Guess there would be no tips for the delivery?(WASHINGTON) — The Pentagon announced on Tuesday that it mistakenly shipped non-nuclear components for an intercontinental ballistic missile to Taiwan from a U.S. Air Force base in Wyoming.
It said the items have been returned to the United States.
At a Pentagon news conference, Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne said the misshipped items were four nose cone assemblies for ICBMs. He also said they were delivered to Taiwan in March 2005 and had been sent instead of helicopter batteries that had been ordered by Taiwan.
BTW, in this week's printed issue of TIME magazine (US edition, vol 171, no 14), there is not a damn single word about last week's historical presidential election in Taiwan and yet there is a full page dispatch about Bhutan's election, can you believe that? Guess this itself is a piece of news.
