Please, please, please! Any references to DEBKA should have the usual "barrel of salt" disclaimer. Definitely worth discussing and posting, but not everyone who reads this board knows that DEBKA is not a shining example of journalistic veracity. I suggest the designation "possible BS" to denote the requisite barrel of salt at the end of any DEBKA article.

>> China Moves Forces into Afghanistan Do you feel this article from DEBKA has any merit? If not, you might want to consider that you risk diminishing the overall credibility of this thread by using a headline from an unsubstantiated and improbable article published in a sensationalist journal as the lead for your post. uf

Chinese forces entering Afghanistan to fight ALONGSIDE Muslim extremists? LOL!! Not freakin likely. China and Russia, orders of magnitude more than the United States, stand to gain from the crushing of Islamic fundamentalist militancy in Central Asia. Rather, the Chinese are using this as an opportunity to brutalize Uighur seperatists in Xianjing. No time like the present, while the world will look the other way.
