China continued to supply arms to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda terrorist even after the group began the September 11 attack on America, says a senior U.S. official.

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 shoulder-fired anti-aircraft weapons are similar to the U.S. Stinger.

We already know the Taliban and al Qaeda got sizable arms shipments from China, which borders Afghanistan on the north. Opposition forces found huge amounts of Chinese ammunition in the caves of Tora Bora. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld says Chinese have been found fighting among al Qaeda.

This does not surprise me but when will Americans read all of the MADE IN CHINA labels after they return from Wal-Mart and wake-up.

YES!!!

This better be all over the news. It is as a horrific explosive as 9/11 IMO.

It's meaningless. And this story has been posted about 8 times on FR since yesterday.

And Chinese ammo and weapons are EVERYWHERE. You don't need to get them directly from the PRC. People in the US have all kinds of Chinese ammo in their basements. They don't have SA-7s, but SA-7s are very easy to get from a lot of countries.

"The ship was seriously degraded in her ability to conduct air operations," said a report by a Navy Board of Inspection and Survey of the Dec. 3-7 inspection. "Three of four aircraft elevators were out of commission, two of four catapults were degraded, and the overall flight deck firefighting capability was seriously degraded. These major system degradations were in addition to a significant number of deficiencies noted in the fueling system. "

Politics (the Clinton Years) and lack of funding and downsizing ended all of the much needed training/ops/exercises in Gitmo of years ago.

But the article is much to negative IMO as the newer carriers are ready to roll.While the U.S.S. Kennedy is an older ship; highlighting her was a way to show PMS and yard time is not what it used to be.I blame Clinton.

Gee .. now why am I not surprised .. I also could help notice the referrence Bin Ladin made in that tape about the Chinese ..

It also would not surprise if bin ladin is hiding in China .. it really isn't that far away ..

I'd keep a real close eye on China .. they seem to be supplying alot of people these days ..

Also would not be surprise if China was trying to get all these terrorists groups to do their dirty work for them .. cause they know they can't do it themself ..

Yes .. I remember reading about that also .. I'm telling you .. we better not take our eyes off China .. all the stuff I've read .. and things they did during the Clinton Administration ..

China's goal is to be #1 .. but they can't do it by themself .. which may be the reason they are sending stuff out all over the place ... didn't they just stock up Cuba .. and then there is the Panama Cannel .. then there is the trigger happy North Koreans .. and now all this with Bin Ladin ..

Call me crazy .. but it's not passing the smell test ..

Weak argument.When the yellow skins attack as slick as a snake will you say oh they are everywhere...they are commonly everywhere.Probably not, as they will not need to step foot on our soil.China is not the good guy's as they are innocently milking us and empowering their military with pokemon $EASONAL $ALES.
