A Missile Shooting Down Another Missile?
It's like an eight-foot tall Wookie livin' on a planet full o' two-foot-tall Ewoks! It just don't make sense!
Or maybe it does...
What I'd love to see in the Presidential debates is for John McCain to force Hussein Obama to explain to the American people why he plans to scrap this promising research. I'm not sure McCain would be so unpleasant as to do such a thing to a fellow senator on national TV, but it'd be cool to watch Obama squirm.
Discussion of what promising, purely-defensive research programs the aspiring Commander in Chief would consign to the scrap heap is, of course, only a "distraction from the real issues." The real issues are, of course: 1. Obama is part black; 2. We've never had a part black president before; and 3. Obama is cool and hip and gives awesome speeches. Everything else in the campaign is just a distraction from these real issues. Discussion of things like real science and the real threat of nuclear war isn't, after all, helping Michelle Obama's children. (At least, it's not helping them get into the White House playroom.)
