#4 "I don't want to be going to Walter Reed for another eight years,"

#6 WE can guess how CHINA = CHIHN NETTERS feel about.

To wit, WMF > CHINA RE-DISCOVERS THE TASTE OF IMPERIALIST WAR WITH THE SMOKE BILLOWING FROM XINJIANG. OBAMA'S TROOPS SURGE SUPPORTS THE US ENCIRCLEMENT AND ISOLATION OF CHINA [Xinjiang = New Manchurian-Nanking/Sino-Japanese Incidents ala WW2]???

ARTIC > YEAR 2010 [2010-2012 = OBAMA first term] likely to be DECISIVE PERIOD FOR CHINA + ISLAMIST THREAT

* SAME WMF > JAPAN HAS NO LOVE FOR CHINA'S NUCLEAR WEAPONS: JAPANESE ARE A "SMALL PEOPLE" FOR NEVER HAVING TRUST IN CHINA [as based in Chin and NORTH KOREA, China's "East WInd-21" DF21 MRBMS can easily destroy Japan + US Okinawa. Mainland Japan Bases].
