Obama Betrays Another Ally: U.S. to Deny Taiwan’s request, “We are so disappointed in the United States”
Obama stabs another long-time, die-hard ally in the back. Meticulously documented in my book, The Post American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America, we see time and time again the Obama administration intent on abandoning America’s friends and encouraging our enemies. In a breathtaking surrender to China, Obama has thrown Taiwan under the bus. He is stunning in his betrayal of good, reliable allies who had unfalteringly stood by us.
Add Taiwan to the body pile-up …… Egypt, Honduras, Israel, Poland, the Czech Republic, India, et al.
There are fears that losing Taiwan could spell the end of U.S. power projection in the region. Losing Taiwan would “change everything from the operational arch perspective to the posture of Japan and the U.S.”

U.S. To Deny Taiwan New F-16 Fighters Defense News
TAIPEI – Bowing to Chinese pressure, the U.S. will deny Taiwan’s request for 66 new F-16C/D fighter aircraft, a Taiwan Ministry of National Defense (MND) official said.
“We are so disappointed in the United States,” he said.
A U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) delegation arrived here last week to deliver the news and offer instead a retrofit package for older F-16A/Bs that includes an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar.
The visit coincided with the biennial Taipei Aerospace and Defense Technology Exhibition (TADTE), held here Aug. 11-14.[…]
ConsequencesSiebert said the failure to release F-16C/Ds will weaken Lockheed Martin’s plans to extend the production line for the fighter.
“While Congress has been notified of Oman and Iraq’s desire for F-16s, the Taiwan order for 66 aircraft is very important to the long-term viability of the F-16 production to include the U.S. Air Force, Lockheed Martin and the thousands of suppliers throughout the U.S.,” she said.
More than a few TADTE attendees said the Obama administration might reverse the decision as the 2012 presidential election approaches and political pressure for new jobs builds.
A June report by the Perryman Group, a Texas-based economic and financial analysis firm, estimated that Taiwan’s F-16C/D program would create more than 16,000 jobs and almost $768 million in U.S. federal tax revenue. Much of that tax revenue and new jobs would go to election battleground states: California, Connecticut, Florida, Maryland, Ohio, Texas and Utah.
But China holds about 8 percent of U.S. debt, the largest block in foreign hands.
As one TADTE attendee said, “Beijing’s Kung Fu is better than Washington’s.”
[…].The U.S. decision comes as a blow to the self-ruled island’s effort to counter China’s growing military, whose first aircraft carrier began sea trials last week, and therefore to its independence.
There are fears that losing Taiwan could spell the end of U.S. power projection in the region. Losing Taiwan would “change everything from the operational arch perspective to the posture of Japan and the U.S.” in the region, said Raytheon’s Asia president, Walter Doran, a retired admiral who once commanded the U.S. Pacific Fleet.
