It's not the size...

Of the dog in the fight... it's the size of the fight in the dog that matters.
-- TAIPEI -- Faced with a threatening military buildup by China, an increasingly outgunned Taiwan is quietly pushing ahead with plans to develop missiles that could strike the mainland, defense and security experts say.
The Taiwanese are very aware that a war with mainland China could turn them all into "crispy critters"... but they're not goin' down without a fight.
Taiwan has in recent months tested a land attack cruise missile with a range of 1,000 kilometers, or 621 miles, that could carry a 400-kilogram warhead to targets as distant as Shanghai, according to military analysts.
