know your adversary ... as they try to ramp up the fear
Edited on Tue Dec-09-08 08:49 AM by Agony
"In 33 minutes or less, life as we know it in America could change forever. That's the time it would take for a ballistic missile fired at the United States could reach its target. "

grammatically incorrect but... but soooo... fear inspiring. "new" missile age?

"33 Minutes: Protecting America in the New Missile Age is a high-definition documentary (premiering in February, 2009)
that explores the very real threat posed by hostile nations and rogue dictators. "

I will not link to these idiots but I am sure you can figure out who the crap pushers are. edit: more below so you don't have to go there.

"Our government has moved too slowly to build the missile defense systems capable of defending us against such attacks. This is wrong. We have the technologies to do the job. And building a system is affordable, costing no more than 3 percent of the total annual defense budget.
We need to overcome the complacency of politicians, the spurious arguments of academics, and the narrow-minded interests of government in order to defend Americans from this potential nuclear holocaust."

"to send us your contact information. A representative from The Heritage Foundation will be in touch with you before February to coordinate your screening. Thank you for your interest."

unilateral wars, we're going to starve to death because the country and everyone in it will be bankrupt. We will be so hated by the world, that citizens of the USA will be unable to flee the miserable conditions here. I'd rather die instantly than to starve.
