US Intelligence: China, North Korea Jointly Backing Iran's Weapons of Mass Destruction

The United States has determined that China and North Korea are coordinating efforts to advance Iran's missile and weapons of mass destruction programs.

The intelligence community has concluded that China and North Korea have cooperated to produce and deliver components for missile and weapons of mass destruction programs to a number of Middle East Clients.

China, which last year announced export controls on military and dual use technologies , produced the components and exported them through North Korea to avoid United States sanctions, a source said.

No surprise here...

Wow, China had better knock it off, or we may stop referring to them as a "strategic partner", and allow one or two Senators to discuss the possibility of considering debate about renewing China's Most Favored Nation status (before being reigned in by the Administration). That would show them!

And yet we expect the PRC to HELP us deal with the DPRK? There was some idiot right here on this forum welcoming the prospect of a PLA occupation of the DPRK. He / she claimed that the PRC were "our ally!" Arrrrrrrrggghhhh!

Is there a single person on this forum who actually believes that W meant what he said with his "Either you're with us or you're with the terrorists" bluster?

The United States has determined that China and North Korea are coordinating efforts to advance Iran's missile and weapons of mass destruction programs.

And they also support liberal activist groups and Democrat politicians. Like they say, "Birds of a feather flock together."

China and North Korea helping Iran in opposition to America's diplomatic requests and overall security? No surprise there!

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Funny you should mention that pansy-willed country. I keep suspecting that that pansy-willed country also helped sadam hide his WMDs so they could help Iraq and provide a major embarrassment to our GWB.

Joins? They have always been a silent partner but as everone knows, an axis can have only three members and since Bush made Iran, Iraq, and North Korea members of the first, there just wasn't room for China. Now that Iraq is out of the axis, China can join.

Some of us have believed for some time that China was the "un-named country" also involved in 9-11.

Good thing we're sending all our intellectual capital to China (offshoring) so they can provide NK with the latest and greatest tech.

I believe there was a book out that said much the same thing..
