BAGHDAD (AFP) - The US military on Sunday said its troops had found Chinese-made missiles which they believe were smuggled into Iraq by groups in Iran in order to arm groups fighting US-led forces. ADVERTISEMENT
"We have seen ordnance and weapons that come from other places, but we assess that they have come through Iran," US military spokesman Admiral Mark Fox told reporters.
"There are missiles that are actually manufactured in China that we assess come through Iran as well."

No worry, if made in China, they are flawed.
To: Flavius
A similar report was published a few months ago too. Nothing happened then, nothing will be done now either. It’s China after all.

I support our war but there’s something seriously wrong with dealing with a country that supplies weapons that kill our soldiers.
At some point something has to give and I would prefer that we stopped paying for China’s deceit.

I’m starting to have a problem deciding which is worse, the surrender monkeys in our country or the fact that we’re paying for weapons that kill our soldiers.
Guess that’s why I like Duncan Hunter, he’s a no surrender candidate with a firm stance on China. It’s just not an “either or” thing with him.

What is criminal is that we are now so dependant on Chinese Imports (even militarily) that we can’t cut them off without years of weaning.

It took years to transfer our manufacturing over there. It will take years to bring it back...

The lives of our soldiers are worth the pain of shutting it down.

We have been funding China's war against us for quite a few years now. The Chinese Government only has one thing in mind, the eradication of Capitalism. Since we are the biggest Capitalist country in the world, that makes us number one on their list.
Anyone who believes otherwise is living in a dream world, or just doesn't give a damn. The pet food poisoning woke up a lot of Americans.

There’s only one man in the presidential race talking about it but you can bet that when the crap hits the fan, they’ll all claim it as their own issue.

Lets not forget that America's finest media talking heads will outright lie to avoid taking any attention away from the candidates they've decided to choose for us.
BARNES: Well, did you think the of the Republican or Democratic presidential candidates have taken up the China issue seriously?
KONDRACKE: I don't see anybody talking about it. Now, one last picture. Here is, in celebration of our program, me on a yak. And, Fred, I have a present for you.
How nice, nobody cares so here's a picture of me on a yak.

We have been funding China's war against us for quite a few years now.We have Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger to thank for laying the foundation to bring China into the modern world and becoming the United States' greatest ally and trading partner.

It would certainly be “unfortunate” if these devices found their way back to Iran and blew up Rupublican Guard convoys. What goes around comes around.

"We have Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger to thank for laying the foundation to bring China into the modern world and becoming the United States' greatest ally and trading partner."I will assume that you left out the Sarcasm tag. China stopped being an ally right after Mao Zedong came into power in 1949.Lest we forget about the 24 US airmen that China captured(an act of war in my opinion), in 2001.
Don't think we ever got that plane back either.Make no mistake, war with China is coming.
