CLINTON WELCOMES AN INVESTIGATION? SURE HE DOES.

I am still waiting for the outrage to settle in over Clinton's dealings with the Chinese military. New facts have emerged ... is anyone interested?

Let's try to make this simple. Commercial satellites ... like those Clinton has been allowing China to launch for his big campaign contributors ... used to be on the "munitions" list and were subject to the control of the State Department.

Clinton's campaign donors, Loral Space and Communications and Hughes Electronics among them, wanted these communications satellites (complete with their military secrets) taken off the munitions list and control over export of these satellites shifted to the Commerce Department.

Most of Clinton's military and intelligence advisors warned against the change. This includes the Secretary of State, the Defense Department and America's intelligence agencies. In a classified order Secretary of State Warren Christopher warned that embedded in commercial satellites were tech secrets that could jeopardize "significant military and intelligence interests."

In spite of the objections, Clinton transferred control of satellite exports to Ron Brown's Commerce Department. The Pentagon has said that the national security interests of the U.S. have been harmed by this move.

Perhaps so ... but the financial interests of several Clinton and Democrat campaign donors have been improved.

Now Clinton says he welcomes an investigation into this matter. Sure he does. He welcomed an investigation in the FBI files, Monica Lewinsky and Whitewater too. Then, as soon as the "welcome" investigation begins the White House stonewalling starts.

Clinton -- ever the master of saying one thing, and doing the other.
