    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?

He couldn't even tell what he thought he was working on so hard for the past 3+years. Imagine !

"Had he understood, had he been brave enough, able enough - he'd have explained much more - and now he aches for his lost chances."

Nothing more illustrates what us & NYT have been going through than this link in the post is to...ITSELF!!....typical Showalter insanity.... to him this "link" is part of his "brilliant" thinking... evidence of the "corpus"....then the "link" is repeated two thousand times....

Between 21,000 and 55,000 people have died as a result of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and its aftermath, according to a new report that also warned of rapidly deteriorating health conditions for those who survived.

"Had he understood, had he been brave enough, able enough - he'd have explained much more - and now he aches for his lost chances." [rshow55]

Is he talking about himself & this thread ? If so, then I think the last part is just sad: " ... now he aches for his lost chances."

Opportunities he missed regularly !

MD relevance ? STILL a dumping ground, eh ?

Iraqis Being Arrested for Making Anti-US Statements US "Democracy" in Iraq:

Within the past month, I have seen more and more stories that mention Iraqis being arrested for making anti-US or pro-Saddam statements. Most of these news items have been buried in other stories or appear as captions on news photos.

Today's UK Mirror has an article about US troops arresting and gagging an Iraqi man for "making anti-coalition statements."

U.S. troops arrest Iraqi for criticising them 12:40, Nov 11 2003- http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/24by7panews/page.cfm?objectid=13613560&method=full&siteid=50143

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - American soldiers handcuffed and firmly wrapped masking tape around an Iraqi man's mouth as they arrested him for speaking out against occupation troops.

Asked why the man had been arrested on Tuesday and put into the back of a Humvee vehicle on Tahrir Square, the commanding officer told Reuters at the scene: "This man has been detained for making anti-coalition statements."

"MD relevance..."

None. No need for MD against Iraq.

Showalter's total evasion of any responsibility for his tens of thousands of posts is just outrageous behaviour, which he covers up as quickly and stupidly as possible, by blathering for a few days that he "cant wait to see the thread shut down..." this is his ridiculous chant....he thinks this will make us forget that he is trying to evade any responsibility for his actions...
