c-span bushbot: Clinton gave satellite to China??
and that is why they are beating the US in military build up? Umm wasn't that deal cancelled??

<snip>

The Clinton administration has blocked a multi-million dollar satellite deal with China, saying it could jeopardise America's national security interests.

The $450m Hughes Electronics satellite was designed to provide a mobile telephone network for much of Asia and was ordered by the Asia Pacific Mobile Telecommunications consortium based in Singapore.

President Clinton approved the sale two-and-a-half years ago, but officials now say that, within the 51% of the consortium that is Chinese-owned, there are organisations with links to the People's Liberation Army.

1. I heard that too. Next they'll blame him for Long Beach Naval Base
when it was all Bush I administration 'Old China Hands' that organized the whole thing.

I'll always remember that GHWB's response to T Square was, "I tried to call Deng, but he's not answering the phone."
