"Specifics of Rumsfeld's involvement in providing money and missile technology to rogue states, please."Never ask specifics of relativists...I hear it makes their heads explode when they try to comply.
To: Cobra64
"And W is supposed to care?"LOL...Old Vlad was really bent when GW trashed the outdated ABM treaty in favor of missile defense, and Red China's opinion of ANYTHING which might interfere with their notions of Communist Empire isn't worth the ink to print it!
To: ConservativeLawyer
Well it HAS been decades since Reagan first proposed/announced it. It's about time. But I do say Hip-Hip-Hooray for the engineers that have been working their butts off all this time.

Can Muttly have 10 ground-based interceptor missiles...at Fort Muttly? I promise to be good.
...then can he have an updated version of the Navy's Standard Missile-3? I promise...
To: cake_crumb
Hell, Vlad knows if he works out with the kneepads enough we'll probably give it to them gratis

i wonder if any country that actually has - or will soon have - ballistic nukes would fire one at the US anyway, knowing full well what the response would be. If we're that worried about a nuclear explosion in the US, we should be using the money we spend annually on SDI to defend our borders better.
To: modern_orthodox
Yeah? You think they know full well? With all the red diaper doper babies like Sean Penn assuring them that we're all sniveling whimps that don't have the belly for the wet work? That's one reason we need to go in and kick old Sodom in the ass. When they cease to fear us you bet they'd try it.

I agree our borders are important, but the US can walk and chew gum. We can do missle defense and border security.
I will grant you that Bush hasn't made border security a top issue. At least he has not pushed his plan for amnesty since 9/11, so there is still hope. I'm form Southern California, so I know how important border security is.

They said on Fox News tonight that North Korea does have a missile capble of reaching Alaska or Hawaii but not the continental United States.

You will never hear from that crowd. They are far to busy bashing Bush to notice anything he is doing that proves his is different from Gore Clinton and the Damocrats.

Rumsfield is a CFR member who along with the foreign policy advisors aided in sending money to N. Korea as well as other rogue nations who pose a security threat to the United States. The fact that the U.S. is on friendly terms with Russia should put everybody on red alert. Putin is no friend of the U.S. anymore than N. Korea is.
To: kattracks
Remember in the last 80's the M1 Tank wouldn't work, was a dud etc..
The kill ratio in the Gulf war with this tank was something like 50-1. The tank did ride hundreds of miles in the desert without too many problems !
Missle defense is about the same right now !

Putin is a hell of a lot more friendly than a good chunk of our supposed allies.

The CFR along with the IMF, and World Bank have contributed to rogue nations since the early 1900's. If I were you, I'd get ahold of this reader entitled,
Tragedy and Hope by Carroll Quigley as there is a mass of information I am sure you would be very much interested in knowing. It even explains who is really behind the funding of these world wars. You can get ahold of this reader by contacting The New American magazine.
And yes, Rumsfield and other CFR associates are equally and deeply involved in these war efforts financially because it is they who hold a financial interest regardless of which nation loses or wins. Pgs. 948-956 of this text states how these wars were started and how the CFR, Rockefeller and other elitist power figures controlled from behind the scenes. This book is 1311 pages. It is something you might want to add to your bookshelf and throw out all those school history books that tell it otherwise as much as been omitted from our history books. I burned all my school books. When this book first came out, those who control the book publishing business as well as the power elite wanted this book to disappear completely!
And as for Putin, I wouldn't even want to shake hands with him. I would avoid him like the plague. He is just as equally bad as Castro. Those Russian people over there, just as the Cuban citizens, are suffering real bad. I know this because I had a fellow classmate who came from Russia and told me how the people there have no freedom or rights at all. If you even dare speak against your government in Russia, you have the Russian GPU on your ass immediately. When visitors like U.S. citizens go over to Russia, the Russian communist government is immediately tipped off and what the American tourist sees in only what the Russian government wants the American tourist to see. It is the grand lie that our own government holds as a pact with the Russian government by deceiving us. It is an injustice to us citizens for this grand lie just as much as it is to the Russian citizens who desparately want to leave that country and truly be free.

Fine. Then you ought to be able to supply proof the proof of Donald Rumsfeld's personal involvement in providing money and weapons to North Korea without me having to ask you FOUR TIMES already...

OK, if the people who control the book publishing business wanted the book to disappear, then why did this book ever get published in the first place?

I'm gonna respond by telling you and Poobah to get the book as I suggested. Then, you be the judge as to who really is behind all this war business. However, that depends on how well-literate you are to understand the book. The author, Quigley, made note of the fact that CFR members have been behind this funding of the war business for a long time. And yes, I may include Rumsfield, because Rumsfield is a part of the foreign policy advisor known as the CFR, who advise Bush on what to do.
To: goldilucky; Poohbah
Oi...
Get Jesus and stop being afraid of everything for Pete's sake.
So what if they do secretly control things from behind a big curtain....is God still not in control? Are they gonna slip one by the Big Guy? Catch him slippin?
LOL
