RE: Uncle Sam orders military to 'buy American'... solar panels
"The provision was drafted to be compliant with World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, UPI reports. Nonetheless, it is certain to be a point of contention when Chinese President Hu Jintao visits the U.S. next week."
I don't see what manufacturing for our military has to do with "World Trade".
I mean, if we are going to have to abide by world trade rules in order to supply our military does that mean we would be required to buy tanks/jets/helicopters from countries that we could potentially go to war with?
The whole idea of abiding to WTO rules to supply our military is just idiotic. It has nothing to do with trade.
Not to mention, if President Hu Jintao wants to complain then maybe we should make him aware of China's low quality of manufacture, endless human rights violations, extremely corrupt govermnent, etc. etc. If nothing else, those are good enough reasons to NOT allow China to supply solar panels to the U.S. military.
