Maybe you didn''t see the missile that intercepted a satellite with a disintigrating orbit. Missile technology HAS come a long way. Wake up.

Pure and simple, the Bible prophesies of 2 major events, one is Armagedden which includes all nations circling Jerusalem for a blood bath that will create a river of blood up to the horses bridle. The other includes the U.S. being attacked by Russia with nuclear missles. Russia has already planned to destroy the U.S. to rob us of gold in Fort Knox and the gold that was just recently publicized as being stored 2 blocks from Wall Street and owned by the World Banks. A one world money system and goverment must come into play to fulfill Bible prophecy. Obama will more than like stop the Missle Defense System, allowing all of this to fall into place. Read "FIRESTORM!" to see how all of this is possible.

And this is another example of what the republicans lost this year...out of touch.

What''''s wrong with feeling secure? I believe the Dems lost in 2000 & 2004 because they were "soft on defense."

I think the ''''silent majority'''' thinks that defending this country is priority #1.

How does launching a multi-trillion dollar attack and occupation on a country (Iraq) that was no threat to us while leaving our borders and port wide open make us more secure?

Iran has never had anything to do with flying planes into buildings.

I didn''t say Iran the country, I meant the ideology of Islamic Jihadists.

you actually named "it" after obama? Really? - you did didn''''t you?! Cool! Maybe you should have named it "bush" that would probably be more in line with reality.

Sorry, just because you worship him doesn''''t prevent your messiah NObama from being a major D*i*k*Head.

G.W. Bush is the only real American we have had in the White House since his father. So real American he willingly surrendered any hope of a legacy to keep this nation free for you to say such horrible things about him.

BTW: Attempting to steal my original thought as you do, truly does not impress me, or any other real American who does worshipper your messiah NObama.

Cariboubarbie, why is it libs like you refuse to recognize that Radical Islam is an evil ideology whicjh has NO SPECIFIC country representing it. I forgot in order to make sense of your Iraq critisism you must relegate radical Islam to specific countries. That is nonsense and you know it.

Iran has nothing to gain and everything to lose if they nuke Israel or anyone else. It would be game over for them period. Thanks to us, they are THE rising power in the region. They don''''''''t need to nuke anyone. We did all the work for them by removing Sadam.

We can''''''''t stop them from developing nukes. We''''''''re too week and broke from digging a hole in Iraq. We can''''''''t afford missile defense either. It''''''''s just another no-bid money giveaway to a military contractor and it does nothing whatsoever to make us more secure.

These are the same people who fly airplanes into buildings, remember. I do agree it seems kinda strange that we would build an anti-missle base in Poland to protect Europe from Iran. Clearly these systems are to protect us from Russia.

Personally in this day & age--the more missile defense the better!

Above all else, the leaders in Iran want to continue their reign of power. Being wiped off the face of the earth goes against that goal so they will not launch a nuclear attack on anyone.

The only missile defense that works is having your own nuclear missiles which is why Iran wants one.

Cariboubarbrie, your statement assumes Iran and radical Islamists think logically, clearly and are not driven by an extremism that we cannot comprehend. 911 was a glaring example of this nonsensical barbarism. We have nukes but won''t use them because of our compassion and effort to always midigate collaterall damage, the enemy we fight which includes Iran as they kill people in Iraq every day would not show the same civilized compassion, every American hating terrorist on the planet if able to get a nuke would use it in a heart beat. Why you people refuse to recognize the evil and extremism of radical Islam is not only dangerous it''s simply self destructive.

I have no doubt that is true. Isn''t it odd though that many countries only use nukes for a deterent and absolute necessary defensive strategy yet when others say that they want to posses them for the same reason it is deemed an offensive threat? It''s a no-win strategy that can only fail but absolutely must not fail. They are as good for war and total destruction as they are an absolute necessity now for peace. A miserably dangerous and expensive canundrum.

No it doesn''''''''t concern me at all. Israel has nukes and if Iran really attacked them with nukes, they''''''''d both be destroyed....game over. The Iranian leader strengthens his hold on power by creating external enemies just like Bush. Iranian leadership may be a little crazy but they''''''''re not stupid. They are THE rising power in the region and have everything to lose and nothing to gain by launching a nuclear attack of any kind.


Posted by CaribouBarbi at 10:11 AM : Nov 13, 2008

A little crazy? Remember we''''re talking about Islamic extremists here. Israel can take care of itself, though. They have already said they will knock out Iranian nuke facilities if Iran even gets close to getting nukes.

So the only reason the nuke was used was because the US was the only one to have a nuke? I''''ll give you the benefit of the doubt with your over simplification and assume you know better. The dilemma at the time was whether to attack mainland Japan at the risk of thousands more GI lives. The question I''''ve always had was why two bombs were dropped w/o giving time for the threat to materialize into a surrender.

As for nuke defense, if the system is needed, the EU should build and operate it. I don''''t understand what American interests would be hurt if it isn''''t built except for our military industrial buddies who probably have a no-bid contract. The thing that would bother me is that these things will become a target drawing military attention from a foe and the circle of defense and destruction comes around again. I wouldn''''t want to live near it.

iCi2i, I''ve read the various justifications for going nuclear against Japan and yes, IMO, we did it because we could. I do not believe that we would have went nuclear had we faced a retaliatory threat in kind.
