"The system is intended to protect the United States against long-range enemy missiles. But there have been three failures in the eight major tests involving attempts to shoot down a long-range dummy warhead in space over the Pacific Ocean, including the most recent test on Dec. 11."

You've got to love the NY Times. We get FIVE successful interceptions out of eight tests and they have the nerve to print some guys saying that the system will NEVER work.

Well, NEVER let it be said that the NY Times would let mere logic get in the way of pushing their anti-American, pro-NWO socialist ideology.

I participate at the NYTimes missile defense forum. My main reason is to debate the libs. It aggravates them that I intersperse scientific postings, (it's in the Science forum but Iraq, North Korea and Al Quida postings while off topic are allowed), with my belief in Truth, Justice and the American way. One of the posters is an Autralian marxist and constantly quotes the "Guardian" that commie pinko rag! Some times I feel sorry for those menatlly challenged libs...NOT!

This is a 62.5% success rate. AIDS drugs are successful nowhere near 62.5% of the time. Would the NYT now suggest that we quit using or developing drugs to help those infected with aids?

I doubt it.

LOL! I was reading the same thing in the Boston Globe(Ick.) today during lunch and brought this point up.

A liberal claimed it was impossible to perfect so I asked him if he would support it if it DID work. Of course he would not so I think that shows you what bias they have towards Missle Defense.

RLK brings up a very good point. Most of the detractors say that swarms of nukes would overwhelm the system, proving it useless. I dont see SWARMS of missles coming, just a few.

It seems to me like they are reading from thier playbook of appeasement to the USSR. That was the only country that could throw swarms of missles at us.

Amazingly enough, the UK is doing research into this area but they state that it is to stop foreign objects such as asteroids... are they rogue? :D

The Dems claim that the GOP is playing politics with the missle defense system but do they really think that we WANT a useless system!?!?!?

It's easy to see WHO is playing politics on this one, and the fact that they would play politics on this issue speaks volumes to me. Lets hope the rest of the country can see it.
