With compliments to Clinton's gifts: China advances missile program By Bill Gertz THE WASHINGTON TIMES June 22, 2005 China has successfully flight-tested a submarine-launched missile that U.S. officials say marks a major advance in Beijing's long-range nuclear program. "This is a significant milestone in their effort to develop strategic weapons," said a U.S. official familiar with reports of the test. U.S. intelligence agencies monitored the flight test of a JL-2 missile about 10 days ago, officials said. The missile was launched from a Chinese submarine near the port of Qingdao and was tracked to a desert impact point in western China several thousand miles away, the officials said. The Air Force's National Air Intelligence Center reported that the JL-2 "will, for the first time, allow Chinese [missile submarines] to target portions of the United States from operating areas located near the Chinese coast." The JL-2 is estimated to have a range of up to 6,000 miles, enough to hit targets in the United States. A defense official said the missile test was a major step forward in China's strategic nuclear missile program and shows an improved capability to produce and launch submarine-launched missiles. "It was a successful test," this official said. The JL-2 is a submarine version of the DF-31 land-based missile. A flight test of the JL-2 last year failed, U.S. intelligence officials said. In December, however, China launched the first of a new class of ballistic missile submarines known as the Type 094. It was not known whether the JL-2 missile was launched from the new submarine or from another submarine modified for missile launch tests. China previously has used a modified Russian-design submarine for missile tests. washtimes.com

"You conservatives out there, if you have a liberal friend or relative out there who's -- let's just say a few bricks short of a load -- send this to them and let them know that they breath easy." Soothing The Loony Left By John Hawkins on Conspiracy Theories Right Wing News As I perused the Democratic Underground, I came across another kooky Republicans ='s Nazis thread, which admittedly is rather unexceptional these days. While it would be easy to just call a moonbat a moonbat here, I decided to do something a little different this time. What I would like to do is reassure all you leftwing nuts out there -- and you know who I'm talking about -- you with the tinfoil hat on, who thinks the election was rigged and Bush might be behind 9/11, you're who I'm talking to here -- I'd like to let you know that most of your deepest, darkest fears about conservatives are groundless. Take my word for it when I tell you this, because I know that of which I speak. Thousands of conservatives read what I write each day, the RNC now answers my email, and I've interviewed countless numbers of big name conservatives. Moreover, I consume enormous amounts of content written by conservatives. Typically, I read 90+ blogs and 10-15 right-of-center political websites each day. So while I may not be the spokesman for conservatism, I understand conservatism very well and I when you read what I'm about to say about to say about conservatives, believe it, because it's absolutely true. All you loony libs ready? Here goes, here's the truth about conservatives: -- We don't want to put you in camps. -- We're also overwhelmingly opposed to the idea of a police state. -- We detest Fascism & Nazism, just as we detest Communism. -- We also don't believe there's any danger of America becoming a Fascist country. -- We don't believe Bush is "another Hitler" or that there is any chance America will become "another Nazi Germany". -- We're overwhelmingly against a draft. -- We don't believe it's unpatriotic to disagree with the President. -- As a matter of fact, many of us disagree with the President, particularly when it comes to illegal immigration and deficit spending. -- Not only do we believe in following the Constitution, we believe we're much more serious about doing so than our political opponents. -- We believe conservative economic policies are more beneficial to poor and middle-class Americans than liberal policies. -- We're overwhelmingly opposed to the idea of creating an American empire. -- We don't believe the Bush administration let 9/11 happen on purpose or made it happen on purpose. -- We don't believe Iraq was a war for oil. -- We don't think the war in Afghanistan was about oil or a pipeline. -- We don't believe Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction. -- We don't dislike people because of their skin color. -- We don't believe the vote was rigged in 2000 or 2004. -- We would rather lose an election than cheat to win. -- We're totally opposed to theocracy and dominionism. You conservatives out there, if you have a liberal friend or relative out there who's -- let's just say a few bricks short of a load -- send this to them and let them know that they breath easy. Sure, liberals and conservatives may not agree on a lot of things, but at least the lefties who're waiting for the FBI to kick in the door and drag them off to a death camp can rest a little easier a now... rightwingnews.com democraticunderground.com
