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?

Energizer Bunny goes on & on: Ten (10) more self links !

Keep grinding, guys.

Because you keep evading the questions ? Just reminders !

Suggestion: Search "treasonous disregard."

What'll it show: Your answers to the questions you've been dodging ? Anything remotely concerned with MD ?

......shows an extensive corpus that has gone on a long time.

Just a “corpus” of nonsensical hodgepodge. Has sure gone on for a long time: Now a much bigger heap of ... [of the same] !

I think some of the postings by gisterme...

You mean, NOT to change the subject?

That poster may be lurking, but has not posted anything since my last exchange with him a few days ago. What “renewed interest”? Another wild goose chase on his identity ? Another red-herring ?

On missile defense - if anyone actually wanted to get things to closure - no forum can be the place for it. But patterns that could work have been much discussed ….close.

Drivel !

This thread has been "noticed" ………The question of "who is gisterme is getting more interesting - and more and more people with power and independence are taking positions where it may be answered…..There is a question closely connected to " what did he know - and when did he know it?" It is "what did he say - and when did he say it?

"[N]oticed" for what ? Abuse ?

Another Wild goose chase.

What else are you going to do, and how long, to dodge the questions on YOUR much professed activity and claims “

But you should know that : “It got understood and exposed.”

Gisterme , I didn't come to the conclusion that you were Bush quickly - and maybe I jumped to an incorrect conclusion. My early judgements were more guarded, and they were repeated. They were expressed as follows, in language that included deputy national security advisor Hadley……….. If gisterme does not have high government connections -- and is not speaking with authority --- gisterme has often written to convey a sense that those connections exist………..I thought then, and think now, that if Hadley knows anything important, and politically sensitive, Bush knows it, too in all the ways that ought to matter in terms of leadership responsibility.

[And about 20 self-links]

Chasing your own tail ? Creating your own demons.

Address if you can what’s posted or asked of you: Your hunt for “Who’s who” is a lame exercise for a lamer, more senseless excuse.

Obviously, you’d rather do anything than answer the questions about your activity and claims.

“It got understood and exposed.”

that depends on who cares - and who checks. Things are shifting fairly fast - and it is obvious that some posters recently mobilized care a good deal. Why? It may be that some journalistic usages will come under scrutiny.

Obviously, your “checking” does NOT involve “facts,” or all relevant verifiable facts.” Because NO "facts" are tailor-made custom-designed to fit into your paranoia.

If I were a New York Times stockholder who was not " in the family " - - - …..

SO ?

Maybe I'm wrong - and cantabb and Jorian319 are not salaried NYT officers or employees.

What else is new ? Did you see the list bluestar23 put together of your identification on posters, and the tortured explanations. Private speculations, totally irrelevant to a public Forum.

But if they are - the NYT organization should worry about what it is selling - and what implicit promises it is making to the people who buy the paper.

IF they were, any one in any organization would say: They ARE asking questions that needed to be asked. But why is the other poster using all kinds of ways to keep dodging the questions.

Maybe I'm wrong, and Roshow is not a total loon. But if he is, the Keepers better check on how much internet time they're alotting him.

There you ARE wrong, jorian :)

Turkey is wanting into the EU with the one hand, and is assisting with Iraq with the other (10,000 military). ……leads to massive discontent.

Nothing as usual to do with MD.

"It got understood and exposed." Finally !
