MND warns attack could come soon - Taiwan

The US Department of Defense believes China might attack Taiwan in 2006 or 2008, Vice Minister of National Defense Tsai Ming-hsien (???) said yesterday.

"The US has solid intelligence on China and China is likely to have a better air force and navy than Taiwan after 2006, so the US made such a judgment," he said.

Tsai made the statement when asked about China's military threat during a question and answer session at the legislature's National Defense Committee.

"If China provokes us and makes the first move to attack Taiwan, our military will certainly strike back. Our targets will include Chinese military facilities and the sources of the attack. The Three Gorges Dam, however, will not be a target," Tsai said.

What in the heck is pResident Bush's brother in partnership with the dirty Communist Chinese Government. In fact, aWol would inherit these investments if his brother passed away. (I'm guessing). Thus the pResident of the United States has investments in a Communist murderous regime.

I am 1000% sure that if America invested just 1% into Cuba that which it is investing into Communist China, Cuba would become just like Hawaii. I have a friend who has spent a lot of time in Cuba over the last 6 years and he says it's a just wonderful, friendly, culture rich country and people. Cuba is NOT threatening anyone in the world.

3. Actually
There has been considerable Taiwan-China tension despite their trade, since both entered the WTO. If China does "provoke" Taiwan, it would give the U.S. grounds to attack China. China has been resisting U.S. demands to convert to the yuan. Also, there have been reports that northern China has been hosting Islamic terrorists since 2001.
