Excuse me, but you're taking all that right-wing fantasy a little too
seriously. Are these the ICBM's that Clinton sold them targeting
computers for?

But then, you don't even understand why they call it "rocket science" do
you?



... I remember the days when you at least put up a decent fight.

You can't remember to tie your shoes in the morning, that's why your
mommy has to help you.

Fact- a scary scary web page about Chinese missiles does not prove that
the Iranians will have one within our lifetimes.

Fact- a much more realistic threat is a nuke smuggled in across our border

China is selling them the technology.

If that is the case, then once again I ask you, why hasn't the Idiot Known
As Bush invaded Chine?

Here's your answer:

We'd get our asses whipped. Again.


I have no doubt that we'd win a conflict with *any* country in the World.
However, our casualty rate in a war against a country like China would be in
the hundreds of thousands. With casualties that high, our leaders would
most likely employ nukes...raising the death toll on each side into the tens
of millions ( in China's case, probably into the hundreds of millions).
That's why we haven't invaded China.

Nuclear weapons are the great equalizer...which is why we can't allow a
country like Iran to obtain them. The Muslim extremists who seem to be
running things these days believe that the Koran tells them that they should
strike at the infidels if their military might should become equal or
superior to ours.




We only invade dippy little countries whose military cannot fight back.

Because sooner or later those dippy little countries will get their hands on
a nuke...and at that point, they'll go looking for a fight with us.

By whom? Paranoid whacko freaks like you?

Why would anybody bother to develop a ballistic missile when they could
just about ship a nuke UPS, and President Bush would not bother to
upgrade border security to stop it?

Because we aren't the only target on their agenda?

A missile can be too easily backtracked. The best way to do great harm
to two enemies with one blow would be to smuggle a missile into an enemy
territory and launch it at the United States.

OTOH that might be a lot of extra work. The perpetrator of the worst
terrorist attack against the U.S. (or anybody else) in history is still
walking free.

With that result alone, it would be worth considering, since Wal-Mart
does more damage to the United States than all the Moslem terrorists put
together.


In what way?

It isn't unionized and therefore doesn't support union officials. It
also provides goods to those who can't afford to buy the same thing at
Macy's for half again as much.

I personally hate to shop at WalMart, but will do so on occasion.
WalMart has the cheapest 40lb bags of black oil sunflower seeds in the
area. My birds love them.

I just bought my wife a notebook computer from Walmart for $648. For
another $40, I got a 3 year extended warranty. It has a1.2 GHz AMD Athlon 4
processor, 256k RAM, DVD/CD/RW, 40 gig HD, and built-in Wi-Fi.

She got it primarily to wirelessly surf the web, download music to burn to a
CD, and to do light word-processing work. It's a nice little notebook. The
only negatives are that the fan seems a bit louder than on my Compaq, and
the battery life is about 50% less (I have a Centrino processor).

Given Wal-Mart's liberal return policy, and the fact that a 3-year extended
warranty is only $40, I figured that I can't go wrong should the thing crap
out in a year or two.
