Vitchilo Posts: 4624 Incept: 2011-04-27	This is sure to***** off China... http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/US_vot.... Quote: US votes to sell Taiwan 66 new fighter jets The House of Representatives voted Friday to require the United States to sell 66 new fighter-jets to Taiwan, with lawmakers saying the deal would close a growing military gap with China. The House of Representatives voted to force President Barack Obama's administration to authorize the sale of F-16 jets in addition to plans under way to upgrade existing planes. The measure still needs Senate approval. I doubt the democrats will block this bill. Now the only factor is how long will it take to supply them to Taiwan and what will China do about it? ---------- "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats." -- H.L.

We support our military hardware producers, and our friend know that these planes are no real threat. We probably got permission from the Chinese to make the sale and look good to the voters. ---------- Our elected take an oath to serve. Time to add: “I will not serve in a capacity which I am not able to comprehend or am incapable of by mental defect of any kind, nor will I use the excuse of intellective deficiency if found in violation of this oath/affirmation”, which backs charging wayward politicians with treason. 2012-05-21 05:07:13 Permalink

Quote: Reacting to the vote, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei said the decision "constitutes a grave interference in China's internal affairs". "Advocating arms sales to Taiwan seriously contravenes the one China policy," under which Beijing claims Taiwan as part of its territory. Boohoo. What ya gonna do about it Jack? Nothing, that's what. ---------- "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats." -- H.L. Mencken 2012-05-21 23:31:00 Permalink*

Yippee for me! ---------- Success in life is a matter not so much of talent and opportunity as of concentration and perseverance. – C. W. Wendte 2012-05-22 00:48:29 Permalink
