But everyone knows that the Clinton NMD architecture was deliberately designed to not work so that the ChiComs could nuke us with impunity, especially since we gave them the same technology that our own missiles have, even though our missiles don't actually work...

I swear, logic is just wasted on some folks.

No, x42 line-item vetoed proven SDIO space-based interceptor missile defense enabling technology projects (Brilliant Pebbles, Clementine II and Delta Clipper/DC-X) and reorganized SDIO into an ineffective BMDIO.

Meanwhile he enabled US companies like Motorola, Hughes and Loral to transfer missile delivery technology to the ChiComs by giving them techtransfer waivers over the objection of rational people that understood the national defense implications.

Whether his motives were due to an affinity for his socialist brothers in Mao suits, or the large bags of cash they provided to the DNC or just plain indifference, he still compromised US national security. We are poorer in many ways because of x42's blind hatrid of President Reagan's dream of a World free from nuclear blackmail and terrorism.

We still aren't there yet, but this is one step towards President Reagan's vision. It is too bad that we don't go back to basics and impliment space-based interceptors, rather than doing things the hard way from the ground.

The Aegis NMD approach is NOT the Clinton plan. Clinton was expressly limiting the NMD site to one installation to conform to the old ABM Treaty which he venerated as Holy Writ. His schills that he appointed to the DOD and at State (e.g., Strobe Talbott) were consciously and expressly sabotaging the SM-3 development so that it would not be a realistic strategic missile interceptor...slowing it down, making it smaller, shorter range. All of these policy-driven acts of sabotage have had to be 'undone'. You should know this, since you purport to be in the field.

Any way, if all the 'stops' were pulled out on the Aegis NMD deployment (as I advocate), we would already have this thing deployed...not just being tested.

The specter of GWB shamefully echoing BeelzaBubba's "Three No's" performance for his Chinese puppet-masters should be burning in your brain.
