A retired Chinese general recently revealed that his country might be planning a surprise missile attack on the United States. The public comment of Xu Guangyu came in response to WikiLeaks revelations that last year Washington had warned its allies beforehand of China’s test of a missile interceptor.

China acts like a child, swaggering and nasty. There is no reason to attack another nation pre-emptively and when it has been done to us, the results are very unpleasant for the agressor.
Just ask Japan.

Explain how reason and logic got the world into its last two global wars. Explain how reason and logic apply in the current war on terror and will ultimately prevail over the release of WMD against civilian populations.
Alas Babylon.

Why would they destroy their own property here? Foreclosure is their best weapon.

Except for one thing: we currently have radical Marxists in control of the Executive branch, who may be happy to respond to a Chinese nuke attack with unconditional surrender.
That's one way to cancel the 2012 elections.

China has no power to foreclose anything. China cannot collect a nickel that we do not wish to pay.

No need, China - another year or two with Obama at the helm, and we’ll be permanently destroyed anyway.
To: Jim Noble
That’s my take. I have zero confidence that Obama would respond to such an attack with anything more ferocious than a criminal indictment.

Can’t we just send obama over there to do a “bow tour” or something? Maybe they’ll decide it’s not worth the missiles to bomb us while we still have democrats.

It is the duty of military planners to make such plans. That’s what they all do.
There is also such a plan for Ebonia, and if not those officers are derelict,
It’s not personal, it just is
By the way.....It’s 2011 not 1962

I read the article ... the ChiCom comments were clearly intentional ...
Clearly, if the ChiComs did launch such an attack, the U.S. military response would be overwhelming ...
Morover ... most if not ALL of the ChiCom missiles would be safely intercepted ... of that I have NO DOUBT ...
If POTUS "Zero" refused to respond, the Joint Chiefs would sponsor a coup ... with the American public's full support ...
Even "Barry the Kenyan" fully understands that ...

To: Patton@Bastogne
It better be a pretty quick coup. Those missiles take about 30 minutes to get here, give or take 10 minutes.
Our enemies may be realizing we may never be this intentionally vulnerable ever again.
I’m amazed they didn’t do it a year ago when it was more obvious. I’d have been planning it from inauguration day were I them.

The first movement from China will be a attack on Taiwan, a lame response from the USA will give them the green light to do whatever they want.

Do a search for : George Washington’s vision .
It’s a vision he had while encamping at Valley Forge during the winter of 1777-1778.
