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.
