#1 Just like them darned Chineese guys to go jacking up the prices of my cheap confuser parts on account of all this saber rattling and ballistic missiles and stuff like that.

#2 Hu also urged the PLA, the worldâs biggest army, to "comprehensively revolutionize, modernize and standardize," newspapers said.

WTF? This is a communist system, you figure it out and pass it down from on high. Who ever heard of a delegating communist?

#4 All that preparation will keep them busy and out of trouble for the moment, anyway.

#5 It's not delegation, it's exhortation. Communists are big on that kind of thing. You know, drive the screws in quickly with hammers rather than use screwdrivers because you are being exhorted to meet the production quota in the state factory.

#6 With of course, the 100 participation of Taiwan's armed forces, we would need at least the following recipe if this blows out to an all are nothing confrontation with the "Great Dragon": 100 nukes (DEFCON2), 300 MOAB's, 5,000 cruise missiles, 10,000 JDAM's and atleast 300,000 ground forces to slay it! A clear cut war (nation to nation), we would not need to hold back because of collateral damage! Are we commited?

#7 I propose that we inhibit the PLA amphibious capability by placing a moratorium on export of Evinrude products to China. My plan should work brilliantly as long as we aren't actually importing Evinrude outboards from China - if so disregard my proposal. :-}
