Someday the Capitalists are going to wake up and realize they've been had. The problem is that our land will be destroyed by that time. Years ago they predicted that they would be the number 1 economic power in the world within 10 years. Money people tell me that they are well ahead of schedule. And that is thanks to our pols and the money people who have sold us out for cheap labor and huge profits. That wealth used to circulate in the United States. Now they are arrogant enough to support our enemies in the face of our tragedy. When will we stop this insanity of supporting regimes that wish us destruction?

Duh. China has been behind this all along. Congress has been ll too happy China in every way they can think. MFN etc. The Gov't spend tax $ to encourage business to set up offshore, usually China. We are in very great danger here and our media and many elected officials are involved in it. X42 and her spouse bent over backwards to sell us out and congress lied for them.

There's no particularly credible evidence presented by Gertz in the article that China shipped arms to Al Queda after 9/11. Or before 9/11.

Of course, not like anyone on FR is going to learn critical thinking skills anytime soon.

The official said that a week after the terrorist attack, the ruling Taliban and the al Qaeda fighters embedded among them, received a shipment of Chinese-made SA-7 missiles

The official says that an arms shipment was received by the Taliban one week after 9-11. The official does not say it was shipped before 9-11. The official does not say the Chinese shipped it. The official does not say that the shipment may have been purchased by some other group and resold to the Taliban.
