The big problem, Muawiyah, is that our government is striving to make things easier and cheaper for countries, especially China, to save money on strategic and offensive weapons development.

Our so-called "Defense Deparment" wants to move production of key guidance equipment for our "smart bombs" to factories in China.

That, coupled with the countless transfers of technology (missile guidance systems) made by the evil Clinton administration to Communist China made it very easy for them to launch the test missiles over Japan in recent times.

Here we have the Bush administration eagar to do the same damned thing and our weasels in congress will stand by while that happens.

The smart bombs are still pretty basic technology, not much more high tech than my black and white PDA ~ on the other hand if the Chinese had smart bombs they would not need to have so many pilots, nor build so many jet fighters and bombers, nor construct factories to build their replacements in case of war.

This is the type of technology that seems to give your potential adversaries an advantage but the real effect may be to create structural weaknesses in the adversaries' military related industries.
