Senator Inhofe's gallantry

Senator Inhofe's gallantry

James Inhofe caught my eye in 1998.  Some of you may remember that President Clinton had personally intervened in the process to give COSCO the lease on the former Long Beach Naval Station docks.  Not COSTCO, COSCO - Chinese Overseas Shipping Co.  A August 10, 1998 Insight article by Timothy W. Maier quotes him ...     "Despite appearances, COSCO is not a benign private commercial enterprise. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of China's People's Liberation Army. It serves as the merchant marine of the Chinese military and there is every reason to believe it will do their bidding in terms of smuggling, intelligence gathering and weapons shipments. Considering China's long-term ambitions for superpower status in the next century, it would be foolish for America to surrender control of a strategically located West Coast port to an arm of the Chinese military." Indeed, Inhofe was virtually alone in connecting the dots in this matter between Clinton, James Riady, Red China, and the Utah coal reserves that Clinton took out of play.  The only man with the balls to ask public  questions about what everybody knew privately to be true.  He did it again Monday when he stood before the Senate and talked about Global Warming.  Please read at least a few paragraphs. Oklahomans are smart folks, and I thank them for Inhofe.
