Athens Rocket Was Made in China
Remember that rocket on Friday that was fired into the U.S. Embassy in Athens?  Well, Greek police have identified the weapon as a Chinese-made RPG 7.  Oh, you're not familiar with the RPG 7?  It's just like the RPG 6, only better.  A Chinese foreign ministry official said, "As for the question, the detailed situation is still not clear, and the Chinese side has received no official information."  No no, see there is no question.  The rocket was Chinese, buddy.  The official went on to say, "What I must point out is that China has always had a serious and responsible attitude toward the arms trade, and has strictly followed the principles of trading arms only with sovereign states and maintaining a country's sovereignty and regional peace and stability."  Except for that one rocket.  The one that the Greek leftist guerilla group got its hands on and then blasted into a U.S. embassy toilet.  According to a Reuters story Sunday, China's news agency called China's link to the Athens rocket "a rumor."  The Chinese government should just hire an official whose only job would be to say "oops" when shit like this happens.
