Del. Senate nominee O'Donnell claimed in 2006 debate that China was planning to take over US

WASHINGTON - Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell of Delaware said in a 2006 debate that China was plotting to take over America and claimed to have classified information about the country that she couldn't divulge.

O'Donnell's comments came as she and two other Republican candidates debated U.S. policy on China during Delaware's 2006 Senate primary, which O'Donnell ultimately lost.

She said China had a "carefully thought out and strategic plan to take over America" and accused one opponent of appeasement for suggesting that the two countries were economically dependent and should find a way to be allies.

"That doesn't work," she said. "There's much I want to say. I wish I wasn't privy to some of the classified information that I am privy to."

3. OK - explain this to me.

"I wish I wasn't privy to some of the classified information that I am privy to."

How is not-yet-senator O'Donnell privy to classified information?

8. Did Christine specify if it were to be a friendly rather than hostile takeover?

9. Boy so we had nuts in political office back then because

ANYBODY and I mean ANYBODY that gave O'Donnell any information from the federal government had to be stark raving mad. Wonder if it was Bush or Rove.
