All I asked was what people had against former President Clinton, and said that it seemed like he did a pretty good job, all things being equal. You should not assume that this is a blind backing post. I'm not that polarized towards any single position ... but likewise, I'm not going to play the "blame them all" game. You don't see me hammer on President Bush either, but instead, clearly state that it's a tough job and mistakes are made. After 31 posts, someone has finally come up with something better then blowjobs and what happened in 196-something. The super computer sales was a small issue ... the satellite technology with clear military applications, was worse. The French and British were already set to sell the super computer technology to the Chinese. What the United States basically gave them, was actually slightly inferior to what they were set to buy, primarily from France. The satellite technology is a completely different animal, as it represents technology the Chinese couldn't have gotten from anyone but the United States. The way it was done, was "Slich Willy" slick, too. The United States also sold machine tools that can be used to make cruise missiles, listing them as being used to make C-17 aircraft. Chine has never built a C-17, but has quite a few cruise missiles. All this outrage, of course, assumes that China is out enemy, which may not be the case.
