No offense buddy, but it's time to wake up and get a good deep whiff of the coffee. In an earlier reply you said that China was the same as the US!?!?! WHAT!?!?!?
Perhpas you haven't been paying attention. Until about 10 years ago you clowns couldn't get a rocket off a launch pad without it blowing up! Without Bill Clinton you would still be living in a military stone age. Without Clinton your economy would garbage, and so would your military. In fact, you people should build a stuate of Clinton the size of the statue of liberty. He's done more for your country than any of your "Wize" old politicians, so give me a break.
As far as the military is concerned, we could reduce you and your country to rubble in about 10 minutes flat... PERIOD. There is nothing to discuss here,
it is a fact. Sure, you guys could lob a few nukes at us and piss us off, but you don't have the ability to obliterate our country... PERIOD.
So get over yourselves. I've seen you praise yourselves and pat yourselves on the back in multiple threads, but you are still a COMMUNIST nation, devoid of freedoms and liberty. Instead of worrying about the good ole US of A, why not take some of that nervous energy and use it to change your government. Think of how nice it might be to one day have a baby and NOT have to KILL IT to appease the government. Think about it!

All we have to remember is that China is the only nation to have inferior ballistic missiles to the Russians. The track record for the Chines ballisitic missile program is not one I would want to brag about.

All I can say, is that your are still living in kindergarden. World is changing, China is changing. Go and Visit China to see whether it is still a communist country. Bashing and Barking do not make you look smarter.

Nope - YOU WISH. As the last 50+ years of aviation have shown, demonstrating an air platform and putting it into service are two different things....
But since you are a brainwashed Chi-com, I will play by you're rules.
As I remember, the YF-22 and F-23 were being tested in the 80's, so I guess BOTH aircraft have been operational for almost 25 years! And the Camanche has been around since the early 90's (maybe even 80's), so it looks like we have had that for 10-15 years. Oh, and then there is the B-2 which was being tested in the late 70's if I recall correctly, so I guess we have had that in operation for almost 30 years! Oh, and the F-15 was tested in the 60's. DAMN! That thing has been in service almost 50 years!!!!! WOW, the USAF is even MORE amazing using your logic! But there in lies the problem - you have none.

Agreed. Test and operational are completely different. How would you like to be driving a tank if there was even the slightest chance it might blow up on you due to mechanical failures?

I agree. Sure M1A1 will not have mechanical failure in Iraq, no one deny that they are operational.
Will US test those missile that are operational already? I believe US tested some in last few month. So is for Russia. In the case of Russia, at least lauches not go as planned.
Testing also include those lauches to show the readyness of those already operational. Experimental lauch will be different though.

no i dont think iraq was responsible for 9/11 i said they had Alqada in the country and didnt kick them out one of these id al zarqawi.
Have you ever heard of al zarqawi under Saddam rule?, please give me evidence or link. Otherwise, I can also claim that al zarqawi is an agent supported by Mossad and CIA. Very likely it is the truth.

Bragging can not deflect an incoming missile. You can find out soon, if Bush really want to see.
From the link you gave:
Far from exaggeration, what struck us about the case the President and Colin Powell took to the U.N. last fall and winter was its restraint. It focused mainly on a then-obscure terrorist named Abu Mussab al Zarqawi with no alleged 9/11 link, and a small affiliated terror group called Ansar al Islam operating in the Kurdish area of Northern Iraq.
Do you see Abu Mussab al Zarqawi operating in the Kurdish area of Northern Iraq?
US maintains No fly zone in the north. The Kurdish area was not under Saddam control, they were self-governed with the help of US. With the help of Kurds, US can easily take out the group. You think that Saddam has control over their?
If Saddam had coorperation with Zarqawi, why was he not operating in the Sunni and Shia area in the south?
Those information are just propaganda for US to justify invasion of Iraq, not facts.

I gave you links from 4 different websites 2 of them prominent newspapers and even the 9/11 commission said there was a link between zarqawi and Iraq but according to you they are all wrong cuz the mighty zcheng is smarter than everyone and has clearance to top-secret info to make his decisions...oh wait he doesn't so he is just angry I shut him up

No doubt, but the hot air comming from you is enough to attract every IR sensor in the theatre. Regardless, what is the point of all of your sabre rattling. Like many other posters in other threads Im begining to wonder if you are really from mainland China. Your grammer and sentance structure goes from really bad, to really good, and back again. I wonder if all your rhetoric is simply someone trying to bait everyone???

That means that for every nuke China has, we have 34.
For most cities, one nuke is equivalent to 34 nukes, even if your number is correct.

Not at all. I do not want you to discredit all government report, but also not accept them 100%.
Open yourself to evidence, and make your own judgement.
For me, the election in Nov. is just a circus for the US people to think they are empowered, but actually it is just a mean for the rich and powerful to pick their representatives. President are elected by the interest of Mass Media, and who are controlling these interests?
