I wonder what Al Gore would have done.

The blame for 911 is on Bush. Clinton OK''d the killing of Bin Laden - CIA failed to deliver, and when Clinton did launch missle strikes against terrorists the neocon press called it wagging the dog while spending millions to investigate his *** life instead of concentrating on the terror security, they were more interested in Bill''s zipper.
I want to know why NORAD and the East Coast fighter command was sitting on its buns on 911 - HOW 4 planes go missing from the same airport and there is no increased security in the air. How an amateur who had never really flown a real jetliner manages to elude our "air defense" system and fly straight into the Pentaon (though there is legitimate doubt about what hit the Pentagon- since the most guarded surface building in the US seems to have no sophisticated video record of its grounds or air space- really?).

I want to know why Can''t-Do-Rice wasn''t grilled to the high heavens and fired for her failures as national security advisor to give the terorist problem the emphasis it deserved. Bush refuses to accept in responsibility as "co-conspirator in chief". It''s not even a liberal versus conservative issue. It''s a who was in charge issue, because if someone was in charge they failed, and if someone wasn''t in charge it''s an even worse failure. Not to mention the ultimate failure to get Bin Laden when they had him corned- they literally let him and the rest of the Taliban walk. Yeah that''s the fault of all the whining liberals.

CBS News: '' The three-stage Navy missile, designated the SM-3, has chalked up a high rate of success in a series of tests since 2002, in each case targeting a short- or medium-range ballistic missile, never a satellite. A hurry-up program to adapt the missile for this anti-satellite mission was completed in a matter of weeks; Navy officials said the changes would be reversed once this satellite was down. ''

-Run for armement, again. China is the new foe Nation now. This is way more difficult than fighting a cold war with Russians, especially if they line up with Chinese against us...
Something sure Russia''s Northern land is at stake, China''s eyeing it long ago, more recently with the development China is experiencing, they need more of the Natural resources in Russia territory.

-The success of the latest experience, shows China we have the technology and capacity to down their satellites if they start shooting ours over their territory.

Despite the cries from leftwing, bedwetting anit-American liberals, once again we domonstrate good old American know-how.

You limp wristed, anti-American libs should go crawl into a hot tub with Putin. Since you have your collective lips on his arse you might as well go all th way.

Wow! A missile without an explosive warhead hit a 40" object inside a satellite the size of a schoolbus and vaporized the whole thing. The SM-3 uses a warhead that it no more than a metal bullet. Somebody please repeat this experiment on the ground.

I know the explanation will be that the hydrazine exploded and vaporized everything, but look at the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion. There was much more fuel, and huge objects, including the whole crew capsule, fell back to Earth.

I don''t buy it. I think the US wanted to prove we could poke a mission-ending hole in a satellite with a missile, but that the satellite''s self-destruct system was fully functional. That''s the only explanation I see for the thing exploding into parts no bigger than a football.

"China said Thursday it was on the alert for possible harmful fallout from the shootdown..."

Betcha they are on a massive treasure hunt today.

Please explain how 9/11 is Bush''s fault. Please include in your explanation how the perpetrators started taking flying lessons here in the states in 1996. Please explain why Bin Laden was not killed or captured prior to 2001.

We''re waiting.
