UPDATE 9.05am: FEDERAL independent MP Andrew Wilkie suspects Kevin Rudd was posturing when the Foreign Minister told the US that force may be needed if China could not be successfully integrated into the international community.
A leaked WikiLeaks cable has revealed that Mr Rudd, when prime minister, warned US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to be prepared to use force against China "if everything goes wrong''.
Mr Rudd also told Ms Clinton during a meeting in Washington on March 24, 2009 that China was "paranoid'' about Taiwan and Tibet and that his ambitious plan for an Asia-Pacific community was intended to blunt Chinese influence.
Mr Wilkie, a former public servant who blew the whistle on the Australian Government's case for participating in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, said Mr Rudd's advice was an "inconceivable notion''.
"I suspect there was some posturing on Kevin Rudd's place at that time,'' he told ABC Radio on Monday.

    Hillary doesn't like being up-staged by someone with a penis ^_~

    Wikileaks was given information by an anonymous whistle blower. They published the info on the web. The New York Times, The Guardian, La Monde, El Pais and Der Spiegel, along with other news outlets such as TV and Cable programs, also published this info.

    Why aren't the owners of these news organizations being threatened with arrest, and hacked, like Julian Assange is?

    Why waste time discovering the truth when you can so easily create it?

  • Why do we put up with the hypocrisy and two-facedness of the criminals and gangsters we 'elect' to power?  How is Rudd, famous in the past for sucking up to the Chinese Communist dictatorship like a craven little slug, going to explain to his Chinese counterpart that he advocated the US bomb China if the perfidious Orientals don't play ball? Of course, Rudd won't comment on the leaked document, because we plebs aren't entitled to honesty from our rulers. A plague on them all. Vultures.

  • spratly islands  = big problems
