The Russian cabal must have decided that mere disassembly and storage would be sufficient to ensure the success of a first strike on the U.S., ending forever the existence of our 'super-power' role, if not our existence outright.

I wonder how many of the "whiz kids" down in Foggy Bottom have ever heard of the Treaty of Locarno, or, even if they have, of the role that this early example of appeasement of Germany by the UK played in setting the stage for WW-II? Well, if you look at our overall approach to dealing with other countries who have strategic military rocketry since WW-II, it's as if we've undertaken an escalating series of "Locarnos." This one, given the highly predictable continuation by the Russians of the same sorts of deceptions employed against the UK by Germany, 1920 - 1938, will likely be seen by some future historians analyzing our bumbling, as the icing on the cake. What fools we have purporting to be "leaders." They have apparently missed the first requirement for being a true leader - courage.

This is like the fifth or sixth article on the same thing this week. It has all the same comments by the same players. Its too close to the weekend to start another debate with the same people over the same thing so - for all ultra-conservative non-interventionist paranoids out there, hear this "We just pulled down our trousers down to our ankles, bent over, and yelled 'Ivan, stick it right hear!'"

For the rest of you, enjoy your weekend and rest assured your United States Armed Forces are out there fighting the war on terrorism along with our allies (Russia among them) to prevent what happened on 9/11 from ever happening again. And several thousand other professional servicemen and citizens in public and private life are scrutinizing, developing, testing, and delivering to those armed forces members the weapons and systems they have asked for to meet their wartime needs.

Its not a perfect system, but its the best in the world today! Be proud of it.
