China’s land reclamation is creating a “great wall of sand” in the South China Sea, a top US official says, leading to “serious questions” on its intentions.
US Pacific Fleet Commander Admiral Harry Harris made the comments in a speech in Australia on Tuesday night.
China has overlapping claims with neighbours in the South China Sea.
It has been reclaiming land in contested waters - something it said last year was “totally justified” as it had “sovereignty” over the area.
In recent months images have emerged of Chinese construction on reefs in the Spratly Islands to create artificial islands with facilities that could potentially be for military use, including an air strip.
I guess the Cablers are not interested on this story…..Hey Don Bitter Lemon isn’t this story interesting?
Or is having a 6 boxed full of people to discuss Trevor Noah’s 5 of 8K plus tweets more of your Yellow TeaNNer gig?
I have a confession. There’s this woman I know from Iran that I really really liked but never ended up asking her out because I have a hard time asking women out. She was Muslim, incredibly kind while many regarded her with hostility. Anyway I still see her and say hi and talk a little but always get tongue tied when it comes to asking her out.
Hey Night Owls! A very positive piece about PBO and what he has accomplished with Iran regardless of any final deal, from David Ignatius of all people. Enjoy!
Aw that’s sweet, Jeff. Try starting slow, like buy/make/bring her a cup of coffee or tea and chat over something you’re both interested in or have in common. A kind heart stands out in a crowd. Main thing to remember to relax. It’s just a friendly cup of [whatever] not an entire relationship. See how that goes and take it from there . :-)

Not sure how my reply got out of place, but anyway scroll down.
If you like her Jeff, c’mon go ahead and ask her out. All she can do is say Yes or No or Maybe…..that way……the issue is addressed. Good luck.
“Can we continue this conversation over coffee? (ice cream, a soda….) Just a continuation of a nice conversation…….
Hey yourself! Congrats yardarm
Sick of this shit!
At some point in history, police departments must’ve decided since they couldn’t arrest all the homicidal maniacs, just put them the police force.
