Why is Cheney Lobbying for a Boost in China's Nuclear Capability?
By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS

<snip>The moronic Bush administration is all concerned about "weapons of mass destruction" where they aren't, not where they are. Why in the world is the Bush administration using up the US military and its weapons systems in Iraq, a country that was no threat whatsoever to the US, while aiding and abetting China's rapidly growing economic and military power?...<snip>

...Why does Cheney want to sell nuclear reactors to China, but order the US Strategic Command to prepare to nuke Iran's nuclear power capability, a capability that would allow Iran to sell more oil to an energy-starved world?<snip>
