Last week, Japanese media reported government intelligence suggesting that North Korea may launch a missile toward Hawaii on or immediately following the upcoming July 4 holiday. This follows the communist state's sentencing of two American journalists to long prison terms, and the U.S. Navy's close tracking a North Korean freighter suspected of carrying weapons. In response to the missile threat, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates initiated the deployment of missile-defense measures in Hawaii. -

Alaska and Hawaii are both possible destinations. Even with a stay over in Russia, a Sarah Palin welcome party, and the release of our two captured American journalists, there will be enough time to build a new bridge to nowhere before its arrival.

There needs to be cuts in missile defense you goof! Reagan was told 30 years ago that the technology didn't exist for it, and he squandered billions on it anyway. Got so bad, he had to raise taxes to pay for it more than once, more than twice, more than three times......And here we are three decades and more than a trillion dollars later still struggling with it. Meanwhile who got filthy rich over thirty years trying to perfect it? Don't you get it? The military industrial complex is out of freaking control! Who is working on the system? After thirty years do ya suppose they don't have intelligent enough people working on it? Look what Bill Gates accomplished in half that time! Give it to free market with a huge reward for whoever works it out and get those morons off the tit of the American taxpayer!

$4.1 million was given to 30 key members of Congress by the defense pac. (Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop Gurmman, and so on). This missile defense thing is the trifecta for more than 75 contractors. Compare what they get to what's being spent on intelligence for terrorist cells who can wipe you out with a dirty bomb, or unleash some nasty little disease on the population, or contaminate our food or water supply.-

Why am I "wrong?" If it looks like a duck, and walks like a duck....It's a duck. Are you saying key members of Congress haven't been given money to vote on the side of this pac? Are you saying that after thirty years it makes sense to look at this picture and figure out that something is wrong? Are you saying that after a trillion dollars and more, perhaps

"So I take it you've worked on missle defense. All I can tell you is that you are wrong."

You like to say that an awful lot without ever providing proof. Why don't you post the real-world test results of the missile shield's response and strike capability?-
