I hate to rain on your parade, but look up the warhead yield and CEP of the Trident II D5 vs. the MX. The Trident is not a hard target killer. Period. The d**n thing has a 100 kiloton warhead. The MX has an in-flight selectable 300 - 475 kiloton warhead. The MX has a CEP (look it up, to long to explain) of 90 meters. The D5 has a CEP of 250 meters.

The MX was not outdated then and isn't today. It is the apex of ballistic missile technology throughout. That level of accuracy is the limit unless you start using manuverable re-entry vehicles.... which are more complicated and break easier - not what you want for your front-line warhead. The only thing obsolete about the Peacemaker was the basing startegy. Congress was a bunch of cheap spineless RATS (not much has changed!), they took the state of the art missile and put in frigging 20 year old Minuteman II silo's. The MX was designed to be a mobile ICBM, rail and road based launchers, just like Russia's new Topol-M (ss27).

Look at it this way, WE couldn't take out 50's technology SCUD's in Desert Storm, do you think we have a chance against the Topol-M? The MX is the TIP OF THE SPEAR... why do you think Russia hated it so much? They KNOW that if we had deployed that bad boy in strength on mobile launchers, they would have no chance. None.

And now, here we are..... the only country that believes it gets safer every time it THROWS AWAY its weapons.

--I know joel personally. the man is smart, knows his stuff, is a bona fide real patriot, got contacts like crazy all over the world, and really knows his stuff as it relates to survival and threat mitigation, similar to what I do. he's been doing if for years and years. His analysis is first rate, have yet to read any of his stuff that turned out to be bogus. From the article:

"As I have said before in prior Briefs, our leaders aren’t simply stupid, naive, or even suicidal. These tactics of covering for Russian violations and war preparations indicate that US globalist leaders have some sort of ulterior motives not in accord with US sovereign interests."

This is the jackpot of the bingos, the mother of all truths here, and the main thing to always keep in mind when trying to figure out what the heck is going on all the time.

The mx like stated could be made road mobile or railed. We got like 100 zillion acres of fed land out west they could be dispersed to, in coordination with watching the tracks of foreign satellites. they could be moved and hidden and disappear, and are still quite useful.

The globalist goons are making the US impotent, hiding behind this war on terror nonsense. Although these wolves squabble with each other at times, they are all aligned and united behind the belief THEY are the wolves and everyone else is the herd animal.

It just keeps getting worse with Bush. He openly encourages the secular Mexican Invasion of America that his destroying our sovereignty and social fabric. He signs Ted Kennedy's education bill increasing federal control of our public schools. He's ready to break another campaign pledge by signing the perversely named and unconstitutional Campaign Finance Reform bill. Now this. I suspect if it wasn't for the war on terrorism, Rumsfeld would have resigned over this unilateral disarmament.

What else is Bush going to give away?
