Funding for the Mint didn't help either. Nor did funding for the White House janitorial staff.
Things are supposed to do what they are designed to do, and your examples are prime examples of the non sequitur you keep calling other people on.
The so called missile shield is supposed to stop potential nuclear, or other missile attacks on the United States.
Tuesday's events showed a determined foe doesn't need a missile to launch an attack. In other words, this missile shield has so many holes in it that sea sponges are jealous.
The missile shield, the Maginot Line of American policy, is usless.

No, it's not, because it will stop missiles. I consider that a very good and worthy use. How 'bout you?

Yes, and that's exactly why I used them as examples. It's called "sarcasm".

*gasp*
He DOESN'T? You mean there are other ways to attack someone BESIDES NUCLEAR MISSILES??? No kidding, Jay. A missile shield is designed to stop missiles. Nothing else. This incident has nothing to do with missiles, and is thus not related to the concept of a missile shield.

I tried to be reasonable and present something calmly. Too bad it's such a hot button issue.
Take the rest of the SDI stuff to the Flameboard.
