U.S. Activates Missile Defense System Over N. Korea Test

Now if we can just get Kerry, Kennedy, and Reilly to fly from Southeast Asia to California in one of these, we would be all set.

Preventing Genocide seems like a ligitimate reason to me.
 
I get tired of hearing people say we shouldn't be in Iraq. Those are mostly the same people that cry about abuses of power and genocide in many other parts of the world saying we should do something about it. People seem to forget that Saddam used chemical weapons against his own population.

+1 It's funny how people forget in hatred toward one man in a big white house.

Testing missles like this is more of a show of force than a legitimate threat. Even if they were able to develop one that could reach us and then were stupid enough to launch one, their remaining lives would be measured in hours rather than years.

Think about it for a minute. One or two nuclear missles could certainly hurt us tremendously but would come no where close to being a knock-out punch. And, unlike 20 Arab males entering the country in small groups and coming together on a particular day, an ICBM launch leaves a huge trail that cannot be hidden. It's very hard to deny what you just did. And such an act would allow a massive retaliation that would remove the perpetrator from everything except the history books.

Aggressive acts like small terrorist attacks are much more sinister and wear you down. Outright acts of war, while much more terrifying on a larger scale allow a more definitive response.

You know what Why don't you talk to my son who is over there right now, and see what he tells you. Most any that are over there TOTALLY BELIEVE in what they are doing. He has been all over Iraq. There are areas that absolutely love us there and some that don't. Our men and women over there have done so many good things that you NEVER here oon the news. If you are listening to main stream media only maybe you should try reading somne of the MIL blogs and find out exactly what is happening over there.
Irony is he wants to do a second tour as soon as he's back.

Destruction of liberties, Faltering US dollar, Skyrocketing price of gold
Click to expand...

I watched gold rise to over $800/oz. earlier in my life. It then fell to what -
$250-300. Only fools (and Democrats and their media tools) think that gold is
a barometer of anything but greed, and/or measures anything more than
man's willingness to gamble. Commodities are not something to base any
argument on.

Destruction of liberties is a different issue. If you are referring to Bush's
eavesdropping on terrorists vs individual citizens that is a valid topic for
discussion.

The dollar is nothing more than a commodity as well. It rises and falls faster
than the global warming trend and Al Gore's popularity.

I'm not against your son. I'm not against you. I'm against countries who pose a serious threat to the United States and don't believe Iraq to be in that group, or Iran.

I'm sorry, but if you honestly don't believe that the Al-Qaida terrorists that are occupying Iraq, or the nuclear capabilities that Iran is working on, poses no threat to the US, then you my friend are VERY naive.

Ya if you're making calls to Syria and the CIA has identified your buddy as a known terrorist.
 
abstract said:
Hmm..

Well lets see, they never found any WMD in Iraq, what makes you think they're going to find anything in Iran? You see, its all about creating a panic to get the ball rolling so they can actually get the war started. For once the war is started, it doesn't matter what they find.

You go down to your son's room, the doors locked, you smell pot, you bang on the door, he says "Give me a minute dad". You hear the widow open, a fan turn on, some fabreeze spraying. 10 minutes later he opens the door, his eyes are blood shot, he's stoned, there are empty dorritos bags all over.

What the f*** do you think he was doing?

You're probably right though he WASN'T letting inspectors in because he had NOTHING TO HIDE.... [thinking] Pure genius....
 
I guess there is absolutely no chance of him moving anything to Syria is there. He was an honest man, I mean he only murdered hundreds of thousands of people.

The agreement he signed after Kuwait specifically stated that if he didnt cooperate with the UN inspectors, he WOULD face military action.... But I guess that's just paperwork... Right Johnny Knoxville?

The point I was trying to make is when you're Liberal and think everybody in the world is good, there is absolutely no reason for a bad person to attempt to remove any evidence. I mean he only stopped inspections for 6 or 7 weeks. I'm sure that wasn't enough time. [thinking]

How about a Nuclear Holocaust !!! for a reason

His comments that Israel should be "wiped off the map" and that the Holocaust was a "myth" drew widespread condemnation from the West.


Radical Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad described on Friday Israel as a “rotten tree” that would be “annihilated with one storm”.

“The Zionist regime is a dried up and rotten tree which will be annihilated with one storm”, Ahmadinejad said at a conference in Tehran dubbed “International Conference of Holy Qods and Support for the Rights of the Palestinian Nation”.

The radical president who in December called for Israel to be “wiped off the map” said on Friday that the Jewish state was “heading towards annihilation”.

“The Zionist regime is a clear injustice and this regime is, by nature, a constant threat. It was created with the aim of setting up a constant threat in the region”, Ahmadinejad said.

“Israel cannot continue to exist in an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity without threats and aggression. If this regime stays on one inch of Palestine’s soil, it will continue its threats”.

Israel is fighting for their very survival and as Derek pointed out, an ally, a very important ally.
The lastest homes "bulldozed" by Israel were Israeli homes. They forced their own citizens out of their homes as part of a rediculous "Peace Agreement".

Ask the survivors on the USS Liberty

The Liberty was just into International waters in a war zone. If I'm not mistaken, the incident was investigated by both goverments and deemed an accident. A book recently came out which has refuted that claim and a maybe a lawsuit filed.
There are just as many conspiracy theories surrounding this incient as there are for the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the JFK assassination.

Now that we've taken this thread way off track....
