#1 ya gotta love the attitude: it's not a No-Dong, or a Big-Dong or a Prithvi, or a "here's our national self-esteem in a tube", it's a frigging STANDARD MISSILE-3

Bwahahahaha!

#4 You'll notice how they almost *never* mention the 747-carried lasers anymore? The objective here is to have layered defenses, which are the mirror image of the "overkill" offense. However, little mention is made of the shorter range uses of these defenses, except against Israel. How to protect the Arabian Gulf, etc.?

#6 Geez, what's the big deal????

Tom Clancy saved DC with this system years ago.

And from what I've been hearing about the Chinese in Siberia there may be MORE truth in The Bear & The Dragon.

In an effort to avoid being hit a return missile strike after his ICBMs fell harmlessly in the north Pacific, the dictator had a double created through facial plastic surgery. The real dictator left town. The problem was that no one believes that this person is the real dictator, because the rest of the body is all wrong! The real dictator's train has been spotted by satellite heading for the Chinese border...
