the missiles were marked "fireworks".Maybe China was just a waystation for supplies for the Kim Jong-un anointment party.

There is no way it is an isolated incident.

Be interesting to see how the supporters of Free Trade with Communist China are going to spin this one....

nor from whom it originated?? Yeah, you don't just pick these things up at a yard sale. This has to have a helluva audit trail back to SOMEWHERE.
We need to stop selling weapons to friends, allies or enemies. Period. They get used against our soldiers far too often.

Money transfers are electronic. People know where these transactions, TARP, MFGlobal, Lehman, GM, etc. all go. They know who shorted American and United Airlines @ 9/11. They know the IPs and accounts that generate/generated $50 contributions to 0bama 2008.
They KNOW.

Why not a peep from any of the “major” news outlets other than the BBC?

True.
69 Patriot missiles.
What an FU to America.
No doubt they were simply marked ‘caution’ and covered in Saran Wrap. No. In doilies.
I’d say they were for a Christmas terrorist surprise in the US, but 0bama is still IN the contiguous US, so we’re safe for the moment.

Payment may not have been in money.
There's diamonds, gold, and oil or other natural resources for which there are no records.

Dock workers became suspicious after finding explosives poorly stored on open pallets, and the missiles were then found in containers marked “fireworks”. Sounds amateurish. Not typical Chinese operation.
Off topic. WTF does Greece need Patriot missiles for. Who'd want to attack them?
