China sends warships to gas fields
from
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronic...

"In a muscular display of its rising military and economic might, China deployed a fleet of five warships on Friday near a gas field in the East China Sea, a potentially resource-rich area that is disputed by China and Japan.

The ships, including a guided-missile destroyer, were spotted by a Japanese military patrol plane near the Chunxiao gas field, according to Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Forces. It is believed to be the first time that Chinese warships have been seen in that area."



Uh-oh necons, we have another Kuwait situation on our hands,

Nothing. They're scared to death of any country with real weapons of mass destruction.

Hey, look at how they're going after Pakistan for hiding Bin Laden...oops! No they didn't. What about their swift reaction to North Korea's nookyular program...oh shoot! Did nothing there, either.

Chickenshits.
