" Clinton continued the China policies he inherited."
Mostly wrong Daniel :
- Yes, engagement of China on trade was a Bush policy.
- No, taking the Pentagon out of the loop by switching control over technology from State to Commerce was not a Bush policy.
- No, accepting money from Chinese sources was not a Bush policy.
- No, putting the President in the situation to be blackmailed over Taiwan was not a Bush policy.
- No, tacitly admitting that Taiwan was China's prerogative only was not a Bush policy.
"The Chinese dumped a lot of money on Clinton."
That's a fact Daniel.
" Correlation is not causation, except in the minds of the rational right"
So, when Charlie Trie delivers a letter to Clinton from his Chinese handlers asking him to back off on Taiwan (and a check for his legal defense fund), that's just another coincidence ? Like the string of women who just happen to say that Clinton is sexual predator ?
And when you see China flexing its muscle in SE Asia, conspiring with Pakistan and Irak, and causing India to detonate their N- bomb, that's also just a coincidence ?
"At least when the money in question is on the wrong side of the aisle, when it's on the "right" side, all the money flowing through has nothing to do with policy considerations."
I don't remember any politician ever compromising National Security for campaign funds. If you can name one case, I'll tell you the guy should be thrown in jail.
"And remember when all those nuclear secrets apparently leaked out. Not on Clinton's watch, Bonzo. The leak is what compromised national security. Want to blame Clinton for Aldrich Ames , too? That one was revealed in the Clinton administration, but the US agents in Russia were rolled up somewhat earlier."
This is so lame. Spying has always been there. Pretending that it did not exist, and try to cover your sorry ass for accepting Chinese money and being corruptly influenced by a military junta is all we could expect of a President that won't even try to prove he is not a rapist.
I just can't understand how you can go on Daniel. Stop reading that Newsweek shit while sitting in Wisconsin. Buy a plane ticket, travel to China, and see for yourself . These guys do not play above the table. They never will until you slap them in the face whenever is needed. That's true in business, and that's true in dealing with their Government. Engaging them : yes ! Bending over, NO! |
