When Obama stands there with his feeble limp wristed style to swoon the
stupid liberals into believing all is good and no harm will come to
them. It makes one wonder about the safety for the country as well as
when Obama is actually going to do anything concerning the
Troops in Afghanistan.
Iran has put out there to the world that they will not go by the
rules, regulations and sanctions
that were instituted to make it “safe” for what they are doing with the
yellow cake uranium. They are doing it their way no matter who says
what. There is no cooperation with this country and it seems that it
was shown via Cheney and others in the Joint Chiefs of Staff that it
was never going to happen. And
Obama sits there looking like a complete failure concerning being bullied by Iran.
Now with this said, here is a new shocker. I mentioned that
Alaska has a missile shield
for the United States that would protect the West Coast and in some
cases could protest the East Coast as Alaska is high on the hemisphere
and could react if something does turn around. Well in the news
recently, there is a new item on the table to complete the missile
defense fund at
Ft. Greely BUT on condition of:
Sen. Mark Begich, a Democrat, appealed to the Senate Armed
ServicesCommittee in June to maintain money to expand the ground-based
missile defense system, saying it's not just about North Korea but also
about shooting down missiles launched by Iran. In a news release
Tuesday, Begich said the plan is "a welcome decision that will decrease
the risk of the ever-evolving ballistic missile threats from rogue
nations by increasing capacity required to defend the United States."
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a Republican, was less enthusiastic about the
decision in an e-mailed statement to the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner,
noting that the completion of Missile Field 2 comes with plans to
decommission another missile field at the base, about 100 miles south
of Fairbanks. "I remain unconvinced that abandonment of the Bush
administration's plan, previously supported by Secretary Gates, is the
right thing to do from a national security perspective," Murkowski said.
So we can have all the missiles that were slated for us under the Bush
administration concerning overall protection, BUT, we have to dismantle
Missile Field 1, to get the missiles for Missile Field 2 at
Ft. Greely.
Does anyone else think this sound right? Especially since the Missile
Field 1 was ONLY made in 2003/2004. Umm can we say waste of Government
funds.
Sarah Palin, you were right. It is unfortunate that it has to come to this.
