Berger's China Work Makes Archive Heist Look Tame

Two weeks back, the Chinese military shocked America by shooting one of China’s aging satellites out of the sky with a ground-based missile. Old as the satellite may have been, it was still up 500 miles in space. This was a scarily impressive bit of saber-rattling.

As it happens, no American played a greater role in the success of that shoot-down than the much-discussed chairman and founder of Stonebridge International, Samuel “Sandy” Berger.

I do not know whether the results pleased Berger, but I cannot imagine a better advertisement for his subsidiary, Stonebridge China. Its boast of being able to penetrate China’s “central government” and “create circles of influence to champion specific business goals” was not an idle one.

Berger knows these circles well. During the Clinton years, according to the New York Times, he served as “the point man for the White House’s China policy.” That policy, unfortunately, had more to do with advancing Bill Clinton’s reelection in 1996 than it did with advancing America’s interests in the world.

By early 1996, with Dick Morris’s dubious anti-Congress ads still running full tilt, President Clinton was polling 53 percent in a conceptual one-on-one against Bob Dole. A year earlier, before Morris’s multi-million dollar ad campaign, Clinton was polling 33 percent in the same imagined race.

Kinda makes you wonder what-all else Berger was pilfering in the National Archives.

Clinton, Berger, Hitliary, their NSA staff and the white house counsel all have blood on their hands.

I view it as the biggest espionage success in modern history. Berger worked for China. He was Clinton's handler (as was Huang, to a lesser degree). Hillary, Gore, Stephanopoulos, Brown, etc, were all witting players, along with Reno, Loral, and others. These people belong in prison - for a long time. The U.S. Senate really dropped the ball in approving Berger for the post of National Security Advisor. Obviously, no real investigation was done. The biggest elephant-in-the-living-room of the twentieth century: an American President was a spy for a hostile foreign power -- while in office. And GWB's biggest mistake was to let it slide.
