#1 The report stated that the panel "continues to be concerned over Israeli transfers of U.S.-origin technology to China."

Not good. If these guys don't have the decency to keep the technology in the stuff they buy from us from getting into our enemies' hands, then it's time to rethink the wisdom of sharing our developments with third parties and rethinking
what should and shouldn't be made available to sell to them.

#2 I suspect our guys are working with the Israelis to booby trap some of these systems. Most of the major platforms approved for export were approved under Clinton. GWB has been a lot more careful about the kinds of things we let them export. Israel has *always* abided by American wishes on weapons exports - the problem was that Clinton used Israel as a backdoor way to supply his Chinese friends with the latest gear.

#3 All of Clinton's tawdry stuff is pillow talk now. His real crime was his arming of China. Funny how just when Winky was getting heat over the Chinese connection, his sex scandle blew that off the radar.

#4 For precedent as to booby trapping, see how ex-President Reagan authorized the destruction of a trans-Siberian pipeline.

#6 Let's do the math:

Israel facilitates China's own prohibitively expensive and understaffed foray into UAVs and advanced weapons systems.

China uses that financial latitude to proliferate nuclear technology to Iran.

Iran immediately threatens nuclear attack upon Israel with the first nuclear weapon they make.

What part of the equation is Israel not getting? Whichever morons are greedily slavering over the billions of arms dollars flowing through this exchange need to be capped, and d@mn quick.

Israel, like so many other nations that feed at the Mandarin's trough, needs a major wake up call. If Israel catches an Iranian nuclear attack, I shall not feel entirely sympathetic. In light of this idiotic treachery, perhaps the onus is upon Israel to bomb out Iran's nuclear facilities.

#10 It's a lot worse that the article let's on. Israel transferred the technology from the cancelled Lavi fighter to China who are now building the J10. The Lavi was to be an improved derivative of the F16, whose technology the US transferred to Israel and who also funded the development of the Lavi. Take a look at this Chinese J10 site. Notice the F16s twin?

Israel also sold technology from the Arrow anti ballistic missile system. The Arrow missile system guidance tech is from the Patriot system tech the US gave Isreal to so they could work on the Arrow. Israel also tried to supply China with Israeli airborne AWACs systems.

Is this the behavior of an ally? How many billions of dollars will the US have to spend to counteract this treachery. No F22s or other high tech weapons for Israel. The technology will just be sold to our enemies.
