a Taliban commander said, ``China is secretly helping our Taliban government.'' China has united. In addition, news reports say that Pakistan is giving weapons to the Taliban. Pakistan has united. Unbelievable here. China gets $100 billion a year in trade surplus from Uncle Sam, and Pakistan is now asking for foreign aid. Beam me up. I say it is time for China and Pakistan to stop their tricks and cheating here. I yield back the forked tongues of the lies coming out of China and Pakistan, who are subverting our mission against these terrorists.
