#1 Russia refused to join or participate in GMD, are building their own BMD or at least trying to, plus are unilater arming Amer's enemies to the hilt like the loyal friend of America they are.

#2 It is time to stop unilaterally defending our supposed allies. By all means provide a shield for Poland, the Czech Republic, Denmark, etc. but think twice about intervening on behalf of Phrance.

#3 France has their own missiles, they can damn well provide their own defense.

#4 The problem is this sort of defence works best the sooner we know about an attack. Bases on the ground in Europe would know of a polar-bound missile a lot sooner than a satelite in Earth orbit that is over the South Pacific at the time of launch.

A Geosynchronus orbit satellite would be a good option though.

#5 It will not be there to protect Europe. It's situated there to provide an earlier opportunity to shoot down incoming, before they are over US territory.

#6 GMD would have both SPACE + GROUND/SURFACE, and very likely in-betweens = intermediary systems as well, e.g. BLIMPS, 24-7-365, JSTARS/ABL-types, at least for time being. However, both GMD like NASA are believed to be the hit list for new Congress after Jan 2007. * LUCIANNE.com/OTHERS > DEMS CLAIM TO INHERIT GOP "FINANCIAL MESS", PELOSI > DEMS WILL "DRAIN/CLEAN GOP SWAMP". etal.

As for RUSSIA, FREEREPUBLIC POSTERS > Russia is not America's friend, Russia only intended to use the USA-West to revitalize + modernize its MIC-'Plexes, Russia - despite 1989 or 1991 - has never stopped nor ceased its anti-US, anti-Western, anti-democratic COLD WAR = UNIPOLAR MARXIST-STALINIST SOCIALIST SUPERPOWER AMBITIONS-AGENDAS. RUSSIA > HOLD EUROPE HOSTAGE TO ENERGY + OTHER FORMS OF AYSMETRIC, GEOPOL, ECON-POL/DIPLOM WARFARE WHILE US DEMOLEFTIES AND ALIGNED WEAKEN AMERICA FOR FUTURE DOMINATION-CONTROL BY RUSSIAN-CENTRIC EURASIA. The US Dems agenda of empowering + entrenching ANTI-AMER AMER SOCIALISM INSIDE AMERICA, WHILE WEAKENING OVERSEAS is perfectly consistent. PC = We are helping Russia = Russia-China/SCO = Commie Asia/Eurasia = Mackinder's World Island, etc to kill ourselves.
DIALECTICISM = WAFFLISM = LEGAL LIAR > iff one is a Legal Liar, WHY NOT A LEGAL TRAITOR??? IN A LAND WHERE UNDER GUISE OF RIGHTEOUS "FORTRESS AMERICA = AMERICA FIRST = LIBERATARIAN/ETHNIC RIGHTS = NATURAL RIGHTS, .................@etal. RADICALISTS + ACTIVISTS ARE PUSHING HARD FOR LEGAL PEDOPHILIA, LEGAL BESTIALITY, LEGAL POLYAMORY/POLYGAMY, LEGAL TEACHER-MINOR SEX, LEGAL MURDER, etc. ERGO, WHY NOT LEGAL TREASON! Its GLOBALISM, D *** ng it, the WOT > about Radical Islam AND ONLY RADICAL ISLAM, correct!? AMERICAN CITIZENS CAN NOT HAVE "TOO MANY" RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, correct!?
Was another "NOT TOO MANY" news article yesterday on the Net but D*** I forgot whatziabout.
