The gift of Christine O'Donnell's record of public statements keeps on giving: in 2006, she claimed to have seen "classified information" about China's plans to take over the U.S. The Associated Press reports:
O'Donnell's comments came as she and two other Republican candidates debated U.S. policy on China during Delaware's 2006 Senate primary, which O'Donnell ultimately lost.She said China had a "carefully thought out and strategic plan to take over America" and accused one opponent of appeasement for suggesting that the two countries were economically dependent and should find a way to be allies."That doesn't work," she said. "There's much I want to say. I wish I wasn't privy to some of the classified information that I am privy to.""A country that forces women to have abortions and mandates that you can only have one child and will not allow you the freedom to read the Bible, you think they can be our friend?" she asked. "We have to look at our history and realize that if they pretend to be our friend it's because they've got something up their sleeve."
