In 2001, Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle called a press conference to ridicule supporters of the National Missile Defense program. He ended up with egg on his face. Here is a partial transcript...

I mean
Every aspect of the debate and the consideration
that is given this whole program
is... is troubling to me.
I... I mean... I...there's a disconnect there.
I mean...It just seems common sense....
I mean...there's no brain..
This isn't rocket science here...

I thought is was going to be one of the Aegis class ships that were going to shoot the missile off ?

In media speak, every USN ship is a "battleship" and every plane is a "fighter plane". Additionally, anything that has tracks on it is a "tank".

Comment:

What is really scary about the possible election of either two of the Democrat contenders is their adversity to our nations military strength.

Hillary can lie like a cur dog in heat that she wants a strong military but the facts are she detests men and women in uniform.

The only strong military she has in mind is one to control internally and one or any part of the population that might rise up to protests her new socialist policies.

Bill Clinton had Janet Reno to do his bidding to teach those who did not follow in lock step with liberal government mandates.

The results of Janet Reno was more dead Americans at that time in modern America ala Waco than all the terrorist combined.

Baracks Hussein Obama on the other hand is a great unknown.

Barracks is a scary dude who has taken on the persona of a crazed revival preacher.

As I said it will not be a surprise should either of these two TURKEYS get elected that our military will be taken to new lows in an attempt to appease the UN.
