...China's military: Losers, despite the spin Although they have gotten to pore over the remains of a top-of-the-line U.S. intelligence-gathering platform, their domestic standing may have suffered: After all, they lost a frontline fighter and pilot in a tussle with an unarmed propeller plane, and then appeared to be taken by surprise when that propeller plane landed at one of their airbases. The U.S. statement accepted by the Chinese leadership concludes that the circumstances of the crash remain unclear, in contrast to the Chinese insistence that the U.S. plane rammed their fighter.

But when he needed to, they say, Bush has shown himself capable of going on the attack. "Which George Bush is going to show up--the one who stayed on the high road with Ann Richards or the one who was really low road with John McCain?" says strategist Paul Begala, who is playing Bush in Gore's practice sessions.
