He stated, "The Bush administration has finally agreed to let the military build a forward base on the moon, which will put them in a better position to keep track of the goings and comings of the visitors from space, and to shoot at them, if they so decide."


"Rest assured, Stargate Command is deeply appreciative of the level of support which the Bush Administration has shown towards the program."



Gotta love the assumption of "ethical" aliens, though. If they share the same ethics as this guy, then they'd also be against weapons in space. In which case, we really got nothing to worry about. For all we know, though, the ethics of the supposed aliens may be more in line with the ethics of THIS guy...



Either way, this guys whole line of reasoning is stupid. "We don't want the Americans to be shooting at the peaceful, kind, fluffy, and ethical aliens, even though 'ethical' aliens wouldn't really give them a reason to shoot at them, because then it might cause those self-same ethical aliens to turn their planet-destroying weaponry on a species vastly inferior technologically to them". Yeah, REAL ethical.

I, for one, welcome our peaceful, kind, fluffy, and ethical overlords.
