<While you're at it, maybe you could explain how contra drug running through the Mena airport was all Clinton's fault, too.> Hey Shuh, You were lamenting about not getting any examples of making up statements for others. How about that Mena statement ? <Mid '80s, Neocon. Who was in charge of China policy then? Have you no shame?> I guess you still do not want to comment on this : <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.>
