China - Striking the US where it hurts (Asia Times)
This is a long, two-part article from the Asia Times. The author is a General from the Philippines who was educated in the US, and also has knowledge of the Chinese and Russian militaries. It's basically how China, Russia, and Iran could team up to defeat the US if war were to break out in either Iran or Taiwan. Scary stuff. He ends it by saying WAKE UP, AMERICA!!

AMERICA'S ACUPUNCTURE POINTS
PART 1: Striking the US where it hurts
By Victor N Corpus

A noted Chinese theorist on modern warfare, Chang Mengxiong, compared China's form of fighting to "a Chinese boxer with a keen knowledge of vital body points who can bring an opponent to his knees with a minimum of movements". It is like key acupuncture points in ancient Chinese medicine. Puncture one vital point and the whole anatomy is affected. If America ever goes to war with China, say, over Taiwan, then America should be prepared for the following "acupuncture points" in its anatomy to be "punctured". Each of the vital points can bring America to its knees with a minimum of effort.

5. With the three stooges running the US govt, who couldn't beat us?
Like taking candy from a baby.

I am surprised some tin pot dictator hasn't thought of it already.

Gee, maybe they have?

6. This administration mismanaged a war with a 3rd rate war machine
Edited on Thu Oct-19-06 07:14 PM by Old and In the Way
machine and a population of 24MM. Does anyone really think Bush, the AWOL Incomptent-in-Chief and his braintrust of Beta-mokkeys could deal with a united world against us? After they drop the financial bombs, the war machine will go belly up anyway.

The good news, is that the world would demand the hides of Bush, Cheney, et al to stand in the Hague for their war crimes as part of the reparations that we'd have to pay.
