Hu Jintao Pay Your Debts! You Expected Iraq to!

The Red Chinese threat


Hats off to Frank Gaffney for his excellent and incisive analysis of how Communist China operates to exploit the current administration’s ruinous trade policies (“China’s double standard," Commentary, Tuesday).


Now we learn that in addition to supplying weapons and ammunition to Taliban fighters and Iraqi insurgents with which to kill American soldiers (“China arming terrorists," Inside the Ring, June 15), China is garnering a share of post-liberation Iraq’s oil. In mid-2003, our firm prepared a briefing circular that warned of the dangerous consequences to U.S. national security of leaving Iraq’s Saddam Hussein-era sovereign debt owed to the Communist Chinese government outstanding. A copy of our brief was provided to both Karl Rove and Condoleezza Rice, who then was the president’s national security adviser, and in it we predicted the eventuality of China’s gaining access to Iraq’s national petroleum reserves through a negotiated debt-cancellation scheme. The administration took no action, with the result that Communist China enjoys enhanced energy security at the cost of the lives of many hundreds of U.S. servicemen and women who fought to liberate Iraq.


Even the most casual observer has to wonder whether it is the permissive stance of this administration toward China’s refusal to honor repayment of its defaulted sovereign obligations held by Americans that directly encourages the Chinese government to write its own rules of international conduct. According to the president of the U.S. Foreign Bondholders Protective Council, in more than 40 settlements involving defaulted national debt, the Communist Chinese government is the only nation that steadfastly has refused to negotiate the settlement of its defaulted sovereign debt held by Americans.


We consider the present situation to be nothing short of outrageous. The president, proudly bestowing upon himself the title of “war president," supports trade policies with China that actively undermine the national security interests of the United States and our armed forces. The existing policies only serve the interests of the Chinese government, certain multinational corporations and a select few Wall Street institutions. In this regard, we should not fail to note that under the administration’s prevailing trade policies, America’s chief export to China consists of U.S. jobs, which are disappearing at an estimated rate of 2,250 per day.


It also is revealing to note the shift in policy recently announced by Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr., who stated that the emphasis is shifting away from China’s currency manipulation, which constitutes the most proximate cause for the dislocation of U.S. jobs and entire industries, and toward the lessening of restrictions on outbound investment from mainland China. This policy shift may be expected to further the erosion of the U.S. employment base while assisting certain Chinese actors in recycling profits earned from the U.S.-China trade imbalance into U.S. assets. The recent acquisition of 9.9 percent of the U.S. buyout fund Blackstone is just the precursor of the change in ownership of U.S. assets for which the stage is being set hastily.


We join with Mr. Gaffney in urging readers to actively express their support to Congress in favor of H. Con. Res. 160 and similar legislation in an attempt to reform the prevailing policy of coddling Communist China while selling out America.

Storms prove nothing

There have been storms, floods, and hurricains since the world began. How does that prove global warming? Its all bullshit from Al Gore. There are also dust storms on mars, does that prove anything? I have yet to see a drowned polar bear and I haven’t seen any changes in anything to support the global warming theory. Its all bullshit from the liberals to collect more taxes from americans and big cooperations.....

In the past we have all heard about the south american rain forests being destroyed and how the demise of the earth is at hand. Now the prophets of doom are at it again. I dont believe the earth has gotten warmer by one degree since I was a child, some 60 years ago. Nothing has changed, and we still have clean air to breath because of the rains and storms. As for the o-zone, I dont see any holes and I dont see any damn o-zone either. All this crap is hatched up by some fucking idiot who needs to get off his ass and go to work like normal people.

SHIT

Global warmings coming fast and i know the worlds got to end sometime and this might be the way for it to go. for that person who recons it aint coming well i hope he knows that it is cause polar bears are already comin extict cause all the ice is melting from the artic and antarictic, same with penguins. Some people say its coming to an end in 100,0000 years, in 100 years and even in 12 years. If it does happen when im still alive and i havent had kids i will not have them and put them to suffer global warming i hope you wouldnt either cause that is pretty mean having a baby and pretty much let it drown in the rising seas. If there was a high peak we could go to (very doubtful) I would not bother as there is no ozone layer to protect us from UV rays and stuff would burn us to death or die of
skin cancer
The
trees may be killed in


the heat and we would not be able to breath. You cannot say that global warming isnt coming cause the country of Tualvau is already going under which is sad for most of the residents that live there.
Droughts ARE happening, Floods ARE happening, Storms ARE happening all around the earth. So i think global warming will wipe out the earth and im sorry if your alive when it gets SO serious like a year before the major rising of the seas. Kind Regards A random person whos name u dont need to know

More nonsense and tripe from a person who hides his identity while lying about someone stealing his name.

BTW: You are wrong about your assertation in the first sentence.

uncle toms the name theif...

... Has shown again, and another area , that he simply does not understand or comprehend... .

His ability to say “no” in the messianic mind of his is sufficient for him. It is also sufficient the show his lack of comprehension. Even the most inept with provide the source and reliabilty of his own convictions. From the messianic “no” its really a declaration 'I hear satan, so it must be opposed... .' Hense we get plenty of only “No” from uncle toms.

Inversely he hears satan behind every 'bush'!

More nonsense from the one who thinks he is right about everything. No facts, no evidence, just character assasination from him. Now, he is beginning to suffer from religious persecution.

It is not a lack of comprehension, it is a lack of facts and evidence to prove what Al Gore thinks is happening. I remember thirty years ago, they were screaming about global cooling.

For those with an open mind, see the following web site for examples of how reported data can be misleading, false, inaccurate, and just plain
wrong.

Droughts, floods, storms, etc. have been happening since the beginning of history. That is NOT proof of glowbull warming.

Rice is the staple of billions of people...

Expert says rising sea levels pose threat to rice
09 July 2007 : Rising sea levels triggered by climate change pose an “ominous” threat to some of the world’s most productive rice-growing areas, the International Rice Research Institute has warned.

]
The Philippines-based institution is devoting fresh efforts to mitigating the coming threat, but senior climate scientist Reiner Wassman said adequate funding had yet to materialise. “Some of Asia’s most important rice-growing areas are located in low-lying deltas, which play a vital role in regional food security and supplying export markets," Wassman told the IRRI magazine Rice Today.

“With Vietnam so dependent on rice grown in and around low-lying river deltas, the implications of a sea-level rise are ominous indeed." Rice is the staple cereal of nearly half the world’s 6.6 billion people. Wassman said the impact of global warming on the key cereal would depend on the patterns of change in rice-growing regions.

But he warned a threatened rise of between 10 and 85 centimetres (four to 34 inches) in sea levels over the next century could have “enormous” impacts on some countries, including key rice exporter Vietnam. IRRI is cooperating with Hanoi to assess the impact of sea-level rise scenarios in the Mekong delta, he said. The organisation this year launched a project to assess the possible impact of climate change on rice output and find ways of adapting rice-growing to the new realities of global warming.

Sweltering in Europe...
:eek:
Central and Southern Europe Sizzling
Jul 20, 2007 — A heat wave sweeping central and southeastern Europe killed at least 13 people this week, with soaring temperatures sparking forest fires, damaging crops and prompting calls to ban horse-drawn tourist carriages.

]
In Romania, where temperatures reached 104 degrees Friday, the Health Ministry said at least nine people had died since Monday due to heat. In Austria, where highs had hovered around 95 degrees for days, the Health Ministry said three deaths Thursday were likely heat-related. Austrian media said at least five people had died from the heat, including an elderly woman who collapsed on a Vienna street Friday.

A 56-year-old woman collapsed and died in Zagreb, Croatia, of what doctors believed was a heat-related heart attack. Temperatures in the Balkan country reached about 104 Friday. Elsewhere, authorities in Slovakia and Hungary distributed free water in some cities. In the eastern Hungarian town of Kiskunhalas, temperatures reached a record 107.4, according to the national weather center.

Greece’s Fire Service reported 115 fires Thursday, and firefighters struggled Friday to contain a blaze at an old army base near Athens, where temperatures reached 105.8. France, not affected by the heat wave, sent some firefighting planes to Greece to help out. Heat also sparked forest fires in parts of Italy, Romania and Bulgaria, where a state of emergency was declared in the southern districts of Haskovo and Stara Zagora. Strong winds and high temperatures complicated efforts to contain the blazes and Bulgarian authorities called on army and police units for help. The extreme heat and lack of rain was also a concern for farmers.

Sweltering in Asia too...

Temperature is rising; hitting new summer highs
Saturday, July 21, 2007 - The Central Weather Bureau (CWB) yesterday recorded a high of 37.7 degrees Celsius — the hottest temperature so far this summer.

]
The mercury soared in Taipei City to reach the record-high at 2:08 p.m., making this July 20 the ninth hottest day in the capital city’s history. According to the CWB, Taipei’s highest historic temperature for July was 38.6 C, recorded in 1921. The northern port city of Keelung also surpassed 37 degrees Celsius around noon, the CWB reported. Other Taiwan areas had milder temperatures ranging between 33 degrees Celsius and 35 degrees Celsius due to the effects of a high-pressure front from the Pacific Ocean.

While the front is expected to stabilize the weather in most of the island by lowering the possibility of rain, central and southern mountainous areas will still see sporadic rain and thunderstorms, said the CWB. Temperatures in the northern area of the island will remain high between 27 to 37 degrees Celsius today and gradually decrease starting tomorrow and until next Friday to range between 26 to 35 degrees Celsius. Intermittent showers and thunderstorms are expected to start Tuesday and continue until Friday in northern and central parts of the island.

Central and southern areas will also experience high temperatures of 27 to 35 degrees Celsius today and tomorrow. Central temperatures will stay within the 26 to 35 degrees Celsius range during the work week. Temperatures in the south are expected to decrease by Tuesday to between 27 and 34 degrees Celsius, and remain at that range for the rest of the work week, according to the CWB. Due to the elevated temperatures, the CWB advised the public to wear sun screen and take the necessary precautions to avoid heat strokes.

“Once-In-A-Century” Floods Swamp China
July 23, 2007: Scores Killed, 300,000 Evacuated As Punishing Rainy Season Drones On

]
China’s president visited a flood-battered southern city on Sunday, expressing condolences and vowing to help the thousands affected as the death toll from rain-triggered floods, landslides and mud flows across the nation rose to 152 from this week alone. Since the start of the annual rainy season in May, floods have hit nearly half of China’s regions and killed at least 400 people, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

In the southwestern city of Chongqing, 42 people died and 12 have been reported missing. Another 300,000 people have been evacuated. China Central Television’s Sunday night news broadcast showed President Hu Jintao slogging through Chonqqing’s flooded streets in black galoshes and visiting with city residents whose homes had been inundated.

Hu was shown chatting with an elderly man living in a washed out apartment, asking, “How high was the water? Are you having any problems getting enough food? Do you have all the things you need to cook your rice?" During a speech in the city’s flooded Shapingba district, Hu told residents that the Communist Party and government were concerned about their welfare and would do everything possible to care for them.

Scientists: Rain Proves Climate Warming
July 23, 2007 - Scientists say they have first proof that warming is changing rainfall.

]
It’s been raining, unusually hard, in several parts of the world — England, China, India, and parts of the U.S. — and, quite by coincidence, there is a paper coming in this Thursday’s edition of the journal Nature, reporting that, “for the first time, climate scientists have clearly detected the human fingerprint on changing global precipitation patterns over the last century."

That phrase comes from the lead authors at Environment Canada, who worked with other scientists in Britain, Japan and the U.S. They compared rainfall patterns since 1925 with the changes that fourteen different computer models of the climate said ought to have happened, and found that in large parts of the world, they match pretty well.

“We show," they write in the Nature paper, “that anthropogenic forcing [i.e., changes caused by human activity:
has had a detectable influence on observed changes in average precipitation within latitudinal bands, and that these changes cannot be explained by internal climate variability or natural forcing." They found much of the Northern Hemisphere and the southern tropics getting wetter over time, and some tropical regions just north of the Equator — notably the Sahel region in Africa — getting drier.

Tornado in New York?
:eek:
N.Y. twister spawns talk of warming
Aug 10, 2007 - Single event can’t be tied to warming, but experts see a trend

]
Flooded subways? A tornado in Brooklyn? It was tempting to blame it all on global warming. Plenty of public officials were doing just that in the aftermath of a short but violent thunderstorm that paralyzed the nation’s largest mass transit network and tore the roofs off limestone townhouses. But in reality, it is not quite that simple, weather and climate experts say.

The storm, which gathered strength over Pennsylvania, drenched New Jersey and then pounded the city at sunrise Wednesday was strong but not particularly rare for a hot summer day, said Jeff Warner, a meteorologist at Pennsylvania State University.

Climate scientist James Hansen, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies, agreed: “You cannot blame a single specific event, such as this week’s storm, on climate change," he said. “However," he added, “it is fair to ask whether the human changes have altered the likelihood of such events. There the answer seems to be 'yes.'"

Extreme weather becoming more frequent
August 10, 2007 - MASSIVE floods, blistering heat waves and bizarre cold snaps since the start of the year may not be the result of climate change, but extreme weather has become more frequent, some scientists say.

]
The UN’s World Meteorological Organisation has reported on findings that “there is an increasing trend in extreme events observed during the last 50 years”. “Weather and climate are marked by record extremes in many regions across the world since January 2007," it said.

Examples are not hard to find. The death toll from the worst monsoon floods to hit South Asia in decades passed 2000 on yesterday while Britain’s recent floods were the country’s worst for 60 years.

Southern Europe has dealt with record temperatures this summer in a brutal heat wave, South Africa has seen unusually heavy snowfall and the Argentinian capital Buenos Aires got snow for the first time in 89 years. Cyclone Gonu, the first documented tropical cyclone in the Arabian Sea, hit Oman and Iran in June, causing 50 deaths.

Arkansas under flood alert...
:eek:
Water Surge in Ark., Rivers Keep Rising
Mar 25, 2008 - Volunteers Hold Back Levee 'Sand Boils' From Flooding River in Arkansas

]
Volunteers armed with sandbags held back water springing up from under a rural levee Tuesday as the White River continued its highest surge in a quarter-century through eastern Arkansas. The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning during the morning for rural Prairie County north of Interstate 40 after spotters noticed the levee had “sand boils” — water passing under the earthen barrier and appearing on the side like a muddy spring. By the afternoon, 100 volunteers held back the flow by building sandbag barriers for the water to be held in, creating pressure to stem the tide.

Thomas “Babe” Vincent, a levee district board member, praised the spirit of the volunteers. “We’ve had people here today from the other side of the river who aren’t in danger," Vincent said. After heavy rains last week, major rivers overflowed, inundating north and central Arkansas and driving people from their homes and businesses. Almost half the state — 35 counties — was declared a disaster area. The waters continued to rise Tuesday even as the sun was shining. The Army Corps of Engineers did not expect the White River to crest downriver at Clarendon until Friday at 33.5 feet.

Gov. Mike Beebe said disaster relief likely would come from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Teams of state and federal officials were deployed Tuesday to examine flood-damaged buildings and businesses. Officials first put damages at $2 million but said it would likely rise well above that once the waters recede. “We’re hitting areas we can get to because a lot of areas we can’t get to," FEMA spokesman Bob Alvey said.
