Nancy Pelosi US House Speaker Visits Dalai Lama and Denounces Commie China Crackdown on Tibetans
I have to admire Pelosi's courage about speaking out against Communist China's aggression against the Tibetan's and Communist China's attempts to crush the Tibetan's freedom

US House Speaker Visits Dalai Lama

21 March 2008

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has met with the Dalai Lama and denounced China's crackdown on anti-government protests in Tibet.
Pelosi was greeted by thousands of Tibetans Friday when she arrived in the northern Indian town of Dharamsala, where the exiled spiritual leader has established a government-in-exile.

The California lawmaker is the first major international official to meet the Dalai Lama since the unrest began last week. Pelosi said she joined the Tibetans at "a sad time" in order to shed "the bright light of truth" on the situation in their homeland.

Pelosi is a fierce critic of China's human rights record.

Meanwhile, a group of Nobel laureates has condemned China's crackdown on Tibetan protesters and is calling on Beijing to hold talks with the Dalai Lama.

The 26 Nobel prize-winners signed a statement released Thursday by Holocaust survivor and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel.

The statement protested what it called Beijing's unwarranted campaign against the Dalai Lama, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.

Separately, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says she has contacted her Chinese counterpart to urge restraint in dealing with protests in Tibet.

Rice said Thursday that she spoke to Yang Jiechi on the telephone and encouraged China to open talks with the Dalai Lama.

Xinhua says Yang told Rice that any country that upholds justice should support Beijing's measures to maintain social stability and protect the interests of all ethnic groups in Tibet.

A State Department spokesman said Thursday he was "not at liberty" to discuss whether the U.S. has confirmation of a military buildup in Tibet.

Also Thursday, Tibetan exiles and their supporters in North America and Europe held another day of protests against China's crackdown in Tibet. A German protester was lightly injured after setting himself on fire in front of the Chinese consulate in Berlin.

Could be. Maybe she wants to draw the attention of the media away from watching the Democratic party fighting with itself.

But maybe not. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt.

War !!!!!! China vs USA

On the first day of World War III, the United States lost two-thirds of its military and nearly half its population, yielding superiority to communist China. U.S. orders of the day were of high alert, and there is simply no evading the fact that we were not ready.
The Chinese rain of missiles on U.S. installations and homeland cities was a military masterpiece. The People's Liberation Army Second Artillery Corp achieved complete surprise, armed only with a small force of more than 300 tactical and 10 strategic missiles.

Defenseless against the attack, U.S. forces in Hawaii, Alaska, South Korea and Japan were quickly overwhelmed by the guided warheads of the Chinese missiles. The bombs plunged out of the inky blackness of space, striking within seconds of each other. The rain of death fell swiftly upon a sleeping America with precise and devastating accuracy.

In a span of little more than 30 minutes, China wiped out Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego, Chicago, Washington, Boston, New York, Hawaii, Manila, Seoul, Taipei and Tokyo.

China sank five U.S. carriers, seven Ohio class submarines, vaporized more than 200 MX and Minuteman missiles and destroyed more than 800 combat aircraft including 15 B-2 strategic bombers. The strikes also killed more than 100 million people without the loss of a single PLA soldier.

The Second Artillery succeeded by striking key U.S. bases, warships and air fields with a swift and bold attack. The attack left China with 10 remaining strategic missiles and nearly 300 tactical missiles, holding the devastated U.S. homeland hostage to another strike.

Despite the calls to retaliate, sending the scattered remains of U.S. nuclear forces against China would not stop another attack on America, nor would it stop the PLA Generals who ordered the first.

There is no question that the U.S. strategic missiles could devastate the Chinese homeland. However, killing hundreds of millions of innocent Chinese citizens would do little to deter the warlords in Beijing from launching the second wave of 10 missiles while remaining hidden inside bomb-proof tunnels.

China's sudden and brutal attack forced America to surrender on Beijing's terms. In little more than 48 hours, China won World War III.


Those who minimize the Chinese strategic forces frequently state that China has only 20 missiles. These people are fools playing games with the lives of millions of innocent humans. They fail to mention that each Chinese strategic missile is tipped with a multi-megaton H-bomb that can vaporize a city.

In the previous scenario, Chinese forces used only half their current strategic and tactical missiles in a single attack, turning 10 of the top U.S. cities and most of free Asia into charred, radioactive wastelands.

China apologists also question whether Beijing is willing to wage war against America. However, the Chinese military makes it very clear it wants nuclear combat with the U.S.A.someday



"In comparison with the U.S. nuclear arsenal, our disadvantage is mainly numeric, which in real wars the qualitative gap will be reflected only as different requirement of strategic theory," states the PLA military document.

"In terms of deterrence, there is not any difference in practical value. So far we have built up the capability for the second and third nuclear strikes and are fairly confident in fighting a nuclear war. The PCC [communist Party Central Committee] has decided to pass though formal channels this message to the top leaders in the U.S."

China also has recently tested a new long-range missile capable of reaching America, the DF-31. The DF-31 is capable of delivering a single multi-megaton H-bomb or up to three 90-kiloton nuclear bombs. The most recent DF-31 test took place earlier this year, and some Pentagon analysts expect the PLA Second Artillery will begin active deployment of DF-31 units early next year.

1,000 Nuclear Missiles by 2008

Clearly, China apologists must seriously consider the growing capability of Beijing's nuclear missile forces, including the tremendous buildup of short-range tactical missiles. China continues to deploy short-range "Dong Feng" or "East Wind" missiles. China has a force of nearly 500 DF-15 and DF-11 mobile tactical missiles and at the current rate of production will have more than 1,000 missiles by 2008.

The Soviet Union and the U.S. considered the short-range tactical missile to be the most dangerous threat to peace because of its short flight time. Despite the tension between Moscow and Washington, both sides agreed to withdraw and ban the weapons. The Soviet SS-20 Saber and U.S. Pershing missiles were dismantled and destroyed.

It is worth noting that each Chinese DF-15 tactical missile has a flight time of less than four minutes, from launch to impact. Today, China dominates the tactical nuclear missile category and frequently demonstrates that fact. In 1996, China dropped dummy DF-15 warheads just off Taiwan's coastline.

its gonna be a staged war between Usa and China someday

With respect, too many sides playing the table to sum it up so definitively. Remember that ethnic chinese were also killed, with boxes of stones made available from who (I don't know)? If the Dalai Lama is against violence then he should also be calling for restraint too. Also, for a politically exiled religious leader he is very well financed (CIA?), that is, where does he get his money from?

Could be. Maybe she wants to draw the attention of the media away from watching the Democratic party fighting with itself.

Nancy said "Perhaps it's our karma, our fate, to be with you at such a sad time. It is our karma, we know, to help the people of Tibet."

Really? It's your karma to oppose the Chinese government on their internal affairs? Do I need to remind Nancy that she controls the congressional majority and, fillibusters aside, she can just pull the funding on the Bush agenda anytime she decides? She won't do that though. She'd rather grandstand for a cause celebre.

Nancy wants to talk about karma? Well, how about the karma of allowing the Iraq meat grinder to continue? How about the karma of letting the giant banks foreclose on countless low-income people? How about the karma of allowing the bill of rights to be scrapped, or permitting the torture of innocent people? How about the karma of being the biggest political coward (with the possible exception of Harry Reid) since Neville Chamberlain? How about that karma Nancy? If this is your karma then I really wouldn't want to be you, because you've got some serious @#$! coming your way.
