Reply #10: missile defense system is 100% Pork/Kickback [View All]

and TOTALLY obsolete!

That's a 100 BILLION Dollar gift to the "Military Industrial Complex," as President Eisenhower called it, that should have been used to upgrade security at U.S. Ports. :puke:

In 4 years, we have gone from 2% to 5% of the Intermodule containers that enter this country each day. I've unpacked those things (as a Temp a few years ago) and I can tell you, a Mega Bomb could easily be packed into the middle of one of those things that could destroy a Tunnel, Building, Bridge, all kinds of things. :mad:

Even if it did work, the system would have to be about 100 times bigger (and more expensive) to even make it likely to work.

Another Question? Who's Missile's are we defending against? Russia, China? N. Korea? Russia and China are major trading partners now. Unless Bush totally screws up those trade relations, we have know one to defend against.

I really think Bush is hoping N.Korea will Test a Nuke, :nuke:so he can justify this STUPID system.
