SNIPPET from post no. 1:
"Gates acknowledged on the way here today during a stop in the Philippines that there are signs the North Koreans are doing something with another ballistic missile, but said it is unclear what they are doing. But he expressed confidence that this system could stop any potential threat from North Korea."
Funny, is the administration talking about our Missile Defense system? You know, the same one various libs and 'rats derided as unworkable, un-doable, impractical, impossible, etc. Now all of a sudden, the 'rats have full confidence in the system. So much so, they're willing to scale back GBIs. Wow, they must really trust those interceptors...
Bunch of lying hypocrites.
