Hi Slacker:
such a classic thread i just wanted to bump it up to the top again!
Go back to the Opening Post and note my 'China' Thesis is based upon available evidence. China is the new superpower and a 'Threat' to the USA:
DefenseNews.com
The China Threat is very real, as the USA continues to decline into a third-world nation. Everything will make perfect sense, when the Obama declares Medical Martial Law (H1N1 Mutates) and foreign troops begin setting up roadblocks and checkpoints around every major metropolitan area in the Fascist State of CanAmeriMexico. Then you will realize that China already owns you (story and story) ...McKeon Fears 2010 QDR To Scale Back 'China Threat'

The top Republican on the U.S. House Armed Services Committee said on Jan. 13 he is worried the Obama administration's first Quadrennial Defense Review will "downgrade" China's military build-up as a threat to the United States.
"When we receive the QDR, I will be looking closely at any changes to the [Defense] Department's assessment of China," Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon of California said in a prepared statement delivered at the start of a hearing on security developments related to China.
"My fear is that we will downgrade the China threat in an attempt to justify last year's and future cuts to key defense programs," McKeon said.
He pointed to the Pentagon's 2006 QDR and last year's DoD report to Congress on China's military, saying both analyses concluded the Asian powerhouse is the one nation that likely could compete with the U.S. military.
McKeon noted that the 2006 and 2009 Pentagon studies said China has been fielding more advanced weapons, including fighters, submarines, access-denial systems, and space and cyber systems.
"If the conclusion is the same as it was in 2006, then I expect the president's [2011 defense] budget to invest in the necessary capabilities to execute our contingency plans in Asia," McKeon said. "This is the type of strategic reassurance our allies need and is the key to stability in Asia."
The administration is completing the 2010 QDR, which will be delivered to Congress and unveiled in early February. The strategic review is expected to cover a long list of issues, including China's growing military and economic prowess.

You sir are mistaken. I have read this thread from start to finish and clicked on all the links several times. It's one of my personal favorites.
I thank you for this post, and the other one too.
The Noah reference is something I have already gotten quite a lot of ammusment out of, and the day is young.
Terral really, Thank you for that!
I have been considering compiling messages from forums on the internet into some kind of book. I am seriously considering an entire chapter just for you. Well, it would be you and those that you are replying to.
No Terral, you really got it wrong when you assumed I didn't read the beginning of the thread. I revived it because it's one of my favorites.
I applaud your tenacity sir, and really enjoy reading your posts. Please don't change a thing, keep up the good work!
You could write a whole book on Terral.
