China refused permission for a U.S. aircraft carrier and accompanying vessels to visit Hong Kong for a long-planned Thanksgiving holiday visit -- and then changed its mind.
The USS Kitty Hawk group and its crew of 8,000 airmen and sailors had been expected in Hong Kong on Wednesday, but the U.S. State Department said the visit had been blocked by China. Hundred of relatives of crew members of the Kitty Hawk had flown to Hong Kong to celebrate Thanksgiving. Hong Kong, especially its Wanchai bar district, has been a regular port of call for U.S. sailors on "R & R" (rest and recuperation) since the Vietnam War.
The Chinese move came as a surprise just weeks after a visit to China by U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, which he said he hoped would lead to a long-term dialogue. But the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Thursday the carrier would be allowed to dock in the former British colony after all.. "We have decided to allow the Kitty Hawk to stay in Hong Kong during Thanksgiving," spokesman Liu Jianchao told a news conference.
"It is a decision based on humanitarian considerations only."He did not say why the ships had been blocked in the first place, but there are issues that may have prompted Beijing's action including U.S. plans to sell Taiwan a $940 million upgrade to its missile system and last month's meeting between U.S. President George W. Bush and the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan Buddhist leader who Beijing considers a traitor. Last year a Chinese submarine surfaced uncomfortably close to the Kitty Hawk near the Japanese island of Okinawa, an incident that highlighted the potential for friction between the two powers.
Beijing's move coincided with "airspace controls" introduced on Wednesday which the Xinhua news agency said affected the air travel plans of 7,000 people in south and east China. The controls had been ordered for "unspecified reasons."
The Late Great United States has been paralyzed of late by pantywaists, pussies and the relics of a bygone era. I pray and Hope that the credits we once had in "God We Trust" are enough. It is my belief that the faith we once had in God is enough to get us over to the next generation. God only knows that we in America believe in the true hero's, soldiers and patriots that saw action in the first Gulf War, the War against Islamic Fascists. I pray that many of those who served with valor in our military are in positions of power for the up and coming conflict with China.
There are many people who see China as an enemy. I like to think that the United States is smart enough to protect its secrets. however as we hosted an examination of our Navy by the Chinese. There was a Chinese photographer clicking away with a camera taking picture after picture and our Officers did nothing. What is the matter with this picture?
I am sure that many Americans sit at there kitchen tables, from coast to coast and wonder in amazement what is our government doing when it comes to language, culture, borders, Islamic atrocities and China.
I heard a talk show discuss George Bush' intelligence quotient. The guest said if George Bush was such a moron, then how come he won election twice, and has kept us from being attacked again since 9-11 and is on the threshold of winning in Iraq? George Bush was lucky.
George Bush was lucky. Despite George Bush, it was we the people who are in charge of our destiny. Despite George Bush we had no other choice but to elect him before John Kerry. Bush was the lesser of two evils. Despite George Bush, we managed to keep away any duplication of the 9-11 catastrophe. Despite George Bush, trying our military soldiers for being to good at there job, the military has managed a marginal success in Iraq.
Despite George Bush, two Border agents, Ramos and Compian, sit in jail, while the criminal who put him there is still practicing law. No one noticed that the criminal prosecutor has now turned on his cohort, the drug dealer, Davila, who lied and delivered the Border Agents to there respective10 year confinement. Despite George Bush, his impotence as President of the United States, continues while any punk major declares his city, is a sanctuary city, and changes laws to accommodate common criminals by giving drivers licenses or state issued identification cards to force the appearance of a facsimile of legitimacy. Despite George Bush impotence the controversy concerning illegals continues as these people steal other people identities to steal jobs, social services, and money from our treasury.
After the loss of the congress to the democrats a well known talk show blames the "Savage Nation" for torpedoing the republican party and the loss of the congress to the democrats. He was wrong, George Bush did the "torpedoing".
Despite George Bush, he will be history soon, I hate to be lied to, and despite George Bush, is why I despise George Bush.
