#2 I seem to recall that these sorts of silos are supposed to withstand near-direct hits with nuclear tipped cruise missiles. You're telling me that rain somehow got in and damaged the silos? Not the interceptors mind you, the effing SILOS?!?

#4 I went to the link and read a lot more. They've gone off half-cocked on this one. There was some damage but it was to silos under construction. There was no damage to missiles already sited so there was no degradation of capacity. Sounded like someone on the left just trying to hang something else on Bush and the FEARED MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX...

#5 The Dallas transit tunnels flooded during construction, too, because the drainage system wasn't finished and there were no pumps yet at the low point. Unfortunately, the contractor had stored the ventilation fans near the low point....

#7 Also note that that this was an ASAP contract, not a normal project. President Bush wanted our ABM system up "yesterday", and that limits quality control.

#8 I would think that this kind of information would be something worth keeping secret.
