that could have been used by terrorists after 9/11?

I hope Bush and Powell will stop calling China an ally on terrorism like they have been mistaking doing with the Saudi government who has also been supporting ALQaeda.

Yesterday a lentghy article was posted that revealed that Saudi Arabia has a base for long range missles (caplable of carrying nuke and biological and chemical warheads for over 1000 miles) built by China.

I hope that Bush's and the Repubs business ties with the Saudis and the Chinese do not prevent them from adequately protecting America from the Chinese and Saudi threat to US national security and the safety of innocent Americans who are targets of terrorists backed by China and Saudi Arabia these days.

Debka has some scary important stuff which turns out to be right enough of the time to take them seriously (consider and weigh their info)even knowing they can be wrong some of the time.

I looked at pictures of this stuff : mostly old and corroded -typical 3rd world military surplus, but presumably still lethal.
