Chris Christie hasn't announced jack yet, but he was in New Hampshire toying with phrases like, "if I'm president." Then, to his credit, he gave voters a taste of what that might be like. Jill Colvin
reports:
Christie called for a "military approach" to China's advances to "let them know there are limits to what they're allowed to do."
"That is an issue that we can handle militarily by going out there and making sure that we show them that we don't respect their claims to these artificial islands in the South China Sea that they're building that they're saying are theirs that are hundreds and hundreds of miles from the coast of China and are clearly in international waters," Christie said adding: "We need to send that signal to the Chinese very clearly that we do not acknowledge nor will we respect their claims to those areas."
Straight from the McCain-Graham school of diplomacy—who cares if we have an answer for Iraq when there are new wars to be waged? Let's be sure to leave a military footprint in every corner of the world.
