Cain on Foreign Policy
« on: November 02, 2011, 08:33:27 AM »
Last night on PBS's Newshour Cain said, "China is seeking Nuclear capability ". Let me repeat that,"China is >>>>>>>seeking<<<<<<<< nuclear capability."

This guy is running for president of the United States in a world that is fraught with danger and he doesn't know that China has had nuclear weapons for 50 years. That's bad, very bad.

Nuclear *aircraft carriers*, which they don't currently have. Not weapons.

Reading the full quote explains it.

No, you have to see the video. When he says they're seeking nuclear capabilty he's talking about weapons not aircraft carriers.

I saw the video. He was talking about nuclear powered aircraft carriers, just like he has said in other interviews he has given on the topic.

I saw the whole interview on the Newshour last night. The statements ran close together but they were two different comments about China. First that they were seeking nuclear capability, clearly implying nuclear weapons, then he skipped to aircraft carriers. The two were not related other than they were both about China.

"Close together"? They were two parts of the same sentence. How much "closer together" could they possibly be? When he mentions "developing nuclear capability" and "aircraft carriers like ours" in the same sentence, I take that to mean "nuclear powered aircraft carriers".

If one is going to take things in context of course.  But if one's goal is to demean or denigrate, or try to find fault with Cain, then by mandate, he had to have been referring to nuclear power and carriers seperately, context be damned.  Oh, and keep referring to him as a pervert, minus any facts to back it up, outside of anonymous hearsay

Must be. They broke ground on 5 new homes in the subdivision in the last 10 days. Good for the builders, suppliers and workers. Maybe not so good for the folks wanting to sell their homes in the same subdivision.

Well, I can certainly understand why you guys would need to pretend he meant something other than what he did.

Obviously Cain isn't very serious about being president if he's 50 years behind on foreign policy and isn't bothering to try and catch up.

Jesus, imagine not knowing that China has had nukes for decades? Too busy harassing the women folk I guess.

What do the homes go for in that subdivision, on average?
