The toy section.. all China. Clothing section.. China, India, Pakistan. Glassware.. China, Korea, Philippines, and some US stuff like Pyrex. Electrical and automotive, mostly China, except the oil products, and very few tools (even the Craftsman stuff is made in China). Very little of consequence is made in the US anymore. That's what happens when you work at a post in the far east. In the middle east, you can buy a Harley at the BX. Of course, they may be made in China now. |

Can order in a Harley at AAFES New Car Sales here, too. Can buy an "American" car, as well... but every car I've seen on the lot was manufactured in Canada or Mexico. |

I'm surprised there hasn't been a 'Land mines for Peace' campaign started by the providers of death machinery. ============================================ God's One and Only People make lots of cash Israel is one of the world's top five arms exporters, accounting for 10% of the global arms trade. http://tinyurl.com/95g3o ============================================ ==================================== The main exporters were USA ($10.4 billion Within Europe, Russia ($3.1 billion/£1.9 billion), France ($1.7 billion/£1.1 billion), Germany ($1.3 billion/£0.8 billion), and UK ($1.1 billion/£0.7 billion) were the main exporters in 1999. http://www.tiscali.co.uk/reference/e.../m0031861.html There are a lot of illegal exports, too. Greed knows no limits.: http://snipurl.com/k1wi I guess it's hard to justify an invasion of a country if you don't sell them the arms before doing an about face and attacking them. mike |

Most of us remember about what happened on Hainan Island,China,and bush
apologized to the Chicoms (that Airplane was in International airspace over International waters,check with the U.S.Navy if y'all don't believe me or look it up online) for America (I am an American,born in Carthage,Mississippi on November 5,1941) but his apology to them certainly wasen't for me!,I guarantee y'all that,and bush sent them about $18,000 of OUR money! Those guys in that U.S.Recon Airplane could have ditched the Airplane in the water or they could have opened the valve on an oxygen tank and tossed a cigarette lighter in there as they were coming out the door of that Airplane,that Airplane would have been toast!,but oh noooo,they got orders to land that Airplane on Hainan Island so that the Chicoms could just help themselves to whatever secrets that was in and on that Airplane.I wonder how many secrets the bush administration allowed the Chicoms to steal from that U.S.Recon Airplane? I wonder how much money bush and cheney got from that crooked deal? I have told y'all before bush is no better than klintoon and in some ways he is even worse! Harley Davidson and Chevrolet had factories in China in the 1940's.Malcom Bricklin is working on a deal to import Chinese made vehicles to America by this time next year or early 2007.Those made in China vehicles will be priced about 30 percent less than comparable made in U.S.A.vehicles and some of them other made in China vehicles will be priced at about forty percent less than some other models of comparable made in U.S.A.vehicles.There is a new auto frame factory that is going to be built here in Mississippi and there is talk there might soon be a Kia factory here in Mississippi,there already is a Nissan factory near Jackson.Just watch the people all over America buying those new made in China vehicles at thirty to forty percent less prices than other made in America vehicles.Someday we will be seeing the end of automobiles being manufactured in U.S.A.Some of y'all think bush has the best interest for America in mind,,, Nothing could be further from the Truth! cuhulin |
