Missile Defense

Russian military leaders have expressed concern about US plans for a national missile defense system. Will defense technology be limited by possibilities for a strategic imbalance? Is this just SDI all over again?

GI : Kissinger-Pinochet meeting ( 2 Nazi's headbutting) .. is cited above, obviously written by an American .. we in Australia thought that Monica had a great intellect - i'd say easily in advance, regarding mental ability, of many at the Whitehouse - even today!

On the Chilean paper .. before reading i'd want to know who authored it, when it was written, where they were coming from with regards to their political viewpoint, i'd ask 'does the author have anything to hide', does the author want to spread a particular kind of propaganda .. and i'd think of the divisions in Chile where the people in the Pinochet camp think, and still do, that's it's alright to steal children and put them with 'new to them parents'.

Chilea hasn't had a truth commission, hasn't looked at history for what it really is, and the country is standing on the shaky foundations of deception and lies - that half the people still don't acknowledge.

Now i'll read the article ...

It has everything to do with the problems that make BMD so problematic.

And everything to do with questions of how a program that seems so misshapen and fraudulent through and through keeps being pushed.

If it isn't corruption or craziness - - what is it -- don't tell me a secret plan -- not enough people believe that.

The questions in Skeptical Senators Question Rumsfeld on Missile Defense by JAMES DAO http://www.nytimes.com/2001/06/22/politics/22MILI.html

are so serious, and so surreal when everything is considered, that questions of administration insanity or gross fraud are difficult to avoid, it seems to me. Questions about fraud become essential to ask.

And the linkages between the Nazis and the Bushes are deep, and seem to have been sustained.

(Search NAZI in this thread - start tracing references -- there's a lot out there.)

Wrong? Maybe.

But it should be checked -- because given the mess we're seeing -- the connection makes sense.

'Elaborate - and successful - steps were taken to obscure the gravesite, with hundreds of horses used to trample the ground above the tomb.' steps were taken to obscure a cover up

Showater, lunarchick and (I think) possumdag,

There's got to be some reason that you are wanting to maximize the number of posts on this list. Otherwise you, possumdag and Robert wouldn't break up what should be single posts into a bunch of "one liners".

Maybe there's some statistical hocus-pocus ahead. Is somebody working on a thesis that intends to use the ratio of "pro" and "con" posts on this forum to make some point about public opinion WRT the BMD issue? So you three work full-time to be sure that the data comes out in your favor? Posts is posts, eventhough they don't say anything? That wouldn't surprise me. Nothing else makes much sense. Is this a CONSPIRACY? Why don't you just clear that up? I am sincerely curious and you haven't answered when asked before, Robert.

Why so many teeny-weenie posts that just quote stuff that's often not even realted to the topic?

Why Robert's earlier comments about his gladness and the number of posts? Why does Robert care about how many ring binders the printout of this forum will fill?

"...By the way, since Jan 21, I've filled six 1 1/2" loose leaf notebooks with the content of this thread -- and am now starting my seventh..."

How many notebooks now, Robert? Are you going for 10,000 posts? This conspiracy theory stuff is kind of fun isn't it?

It only seems that way to you, lunarchick because you're "out there" right next to Robert.
