India Debating Manned Space Flight

alphakappa writes "India's moon mission and other space programs have been covered before on Slashdot. India is now debating sending a manned space mission and has acknowledged it's technological preparedness to do so in the next 6-7 years if given the go-ahead. The issues being debated before starting work on the mission include cost-benefit and other space priorities. (These missions also play host to international experiments) What does the general slashdot crowd think of these space plans?"

We have found Iraq's WMD program. It was extensive. It was idled pending lifting of the sanctions. What we did not find were large quantities of WMD. According to liberals, Sarin gas is not a WMD find unless it can kill more than 40,000 people, so the Sarin we have found doesn't qualify.

Also, according to liberals, Iraq's massive stockpiling of chemical warfare suits was just the popular Iraqi army fashion at the time of the invasion.

How would it be if one would say America = "duh"?

To the rest fo the world, that statement seems very correct. You re-elected the same leader that brought economic decay and needless war.

It was, as you say, "idling", NOT AN IMMINENT THREAT!

Exactly. Are you trying to make a point? Bush made it very clear he wanted to take Iraq out BEFORE they became an imminent threat. Which part of his State of the Union speech where he explicitly said that did you not understand?

Wikipedia is probably the most unreliable source for information you can find. Try looking something up in a reputable source, instead.
