OT; RE China

There was a very good interview with a retired Admiral on PBS Newshour last night. The guy said that the Chinese are not "familar" with the cat-n-mouse game that the spy planes play with ground forces. He said the Russians were very used to it and this was considered routine... penetrate, try to activate defenses, measure how they respond and take the data home... It seems that he felt the Chinese were new to this and that the incidents between us and them have been increasing for the past few months.

I head today that there might be two factions inside China debating how to handle this and this debate is slowing a final resolution. Bush seems to be firm but patient. IF the electronics inside the plan are toast, then there really is no rush as I doubt strongly that the service men inside are in danger for their lives...

The funny thing is China NEEDS AMAT gear to burry Japan once and for all to make up for WWII occupation. They can't do this if they battle over petty stuff with us.
