KMT To CPC: Kidnap And Murder Taiwan’s President; We Don’t Mind

Taiwan’s Chinese Nationalist Party bellyaches about military evacuation drills for the President in case the Communist Party of China orders a decapitation strike:

"The military wasted money just to create a war nightmare to impress upon the people the possibility of the enemy at the door before the two important elections," [KMT legislator Lin Yu-fang] charged.

If I recall correctly, the military undertakes these drills about once a year, so the charge that this is something new to influence elections is a bit hollow.  The Taiwanese can sleep well knowing the KMT takes their country’s security so seriously.


UPDATE (Apr 15/07):  There was an air-raid drill in northern Taiwan on Apr 10th at about 2 pm, which lasted about a half hour.  In my place of employment, we were told to turn out the lights and close the curtains.  Naturally, the KMT complained that that, too, was an election gimmick.
