#1 OOH, they even quoted John Pike, so you know it's full of genuine unbiased goodness!

The sad thing is, this particular implementation of missile defense may be pretty bad... but thanks to the democrat administrations people like Pike have supported, that have pretended to have meaningful agreements with totalitarian retards like the Kims, our choice is now a risky system or no system at all. We're out of time to develop good options.

#2 Nothing helps the development of good options (and focuses the mind) as being out of time.

#3 Best defense is still the First Strike. Followed by Second Strike, Third Strike, etc, there's nothing but bedrock and Juche being bounced from left to right.

#4 I am close enough that I see most launches and see the second stage seperate often. Makes me "feel better."

#7 I can see them blow up :p as the crow flies I am betting it's about 60 miles from here. I know I can talk to the area on VHF simplex at very low power. Actually used to talk with a "rocket guy" over there.

#8 We'll keep working on it. This ABM system is not going to be our last. It's better than nothing.
