An even bigger question is, "Are we using our resources in a sustainable fashion?", for which the answer is a disgustingly overweight NO. We'll kill our foodstock, overfarm our land, cut down our trees, pollute our water, and collapse long before global warming becomes a viable threat. There's just way too many people to live off what little resources we've not destroyed so far.
The idea of missile defense goes back to the 50s, but the tech wasn't goon enough then. It was revised in the 60s, and Macnamara announced I think in 68 they were starting an AMD program. Reagan started the Star Wars program in the 80s as a means to force the Soviet Union to outspend its production capability and bankrupt itself, all the while we were spending less than it looked like. He had no intention of actually putting lasers in space, etc. Turns out he was right. The Cold War arms build up bankrupted the SU. Guess he was smarter than he looked.
I was referring to the too-late too-little tepid response from Obama that failed to acknowledge that he was even a terrorist or it had anything to do with Islam, jihad, etc. The only fumble was I had to explain the joke.
No, that would be the liberal bias that refuses to see the evidence that Iraq was involved with terrorism for years against the US. Iraq was on the terrorism watch list for 20+ years. They ran Hizballah Western Sector. They had training camps all over the place. Iraq was connected to the 93 WTC bombing, the 95 OKC bombing, and probably the 98 Embassy bombings. There's tons of evidence out there if you bother to look.
Let's see... she's got a hang-up on John Doe #2, by her identified as Hussain al-Hussaini despite the fact that he is long since identified as a US soldier moving base.
Hey, don't bother posting a source for that or anything. I wouldn't want you to be held to the standard you hold me. By the way, there are multiple other sources connecting Iraq to the OKC bombing. A google search will turn up lots. Give it a shot. And Iraq was definitely connected to the 93 WTC bombing, through KSM, Ramzi Yousef, and Adbul Rahman Yasin. Is it really a stretch that Iraq would get involved in another attack using exactly the same MO?
There is no evidence linking McVeigh to anyone of interest.
Then why did the FBI cover up evidence connecting him to Hussain al-Hussaini? What about the Iraqi phone numbers found on him that were not allowed in court? How about Terry Nichols' visit to the Philippines where he met Al Qaeda and Iraqi intel agents? And how did a Bradley tanker end up making a huge bomb and detonating it the same way as the 93 WTC bombing, which BTW took a huge team of variously trained experts to pull off properly? Luck?
Bin Laden + Iran? Give me a break.
Sigh. I guess you didn't see the news in 2004 when it was revealed Iran gave support to Al Qaeda crossing its borders? Again, Iran and Bin Laden would work together against their common enemy, just like Iraq and AL Qaeda.
Again, the US "intelligence" from pre-war Iraq is worse than the Swedish "intelligence" from around 1904.
OK, some things were wrong. Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater and assume EFVERYTHING was wrong.
And once your phone never needs to be re-charged again, you'll wonder how you ever lived with something as archaic as plugging it in when it was low. Also, it may be cheap to you, but that doesn't mean it's cheap to, say, the environment. Having the population of the UK charge their devices off of coal-fired power plants instead of human generated heat isn't exactly optimal.

Then it's not really summarizing, is it? Wouldn't that be whole point of having a summary?
Not for very long.

Your sig is deliciously ironic, no?
TSA is under DHS, so you're both right.

There's porn of not logging out?
I will now get off your lawn. Thank you for not yelling at me.
Uh, whoooosh?
I didn't say the article was relevant. I just think your advice that he buy an iPhone is stupid. That's all.
Yeah, I can't imagine why the inventor of Linux didn't buy Apple's product just for multi-touch. Very insightful, Overunderated.
God forbid the scientific community should research something a samurai once said.
Oh great, so I can use all my fingers...elbows...uh, my nose...tongue?...WTF?

They've always been the Chair Force. Or the Hair Force. Or Air Farce. Take your pick.
What's with all these numbers and facts? Just make a butt joke and move along already.
No, I guess it wouldn't, would it?
Someone had to say it though.
I was referring to the too-late too-little tepid response from Obama that failed to acknowledge that he was even a terrorist or it had anything to do with Islam, jihad, etc. The only fumble was I had to explain the joke.
I'm sure we'll respond with the same resolute and determined stance as we did with the Christmas Day Bomber.
That's because you don't understand Chaos theory, and that weather is inherently unpredictable.
I must be new here.

Hey thanks, Kilgore. Way to out yourself as an AC troll.
