【新唐人2014年07月09日讯】中共军委副主席徐才厚落马，众人关注他背后的大老虎江泽民的命运将如何。国内有评论指出，当年汶川地震，总理温家宝亲赴灾区却调动不了军队，错失救援良机。真实原因是当时的军委主席胡锦涛是个傀儡，而且两名军委副主席只听命于江泽民。
国内《和讯》网站刊登评论说，中共前军委副主席徐才厚不过是“大树”倒下之后散掉的一只猢狲。至于大树是谁，读者都心领神会。
2008年5月12号，四川汶川发生大地震，中共前总理温家宝第一时间赶赴灾区，表示抢救生命是救灾工作的“重中之重”，他下死命令打通通往汶川的道路，但是中共军队行动迟缓、甚至以“天气不好”为由按兵不动。温家宝气得摔电话，说：“我不管，是人民养活了你们，你们看着办！”
徐才厚曾经掌管军队人事长达十几年，在军中培植了一班“势力”，当时的军权实际掌握在包括徐才厚在内的江派高级将领手中，胡锦涛被架空，并没有真正掌握军权，虽然汶川情况很危急，温家宝却调不动兵。
汶川地震当年年底，时任中共军委总参谋长的陈炳德，在党媒发表文章，首次揭示在汶川地震发生后72小时的黄金救援时间内，胡锦涛、温家宝无法调动军队赴灾区救援，在震后的3天时间里，军方的一切行动都要经过江泽民的批准。
原《中国军事学院出版社》社长辛子陵对《美国之音》分析说，过去胡锦涛也想有所作为，但是叫江泽民欺负得没有办法。胡锦涛只有批准少将军衔的权限，中将以上的需由江泽民批准。辛子陵说，胡锦涛在军中“说不上话”。
辛子陵还表示，如果江泽民继续像操控胡锦涛一样操控现任党魁习近平，习近平怎么有所作为？习近平挟太子党身份，因此敢跟江泽民叫板。
那么，徐才厚案件会延烧到江泽民吗？
原中共中央体改委干部曹思源表示，这就要看双方力量的博弈和习近平的决心了。
原中共中央体改委干部曹思源：“一个是力量的较量，一个是看有没有这样的决心，如果有这个决心，那必然是要延伸，顺藤摸瓜，就刨着根了嘛，他的后台是谁？后台的后台是谁？那当然要延伸了。但是力量不够呢？那也可能到某个阶段就为止了。这个就看发展吧。”
原中共国务院秘书俞梅荪则表示，徐才厚上游、下游组成的庞大利益群体，都应该受到清算，包括那些提拔他的人，和他通过买官卖官提拔的人。
原中共国务院秘书俞梅荪：“网上说了，徐才厚是江泽民的军中最爱。军中最爱徐才厚怎么上来的？背后的力量当然起了很大作用的。背后的力量使徐才厚起来，这整个是一个利益群体。当然应该清算的。”
“中国人民大学”前政治系主任冷杰甫表示，最近法国前总统萨科齐因为涉嫌腐败被拘捕。中国也可以效仿西方民主国家。
中国人民大学前政治系主任冷杰甫：“如果说要是一个民主政府的话，像江泽民出了问题，那照样可以清除，可以清算。你像陈水扁，你像法国的萨科齐，陈水扁是总统，萨科齐是总统，他不照样发现问题送上法庭吗？那江泽民也不能例外。如果他真的有问题，那就应该像萨科齐和陈水扁一样，把他送上法庭，进行审判，不能客气。”
徐才厚的落马，另一个中共军队大佬郭伯雄的丑闻也被民众曝光。与徐才厚一样，郭伯雄也曾担任中共军委副主席，同样是江泽民的嫡系亲信。
7月6号，另有民众在网络发布消息，披露2008年汶川地震时期，郭伯雄不通过中共军委决议，就在成都设立军内救灾指挥部，拒不服从救灾总指挥温家宝的命令。
郭伯雄和徐才厚这两个江泽民在军中的嫡系心腹，郭伯雄分管“总参”、“总装”，徐才厚分管“总政”、“总后”，在这两条线上贪腐敛财，郭伯雄则是依靠倒卖军火发财。

Jiang Zemin At A Dead End After Xu Caihou’s Downfall
People focus on the “big Tiger” Jiang Zemin after the downfall of General Xu Caihou Commentators say that after the Wenchuan earthquake, former premier Wen Jiabao went to the site, but the army didn’t listen to him, so a valuable rescue opportunity was lost. The then military chairman was puppet-like Hu Jintao, former leader of China. The other two deputy chairmen of the army only listened to Jiang Zemin.
Hexun.com commented that Xu Caihou was only one of the “scattered monkeys from the toppled tree”. Regarding who the toppled tree is, people understand the hint.
When the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake occurred, Wen Jiaobao went to the site quickly. He stressed the importance of the rescue work. He also ordered the road to Wenchuan to be opened up at any cost. However, the army deliberately delayed, some even refused to send troops, they used excuses “weather wasn’t good enough”. Wen screamed on the phone to a general, “I don’t care, people have paid you, it’s all up to you!” then slammed the phone down.
Xu Caihou has been in charge of the army for ten years, part of a military clique. Military power was held by Jiang’s faction including Xu Caihou. Hu Jintao had no power over the military. Although Wenchuan was in adangerous situation, Wen Jiabaowasn’t strong enough to have the army dispatched.
Chen Bingde, then chief of staff of the military published an article exposing that 72 hours after the earthquake, Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao couldn’t get the army dispatched to Wenchuan, All military action had to be approved by Jiang Zemin.
Xin Ziling, former publishing director at China’s Defense University spoke to Voice of America. He said that Hu Jintao wanted to help, but Jiang Zemin was above him. Hu Jintao only had the power to give orders to a major general. Above that level, Jiang Zemin must give orders. Xin Ziling says that Hu Jintao “can not speak” to the military.
Xin also says that if Jiang Zemin had to play the same role over current leader Xi Jinping, how could Xi do something different? Because Xi has a princeling background, he dares to fight Jiang.
So, will Xu Caihou’s case extend to Jiang?
Cao Siyuan, former cadre of the central regime says that it depends on both sides’ strength and Xi’s determination.
Cao Xiyuan: “It is a contest of strength and determination. If the determination is there, then they will investigate further to root out who was the man behind (Xu Caihou). If there is not enough strength, it will go no further. We will see.”
Yu Meisun, former secretary of the state council says that Xu Caihou’s large interest groups must be purged, including those he promoted and those who paid him to be promoted.
Yu Meisun: “Online commentaries says that Xu was Jiang’s most favorite military man. How did Xu get promoted? His supporters certainly played an important role. The supporters promoted Xu, This is an interest group. Certainly it should be purged.”
Leng Jiepu, former dean of politics at People’s University of China says that recently, former French president Nicolas Sarkozy was arrested on accusation of corruption. China should learn from democratic Western countries.
Leng Jiepu: “For a democratic country, someone like Jiang Zemin has broken the law, they would still punish him.Such as Chen Shuibian in Taiwan, Sarkozy in France, they were presidents, werent they still sent to court? Jiang Zemin should be the same. If he really has problems, he should be treated the same as Sarkozy and Chen Shuibian. He should be sent to court and sentenced. There is no doubt.”
Another military “Tiger” Guo Boxiong’s scandals were also exposed. Guo the same as Xu Caihou, served as deputy chairman of the military commission. Guo was also Jiang Zemin’s confidant.
On July 6, netizens posted online news, exposing that during 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, Guo, without asking the military commission’s approval, personally set up military disaster relief headquarters in Chendu. He rejected top disaster relief leader,Wen Jiabao’s orders.
Guo and Xu were Jiang’s close allies in the military. Guo was in charge of the PLA “General Staff Department” and “General Armaments Department”. Xu was in charge of PLA “General Political Department” and “General Logistics Department”. They were both corrupt and taking bribes. Guo made a fortune from reselling armaments.
