BJ probably figures this gives him a "free pass" for another intern!

This woman must be stopped. The two greatest dangers to this great republic are Islamist terrorists and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

========================================================

MIDI - I'LL HAVE TO SAY I LOVE YOU IN A SONG

I once went to an event…Hillary, to meet you
I knew what I’d say if I…had the chance to greet you
But the Secret Service told me I must move along
So I’ll tell you that I loathe you in a song

I’d express it as I did in each note and e-mail
That you’re really not much like any other female
But the Secret Service told me I must move along
So I’ll tell you that I loathe you in a song

I’d be asking why you’ve done many things unlawful
All the research is complete…you are really awful
But the Secret Service told me I must move along
So I’ll tell you that I loathe you in a song

I know why you’re not the one…that your husband’s humping
Were you mine it’s from a bridge that I would be jumping
But the Secret Service told me I must move along
So I’ll tell you that I loathe you in a song

So I’ll tell you that I loathe you in a song

Mr & Mrs Clinton got themselves elected with money from the Chinese (Riyadi family) bankers .

[Txsleuth]

And, I suppose not one reporter questioned her about the fact that it was her husband, huh??

[ridesthemiles]

I thought it was Jimmah Carter who set up the Chinese taking over the Panama Canal. It just was finalized under Clinton, who did nothing to stop it, just took more money form the Chicoms.

[Always Right]

So Hillary is going to run at the anti-Clinton??? She is a genius.

[beaver fever]

The ports are not gates. The US Navy has priority access to the canal ahead of all commercial traffic.

Hutcheson Whampoa has no control over who enters the canal.

[beaver fever]

See my post #27 the Chinese do not control the canal.

I interviewed the former Panamanian Defence minister who was part of the negotiations.

I repeat again the Chinese to not control the canal.

[allen08gop]

Isn't it amazing people still can't read a treaty document?

The treaty has a provision enabling the USA to come back at any time if the Canal is threatened. We need no permission from anyone to do this. There is a major force in Florida responsible for this operation.

The Canal is being run pretty well by the Panamanians. However, they fudged the accident numbers to make themselves appear to be better than the Americans when we ran it. We counted any contact between ships as an accident. They do not.

[Logical me]

Who cares who runs the loading and unloading at the terminals. Ever check the damn ships?

[Yasotay]

My para phase of Berger was accurate ... maybe you think he didn't have a conflict of interest ... I also remember some of our plans to defend the locks. I don't like the thought of the Chinese being able to close the canal very quickly. A government owned company from our greatest potential enemy is not a smart choice as a neighbor next to the locks.

[Thunder90]

Hillary is jumping all over the place. The next thing she will do is address an antiwar org and say that she was misled by Bush into voting for the war, and that she is against the war in Iraq now.

[beaver fever]

Li Ka Shing is not a communist and Hutchison Wampao started out as a British/Chinese joint venture that managed the port of Hong Kong decades before the handover of Hong Kong.

It is not owned by the ChiCom government. In fact Li Ka Shing could buy the Communist party and still be a multi billionaire.

They are now the largest port management and maritime cargo tracking company in the world.

HW is in the business of making money. Even if the could close the canal (which they can't do legally or militarily) they would lose millions of dollars in handling fees due to any interruption of port traffic.

You really have to get up to speed on who the players are in international maritime shipping if you're going to comment on this stuff.

[wai-ming]

I think the Clintons and their cronies pose a greater threat to America than the Chinese do. Great civilizations are usually destroyed first from the inside.

[Rembrandt]

Hey Mrs. Bill, weren't you the co-Prez when the Panama Canal was handed over to the commies?

For more than a half decade, the Clinton administration was shoveling atomic secrets out the door as fast as it could, literally by the ton. Millions of previously classified ideas and documents relating to nuclear arms were released to all comers, including China's bomb makers.

William J. Broad
Spying Isn't the Only Way to Learn About Nukes,
The New York Times, May 30, 1999

Broad would have us believe we are watching "Being There" and not "The Manchurian Candidate." His argument is superficially appealing as most reasonable people would conclude that it requires the simplemindedness of a Chauncy Gardener (in "Being There") to reason that instructing China and a motley assortment of terrorist nations on how to beef up their atom bombs and how not to omit the "key steps" when building hydrogen bombs would somehow blunt and not stimulate their appetites for bigger and better bombs and a higher position in the power food chain.

But it is Broad's failure to fully connect the dots -- clinton's wholesale release of atomic secrets, decades of Chinese money sluicing into clinton's campaigns, clinton's pushing of the test ban treaty, clinton's concomitant sale of supercomputers, and clinton's noxious legacy -- that blows his argument to smithereens and reduces his piece to just another clinton apologia by The New York Times.

But even a Times apologia cannot save clinton from the gallows. Clinton can be both an absolute (albeit postmodern) moron and a traitor. The strict liability Gump-ism, "Treason is as treason does" applies.

The idea that an individual can be convicted of the crime of treason only if there is treasonous intent or *mens rea* runs contrary to the concept of strict liability crimes. That doctrine (Park v United States, (1974) 421 US 658,668) established the principle of 'strict liability' or 'liability without fault' in certain criminal cases, usually involving crimes which endanger the public welfare.

Calling his position on the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty "an historic milestone," (if he must say so himself) clinton believed that if he could get China to sign it, he would go down in history as the savior of mankind. This was 11 August 1995.

I believe that this espionage case -- the Chinese -- is the worst in the history of this country. They got just about everything that we have and you'll see it in the out years in their development of their weapons.

China space shot has military implications

China launches first manned space flight
Reuters ^ | 10-14-03

BEIJING (Reuters) - China has launched its first manned space flight from the Gobi desert, Xinhua news agency says, in its bid to become the third country to put a man in orbit after the former Soviet Union and the United States.

The Shenzhou V, or "Divine Ship V", was expected to orbit the Earth 14 times before returning after about 21 hours.

Xinhua said the craft carried astronaut Yang Liwei, 38. The launch on Wednesday, 42 years after the Soviet Union put the first man into space, marked a milestone for China's secretive space programme, which analysts say has its sights set on a manned mission to the moon.

The Chinese only have nuclear missiles aimed at the U.S. Which is worse?

Missiles whose aim is all the better, thanks to technology sold to China during the Clinton years.

Unresolved Questions- the Panama canal, good, bad, or a waiting disaster?--thread II

And for the record, I think this was one of the most damn-fool ideas of all time. Mark my words, we will pay in blood, and treasure, to fix it in the future.

[syriacus]

then-President Clinton insisted that Chinese ownership posed no threat to canal operations, explaining that Hutchison

Did she mention that Bill arranged for a loan guarantee for the Red Chinese, so that they could build a nuclear plant? The plant supplies power for the Chinese to build surface war ships. Silver-tongued Clinton said the deal was in our "national interest."

Also, after Clinton failed to deliver a lease on the navy base at Long Beach to COSCO, China's shipping company, COSCO got a $138,000,000 loan guarantee from former President Clinton, to build ships in Mobile, AL

Somehow, even though one of their ships was involved in arms smuggling, COSCO got exempted from US laws which "discriminate" against state shipping companies.
