Does anyone here NOT believe that China gave support to al-Qaeda? In line with the Bush Doctrine described in his speech after 9/11, we should now consider China our enemy (if it can be proven the missiles came from China to al-Qaeda.

I would think China wouldn't support Al-Qaeda. They are obviously not natural allies. Why would China want to "awaken" the 50 million Muslims in their country to Jihad?

So that the jihad could be pointed at us.

That would make me happy, but it's not going to happen because uncle Prescott Bush might lose some of the family fortune. Can't shut down those lucrative slave-labor camps and organ harvests run by our good friends in (blood)Red China.

I feel sick.

This has to be one of the most shameless leaps of frothy illogic I have ever seen on the FR. There is nothing, repeat NOTHING in my post from which a rational person could leap to your inane conclusion. Good grief. And YOU want to throw the obligatory sandbox "I.Q." insult at ME?

I would laugh at you if yours was not such a sad and pathetic case. Gads!

They announced they would profile at their airports and at some point I recall them refusing some muslims to board flights. These kinds of weapons are available on the black market, but I can still see where they might hold their nose for some covert hope of sticking a knife in our back, plausible deniability. They are not to be trusted. Blackbird.

China dealt with Al-Qaeda so that they would not cause trouble in China. They have caused a great deal of trouble for China's competition. Meanwhile China sits back inocently humming.

Hmmm...recent downing of airplane in Straights of Taiwan, no more weapon sales to Ashcanistan, border conflicts for years...

Two "Great Satans"? Or just threats and attacks from the local bully if China doesn't "see things their way"?
What say ye "Dragon Fire" Bro? Maybe they're trying to "gin up support/compassion" for the Chinese among the "American Satans". Nah...they wouldn't do that.

Somewhere back in the cob webs I seem to remember a Chinese connection to 9/11.

I'd suspect that these Chinese model SA-7's came from Albanian stocks looted by the KLA.

Recall that OBL spent a lot of time in Albania and even was a Bosnian citizen.

Thanks.....x42.....for making this possible :(
