    Missile Defense

Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a "Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense initiatives more successful? Can such an application of science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable, necessary or impossible?

Cont'd.......

“Under fire” ? Asking you to focus, and address the questions asked re: your ‘hard work’ with your “world asset” for the past 3 years ? Still haven’t figured it out, eh ? Still evading ?

Your pending proposal, “a model” for GW administration “and other institutions and nations” ? What nonsense, given the nature and extent of your own problems, amply demonstrated here !

ultimately TRUTH outs : TRUTH has to be morally forcing : build on TRUTH it's a strong foundation

Cantabb - your attention is requested urgently here

Can we do a better job of finding truth? YES. Click "rshow55" for some things Lchic and I have done and worked for on this thread.

The story I like best about me, in this regard, is that I'm just a guy who got interested in logic, and military issues........with what he knew or could guess.

Your autobiographical details -- of no relevance here. And I for one : Sorry, NOT interested !

If you choose to "call me Ishmael" - the things that matter most that have been discussed on this thread stand unchanged - especially the fact of the thread itself - what was said - and when.

NOT interested [in "calling" you "Ishmael"].

The NYT has aided and abetted my work to such an extent that we are in nothing like a "simple" adversarial position - no matter who you ( Cantabb ) report to.

Although I am making an assumption, Cantabb - that you report to someone.

Like most of your "assumptions," simply baseless ! Your own obsession !

Cantabb , you're a master at picking fights. It isn't hard to pick fights. It is technically hard to figure out how to avoid them.

I have asked questions. "Fighting" seems to be YOUR teenage fascination -- I recall your references to it.

I'm trying to do that. On my background - if the NYT hasn't done any investigations on that - they've had plenty of opportunity to do so. This thread offers a big corpus of things that can be checked and cross-checked. And I'm available. I'm also available to the government.

I'm NOT intersted in your or anyone else's "background." Just interested in what's posted here. And, if I've questions/comments on what's posted, I let it be known -- regardless of who the poster may be. Posters' background and ID etc, your obsession -- NOT mine !

rshow55 tag-line: "Can we do a better job of finding truth? YES." Are YOU doing it [in any area] ? Merely saying it repeatedly may be part of your own "Loop Test" -- doesn't move you a millimeter foward or closer to "the truth" in the still-named area you've been looking for IT for the past 3 years !

Which derisive 'charm' school begot Cantabb ...
