[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay the Obscure: [QB] Well, the pronouncement has been made...by who of all people, Omega. Golly gee Wally, I'd [i]better[/i] stop. Yeah right. [QUOTE]Swiss cheese? Wherever did you get that idea? What, do you think we can build a thousand ICBM's and warheads but not two thousand warhead-killers? Is there any logic to that statement at all? OR, do you mean because smugglers could maybe still bring in a nuclear warhead under the radar? SURE, but they can do THAT under your No-action plan, as WELL as launching them. Removing PART of the threat is preferable to removing NONE of it.[/QUOTE] Ok, let's use the Ruskies here. They are evil bastards and we don't like them. They are evil enough to launch a first strike because they hate Wisconsin cheese. Now, under the addle brained and very large costing, we can't guarantee the shooting down of all missile defense program, let's say 2 MIRVs out of 10 get in. Hey, look ma, we shot down 80%. And yet, let's just say that each of those MIRV's carries 10 warheads a piece. Well, hot damn, Los Angeles is gone. You lame-brained Strategic Dumbass Initiative types think to yourselves, okilly dokily, we done shot down 80-90% of the missiles like that is something to get EXCITED ABOUT! Wake up and smell the charred bodies. Put yourself in military shoes for a second. What is the first thing you would do as commanding General of Country A if your long time enemy and reason you built up your nuclear stockpile for in the first place, Country B has... <ul> [*] Kept their nuclear stockpile and along with it a first strike capability. [*] Built a shield that wasn't 100% effective</ul> Here is a list of things that would happen then: <ul> [*] Country A would build a hell of a lot more missiles just to be sure that a number gets through the less than 100% shield. [*] Coutry B builds both more missiles, to respond to Country A's buildup, and builds a whole lot of anti-missile missles. [*] Country A figures out a way to deliver a nuclear payload to a target in Country B without using ICBM technology. [*] Country B now has a very expensive and outdated system that did nothing but ratchet up nuclear stockpiles and bring back Cold War tensions. [*] We are back to square one. If Country A launches on Country B, then Country B launches on Country A and the whole thing is thrown into a cocked hat. In a word, MAD. </ul> [/QB][/QUOTE]
