When you make the statement that Broaddrick is not credible, you make a judgment call that she is lying . ( If you thought her story was true, or if you were unsure, you would say that she is credible.)
< Who was running the country in the mid-1980s, JBL? Who was cooperating with the Chinese then? I know, Reagan had Alzheimer's, how can you blame him for anything? >
You are not that simple minded Daniel.
Yes, the Chinese stole these secrets in the mid-80's, but the Clinton Administration pretended Chinese spying did not exist, and refused to act on it until recently, in order to avoid embarrassment of admitting that US policy regarding technology exports with potential military application had been influenced by Chinese money before and during the 96 Presidential campaign.
As you know, Clinton personally intervened (through executive order), to have authority over US technology exports transfered from State to Commerce Department, in effect taking the Pentagon watchdogs out of the loop. He had to reverse this decision and transfer authority back to State recently. (The latest result being refusal of State 2 weeks ago to allow Hughes to deliver a $ 450,000,000 Telecom Satelite to the Chinese, a contract previously authorized by Commerce.)
The Chinese military took advantage of corruption in the Clinton Administration to gain access to previously restricted technology. It is an established fact that the Riadys in Indonesia have connections to the PLA. James Riady and his son gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Clinton Defense Fund, and Clinton Campaign. You can call me liar all you want. These are facts. If you feel like blowing Clinton some more, go ahead, he counts on people like you. Just know what you're doing.
