The creation of a missile shield to protect America from nuclear attack has been the dream of the Pentagon for decades. Billions have been spent on Star Wars technology without any of the tests achieving their goal. President Bush push the concept of the anti-ballistic system on Eastern Europe with the expected result that the Russians sought to counter this ‘threat’ with a show of force, most notably in Georgia, where their troops soundly beat the Georgians, despite out technical support.
I had hoped with the arrival of President Obama that these schemes would be put to sleep, however the new president is taking nothing off the table and only last week ordered missile strikes on Taliban targets in Pakistan. Now it has come to light that Special Forces are training the Pakistan troops, even though the Pakistan president has signed a non-aggression pact with the Muslim extremist allowing them to set up Sharia or Islamic law in the Valley of Swat.
More missiles.
The Pentagon likes them.
You can sit at home and watch the action on TV as if you were playing the old Sega game MISSILE COMMAND, only you were the attacker instead of the defender. Die Die Die.
Barack Obama is of the age to have played that game.
And so are the rest of us.
A good attack is the best form of attack.
Personally I think he’s being railroaded by the hawks in the Pentagon.
“Mr. President, the target is acquired.”
At one point he will have to say, “No.”
Because these things are no accurate, unless you believe what the Pentagon tells you.
And no one is such a fool like that anymore.
