The Carter and Clinton admins ON STERIODS. Playing to the anti-war, radical, leftist fringe.

So, Sect’y Gates is willing to lose a few cities. Good to know that he is cool with that.

The ultimate weapon: dig up John Wayne, clone him, give him a couple six-shooters, strap him to that thing and drop it where ever there’s a problem.

I know I’d surrender.

That thing scares the ever lovin sh*t out of me. I have nightmares about the MKV and predator drones being used against the American people by our own government.

A really dumb call by obama, letting this one go. According to the literature, one of the hardest tasks in missile defense is figuring out which piece of an incoming missile is the warhead. Often when they stage there is a spent tank floating along with them, post-boost vehicle, maybe some debris from the staging event... Apparently these things can have quite a cloud of "stuff" up there. As I understand it from wikipedia, the MKV was supposed to simplify the job. "Can't tell which piece is the lethal one? Kill them all!" Well, I hope the radar guys are up to the task of figuring out which one to hit. Or maybe ABL or KEI can knock them down in boost before they have a chance to separate into a bunch of junk...oh, that's right, both those programs were shelved too! I guess we're screwed then, thanks obama!
