Chicoms: Countries Should Not Develop Missile-Defense Systems
— Dave in Texas

Because it undermines "global strategic stability."

Oh sorry, did we say "countries? We meant other countries, countries that are not the People's Republic of China." Those countries.

Meanwhile we think we'll just go ahead and test ours.

The Pentagon said it had not received prior notification of the test and declined to see any link with arms sales to Taiwan. However it confirmed that the test had taken place and was seeking more information.

"We detected two geographically separated missile launch events with an exo-atmospheric collision also being observed by space-based sensors," said Major Maureen Schumann, a Pentagon spokeswoman.

This likely confuses President Awesomeness as he is under the impression missile-defense is like, no big deal or anything.

1 Well, sure. I don't think countries other than the US should have nukes. Life's rough.

3 Well the Chicoms will probably just stop testing and shit can the system like we did in Poland because like they want everyone to love them also?

4 Oh so now we are letting other countries build weapon systems above and beyond ours? This is truly a post American world.

5 I agree. Since I won, I think that I will take the unprecedented opportunity I have as Commander-in-chief of my armed forces to disarm my military as soon as possible. I will be sending all of my aircraft, ships and nuclear missiles to worthy and needy countries like Iran and Syria that have been left behind negligently by the past administration that acted so recklessly before I was elected. You may kiss my ring, now.

It's ok, it's not like they're selling nuclear parts to the Iranians, or anything unstable like that. I'm sure we can trust them.

9 The Chinese political/military officials must pinch themselves every morning when they wake up. Their chief rival is taking a voluntary 4 year hiatus from responsibility just when things are really starting to shift around the globe.
Still 3 more years to go, so keep your fingers crossed that we'll be able to get back up to speed quickly come 2012.

I doubt Zero even realizes the significance of this. I doubt anyone in his gallery of imbeciles (cabinet) is capable of recognizing the significance of this event either. I expect no comment to be made by them, and no questions by his ass lickers in the MSM.

BTW, Big Journalism says that Fox News makes more money than all the other news groups combined. Do you think they think that is significant?

I had a prof in college who urged us to learn Mandarin instead of Spanish. His logic was that, while Spanish would be more useful in day-to-day life, the Chinese were the ones to impress if you wanted to get ahead in the future business landscape. It's either that or Hindi.

Heh. Back in ancient times (4 or 5 years ago) on a local MA blog, that was a huge talking point of the Libs. Literally thousands of posts over months or even years devoted to the "impossibility of hitting a bullet with a bullet", and so on. Plenty of self-declared scientists chiming in, the whole deal.

I suppose it's too much to hope that since he admires the Chicoms and their infrastructure and their way of governing without opposition so much, he'll change his mind about the awesomeness of missile defense since they have one.

No, they'll never admit they were wrong. That's a hazard of having such an emotional attachment to political ideas or politicians.
If you "love" a certain politician, or you feel especially close to him on a personal level, you're likely to tolerate it when he performs poorly or fails ethically. Kind of like you'd give a family member a "second chance" after he let you down. It is just an absurd way of thinking. The devout Obamites (for one example) don't realize that the relationship is an illusion, and that the only real part of it is the power accrued by Obama.

I am in an unbelievably foul mood after watching David "I play a Republican on TV" Gergen, while moderating the Massachusetts Senate debate, call the position "Teddy Kennedy's seat".  To Scott Brown's credit, he called it "the people's seat."

We should not have nobility in this country--the Constitution says so.  Political dynasties and a professional political class are going to ruin us.

38 Lefties will somehow blame Bush for this predicament.  Maybe because Bush didn't incinerate all of our nukes.  This made the Chinese scared, scared enough to steal plans for ballistic missile defense.  I mean, Bush rammed a recon aircraft into a Chinese fighter.  How can you feel safe with a man like that in power?

Of course not. Why should they tell us anything? They're the new world power, and we're the has-been.

Oh well, it was a good run. I'm sure the Chicoms will be just as eager to sponsor the growth of democracy around the globe as the US was. There's no such thing as national character. We all want the same thing for the world.

If you remember a time when someone other than JFK, Smith (Teddy's coatholder) or Teddy were Senator then you are probably retired or dead.

66 Gotta love how the Chinese paint this as an issue of China's national security being threatened...by Taiwan! As if the country with the world's largest army really had anything to fear! The Taiwanese would be suicidal idiots to even think about an offensive attack. My Taiwanese mother jokes that the mainlanders could form a bridge of human bodies over the Taiwan Strait and cross that way...rather apropos when you consider the Communists' disregard for the lives of their own people.

The Taiwanese really just want to be left alone. But tyrants are always threatened by the mere existence of democracy. The mere existence of Taiwan is an affront to the arrogance of the Chinese.
