No, that's not it at all. Clinton's commerce department approved the release of launch technology to China over the objections of the defense department. Prior to acquiring this technology, China had no ability to launch missiles to our mainland. This has been well documented and I'm surprised you ignore the facts in favor of politics.

X, facts are stupid things, as somebody once said, but I can't resist a certain factoid interjection when this issue comes up. From nytimes.com When American bomb makers began visiting China in 1979, they were startled by increasingly pointed questions that suggested their Chinese peers were hot on the trail of the secret to building a modern nuclear arsenal. It allows H-bombs to be made so small that many can fit atop a single missile or be fired from trucks, submarines and other mobile platforms. China succeeded on Sept. 25, 1992, the news coming from a spy who told his American handlers that Beijing had exploded a bomb based on the miniaturization secret. Cheers, Dan.
