Just heard this from my dad, I'm at work:
"I just heard on the News that China charged each of the Navy personnel
on the Spy Plane, $30. 00  for an exit visa.  That's something!! "
Bombs away!!!!

I have it on good authority the EP3 was meant to be captured so we could give the Chinese a bunch of bogus technology. After they spend a few hundred thousand man hours reverse engineering all the smashed equipment on the plane they will discover the primary mission was to capture and record Chinese music and beam it via satellite directly to Napster!

Another effective message. Thanks Hale on Wheels.

They wanted the plane and all the innards, so we should give them the 'accessories'.

Glad to see that the hostages are home safe.

Received this in an e-mail:

"CHINESE EMBARGO May 01-June 01, 2001

Are we Americans as dumb as we appear or is it just that we do not think?
While the Chinese held our plane and its crew hostage, (they are free now, thank the Lord) presumably to get more time to inspect the plane, the media wrangled its hands and criticized the Bush Administration for perceived errors. Yet 70% of Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended. Well, duh. . why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges? DO IT YOURSELF!!

Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says "Made in China" or "PRC" (and that now includes Hong Kong), simply choose another product or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, however you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.

Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some American farmer. (This is a little late. )

Easter is just an example, the point is. . do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own. If 200 million Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor... fast!! The downside? Some American businesses will feel a temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory.

The solution, lets give them fair warning. So, we will not implement this UNTIL May 1, and we will only continue it until June 1. That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12 th of the total or 8% of their American exports. Then they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.

Remember, Do not Buy "Chinese or PRC" products of any kind from May 1 to June 1, 2001.

Send this to everybody you know. Show them we are Americans and NOBODY can take our people and hold them.

Pass it on America!!"


MAYBE we could hurt them w/o hurting our selves.

And another I received:

AMERICAN APOLOGY TO THE CHINESE

Dear China,
We're sorry that you don't train your fighter pilots better. As a token of our apology, here's a copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000.
We're sorry that your front-line fighter planes can't outmaneuver a 35 year old prop-driven airliner. Perhaps you'd like to consider purchasing some surplus 1950's era Lockheed Starfighters from Taiwan. (We just replaced all theirs with shiny new F-16's)
We're sorry that you believe your territorial waters extend all the way to Australia. For future reference, here's an American 6th grade geography textbook. (Please take note of the Copyright information printed inside the cover. )
We're sorry that you can't seem to see your part of this incident. We know that it may seem easier to blame others than to take responsibility. Consider this fact while we build several new Aegis destroyers for our friends in the Republic of China (Taiwan).
We're especially sorry for treating you with such respect for the last 20 years. We will definitely rethink this policy and probably go back to treating you like a common, untrustworthy street gang very soon.
We're very sorry for ever granting you Most- Favored- Nation trading status and supporting your entrance into the World Trade Organization. This will be rectified at the soonest possible opportunity.

Sincerely,
The United States of America

P. S. Kiss our a**.

NUFF SAID!!
