Saddam Hussein's son is laying in a hospital paralyzes from waist down, with four bullets lodged in his pelvis and spine from recent assassination attempt. The U.S. military has been moving men and materiel into the area, irrespective of Saddam's recent buildup of 200,000 men on the Kuwaiti border. The U.S. government is very concerned, as it not only could lose its influence in the entire region, but also witness a major attack on Israel is launched and not be able to do much about it. When the U.S. calls up reservists, that is the point you will know that the developing situation in the Middle East is at or near the flash point. Diplomacy vs Covert Operations Use Diplomacy not Covert Operations U.S. intelligence officials apparently give China's leaders little credit.
China knows the name of the game, lets deal honestly with that country.
The Marxist regime in China has committed atrocities on a scope and scale even exceeding that of the Nazis. We are still waiting for any hard information from you to contradict the claim in the PBS documentary that the Chinese leadership starved to death 30 million Chinese citizens in a three-year span from 1959 to 1961. The total number of deaths has been placed as high as 80 million for the entire life of the regime. I would also like to see the hard numbers for the number of civilian deaths caused by the Western democratic world in this century, and by the CIA during the life of its existence. The death toll on the Marxist side, let us recall, exceeds 100 million.
