Let’s send some lipstick:

May I be the first to suggest that the best way to confront this issue is that EVERYONE SEND LIPSTICK TO THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN?

Your post is full of cliche— To follow suit, regardless of opinion and position, the prevailing winds come from the northwest (that would be left). I think that is the point Rush, Sean, and others are making.

God love our political process.

Doh! nice scoop. Great minds think alike. It took me about four minutes to remember how to post a picture...

Here is a more recent pic..

"I am filled with fear, anger, despair, most of all, sadness"

... so... she admits she is voting out of fear, anger, despair, and sadness?

Doesn't that suggest that Kerry has run an effective campain of fear? I think it does.

There is ZERO chance that Hagmann has anything new (or real) about that tape. No chance. Second, he is really boring on radio so I'd skip it anyway.

I hope you're not one of his subscribers. His site is bad news, in my opinion.

On the other hand, one of these days he might get something right by accident.

Yep! We're planning to be there. :)

There is nothing wrong with the main idea behind the excerpt from Nyquist above... What are we afraid of? What makes one say he's a nut?

The first paragraph is opinion and a plenty valid one considering how he came to it during the late 80s. Having read Senja myself, I'd have to agree that a serious case can be made about the Soviet Deception Nyquist is describing.

As for the facts of today, the list of newly reestablished soviet-era policies is long and VERY real.

Let me clarify on the NWO conspiracist... if you thought I was suggesting you are part of the conspiracy, then it could be considered ad hominem... BUT instead, I'm suggesting that you believe in the skull-n-bones conspiracy and this is largely what your problem with nyquist is who does not believe in such nonsense...

Suggesting you are a NWO conspiracist isn't ad hominem-- especially in light of the fact that you are.

Second, you present an argument that would indicate that you are lying. You are telling me that your written theory above was responded to by Nyquist in such a way that it was too vulger to post in this forum? Not likely.

Third, your so-called flaw doesn't make any sense. For Russia to suceed the US military would have to disregard its doctrine? How about defeat? Don't you THINK that maybe Russia has a mind to defeat the US military in the scenario? If you think Perestroika did not affect our military doctrine as well as our focus on human and signal intelligence you are sadly mistaken... as a former Marine yourself you must know the shift that took place between 1979 and 1993.

Poohbah,

You are being as nice as you can? You are out of control man!

Your ad hominem remarks are ridiculous! Your 8 years in the corps doesn't make you an expert on geopolitical events or strategy. Last I checked Scott Ritter served in the corps and has been mostly destroyed in this venue. Myself, I have time in the Corps as well--- but eight, twelve, sixteen, or twenty doesn't necessarily make me an expert either.

You are a NWO conspiracist and your agenda was EXPOSED by nyquist through email correspondence. Somehow you think your creative game has merit over someone who has lived through communism?

Wake up man! Your service has PAST into history and now you are something completely different.

It is clear you won't discuss the merits of anything even slightly associated with the Nyquist thesis. You are lost to prejudice!~

First, yes... there have been several live-fire tests of ICBMs since the 1960's. SEVERAL. When you say live fire, you must mean a live warhead launched thousands of miles. Well, as everyone would surely know, systems are tested in pieces. There have been hundreds of non-nuclear ICBM tests over the last decade. These tests are meant to determine ways in which to deter enemy radar and to trick infrared systems into mistaking dummy warheads for real ones. These tests are ongoing in Russia who have developed the most advanced systems in the world and are deploying them as we speak.

As for nuclear testing-- the U.S. conducted its last test in September of 1993 and Russia's last was in October 1990.

Your assertion that "folks in charge" consider nuclear weapons as "less useful in combat" is actually quite funny. Nuclear weapons are considered strategic weapons and Russian military doctrine considers them VERY useful as a little research would point out.

Okay.. you stated an opinion about NMD. You stated in such a way as to indicate you are informed about it.

... exactly how and why is it inadequate? You must have some understanding about the science of KKV technology to draw an opinion. Any ideas about the specific plans for deploying the system world wide? How does the system deal with dummy warheads?

The nature of Russia and China is that they have formed an alliance in July of 2001 and again this year promising to oppose the United States.

In the same summit that is the topic of this thread putin said Russia had "at her disposal a considerable... stockpile of heavy ground-launched strategic missiles...".

"Their combat characteristics, including the surmounting of any systems of anti-missile defences, are unrivalled," he said.

Now... who, besides Russia herself, has (or will have) a ballistic missile defense?

I had assumed you already had the facts regarding the nature of Russia, China, and their satellite allies (including Iraq, DPRK, Iran, Syria, and others) each having been (or previously) openly hostile to the United States.

One can't dispute that if they are informed.

In the 1960s and 1970s NATO used a policy of "FLEXIBLE RESPONSE" if I recall correctly-- not preemption.

The proper term is 'libel'... not slander which is false accusations in oral communication. Libel is the same using the written word...

Now, It seems to me that Belmont brings up an interesting point and some questions. It is interesting that these questions have sent you off in a tirade calling Belmont 'filth' and 'despicable' among other things.

Now... myself, I'd have to raise an eyebrow as well if one were to easily discard the facts regarding the hostile intentions of Russia, China, and their satellite allies. Each bent on causing harm to America and the free West. The facts are true and impossible to dispute regarding the nature of these countries.

To disagree (in this case) is to discard the truth, is it not? If we are truly all patriots, would it not be prudent to place strong pressure on our enemies if they are openly placing a deadly ultimatum on us? While it seems there is agreement on policy, there is clearly a disagreement on the origins of the real threat. Look at the facts and I think all will eventually agree.

I've not leveled any opinions of you or made any statements about what should be done. To suggest I (we) remind you of Islamic Arabs (another generalization) is, at best, inappropriate.

Did you say least government control? That strikes me as funny.

Are you familiar with the NEP and its purposes?

RussianConservative uses ad hominem to attack the truth. It seems to me that Belmont has listed the forces united against capitalism and each of them are supported through various means by Russia....

... there is no conspiracy there.

Exactly right Belmont Mark!

The russoconservative fella must not understand the NEP I'll bet.

These numbers are largely due to military equipment export to the enemies of the U.S.
