The politics of fear have got you pissing in your pants. Manhattan, which received over 95% of the devastation on 9/11, voted 85% for Obama. They haven’t fell for the propaganda spouted by fear mongers like you did.

Dow up 248 Thursday. According to your reasoning, it’s to Obama’s credit.

Thanks for your reply to my questions.

“I (Russian leader) will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls (without walls. this indicates to us when the attack may take place. Israel currently has a wall around it’s cities the Arabs and the U.N. is trying to take down), and having neither bars nor gates, To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations (the Jews returned to Israel from out of the nations in 1948), which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. And thou shalt come from thy place out of the NORTH PARTS, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:” Ezekiel 38:8-12

Notice the country that attacks Israel will come from out of the North. Where it says “out of the NORTH PARTS…a mighty army.” Drawing a straight line north of Jerusalem on the map almost hits Moscow!

At present it is still Bush in the Whitehouse.

yeah it was just a ‘coincidence’ that the russians did that on the day after obama won…just as the market drop was a ‘coincidence’

Obama equivocated when russia invaded georgia…Putin heard that…he knows the score…and everyone else, apparently except you, does too.

Hopefully he will dealing with it. I think Obama is smart in waiting for Bushes blessing before uttering a word. He’s not a candidate anymore.

I won’t defend Obama. I only predict his actions. The beauty of it is i didn’t vote him in. If he succeeds we all win if he fails we’ll get a GOP victory in 4 years. I want every president to succeed on foreign affairs. I don’t care about the party. Domestic issues are different. Obama will either move to the center or be a one termer.

Whacha gonna do pencil neck blue devils, when PUTIN and the boyz run wild on YOU??

answer: bend over and take it.

Too funny. Do you think Obama would take any of that? I think the Russians and Chinese are too afraid to take the chance. Obama may not be the softy you think he is. My guess is he will pass his test with the American flag held high.

you need to take the tin-foil off, and get back on your meds…

The Russians moved Iskander missiles next to Poland the day after your new bi-racial messiah was elected…did he utter a peep?? NO of course not. no condemnation, didn’t wave his holy hands and make the russians remove missiles now did he??

ameriKKKa’s chickens coming home to roost!!

Its a prediction. Don’t get so excited ;) I predicted it’s how the WORLD will view him. Your preditions are pretty cool. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Have fun with it. Lay off the books for a few hours and have a tall cool one. Then come back and re-read it.

Have a great day!

One can interpret that in two different ways: either Obama’s response would anger his supporters, or it would anger everyone else.

I agree with Victor Davis Hanson. It’ll anger everyone else.

I predict that President-Elect Obama will come to be known as Bush the 3rd worldwide. Wait until he gives his inaugarul speech. He’ll have those ruskies shaking in their boots. He may turn out to be another Reagan once he moves to the center. He knows no one can govern from the left and be re-elected. You better believe his re-election campaign started on 11/5/08

kanda on November 7, 2008 at 8:23 AM

You must be kidding… if not, if in fact you’re serious, then your flaunting disconnect from reality might actually be diagnostic of delusional disorder (I say this with all due respect, and as a graduate student in clinical psychology).

To suggest that Obama is going to be Bush III, and the world will come to fear him from one single speech is nothing short of absurd. Please understand that Obama is beholden to the left wing of the left wing portion of the leftist Democractic party. His entire claim to fame was borne out of the anti-war movement! You actually think Obama will order military strikes on anyone without retribution from Moveone.org etc…?

Here’s my prediction: There will be no military action, whatsoever, in the Obama presidency. There’s no way Republicans will gather behind him, not after he denounced Bush’s efforts in Iraq so vehemently, nor will the Democratic be in favor of military strikes on anyone.

Since you are familiar with the system and claim it can’t catch up to an ICBM, I see your point.

I’m I correct to assume the system can’t intercept upon re-entry? That an ICBM travels at max velocity, once it achieves it, all the way to the target? Do Trident-II missiles work this way too?

If Iran were to shoot a missile at the US, it would pass over eastern Europe, then over the extreme north Atlantic, then along the east coast of the US (exact path would depend on the target). We don’t have land-based defensive missiles along the East Coast, although we do have ship-based defensive missiles along the East Coast. The defensive missiles in eastern Europe would be a first-line defense, and if they failed to hit the target, the ship-based missiles would be the second line of defense.

The land-based defensive missiles would also be in the path if Russia attacked Europe.

We also have land-based defensive missiles in Alaska, which would be in the path of an attack by North Korea, Russia, or China on the American West Coast. In such an event, the President would receive the warning from Sarah Palin.

Joe Biden warned us that Obama would be tested by an international crisis, but voters didn’t heed his warning. Since Obama is probably clueless on foreign policy outside of Kenya, we’ve got to pray that Scranton Joe has both hands on his puppet’s strings.

Good times… good times!

interesting..just more change we can believe in!!!

but I’m a big believer in reaping what you sew…I would encourage any in the military to get out if they can.

let the blue devils defend their country.

kanda on November 7, 2008 at 8:23 AM

Surely you jest!!

oh yeah I bet POOTY POOT will be shaking in his BOOTY BOOTS!! right.

Putin knows a punk when he sees one. Ukraine, poland the rest of those countries will probably seek a rapprochement with the Bear…recognizing the new world order same with taiwan and china…

and if these countries don’t get with hope and change russia will invade the ukraine, and china will take tawain…

and all obama will do is say uhhhh ummmmm

now thats change we can believe in!!

One question I have always had is why the missiles were deployed in Poland. Wouldn’t Turkey have been a better site to catch the missiles in the boost phase? In addition such a forward deployment would have allowed an intercept of Iranian missiles directed towards other targets (not Israel as I believe those would have a sub-orbital trajectory).

sharrukin on November 7, 2008 at 3:19 AM

You are correct in identifying the preferred stage to engage ballistic missiles — boost phase. They’ve got their engines throttled up, their heat signature is HUGE, and they haven’t had a chance to deploy their warheads/countermeasures. It is by far the best time to take them down. BUT … it only lasts 3 minutes.

The next phase — midcourse — is the one the Ground-Based Interceptors (GBIs) planned for Poland (and currently depolyed in Alaska and California) and the Navy’s Aegis ships address. It’s the longest phase of ballistic flight, lasting 20+ minutes, so we have more “battlespace” for multiple engagements.

The last phase is terminal phase. The warhead is falling back to Earth toward its target, and will reach it in less than a minute. This is where the famous Patriot and less-famous (but much more advanced) THAAD interceptors engage.

We are developing solutions for every phase of flight and they are layered together.

So while boost engagement is ideal, focusing on the midcourse offers significant advantages as well — more time, more shots, and security of rear-based assets instead of having them forward-based in a (now) very, VERY hot war. Remember, the enemy just took a huge gamble shooting an ICBM at the US; they’ll surely be attacking every US asset they can, especially in-range defensive assets.

Obama’s “test”. Here’s what will happen

Holy hell, all us 64+ plus guys will be called up. I used to speak Chinese, but I wouldn’t know one tone from another after 40 or so years. My Chinese wife even refuses to talk with me.

Colombian Vice-President Francisco Santos said during a visit to Russia in June that his country wants to buy fighter and transport helicopters and radar systems as it broadens its sources of defence equipment.

All this from October. Looks like a lot of countries are starting to reach an accommodation with the new landlord.

I remember what it was like when Jimmy Carter was in the White House.

Ida Amin holding US hostages…Carter did nothing.
The Canal Zone handed over to Panama.
The fall of the Shah of Iran to the Ayatollah.
Starved the military for funds and spare parts.
Russians in Afghanistan.
Cancelled the B-1 bomber
Gutted the CIA
Cut off all military assistance to Nicaragua
Cut off aid to El Salvador
Afghanistan, Ethiopia, South Yemen, Angola, Cambodia, Mozambique, Grenada and Nicaragua all fell to communism on his watch.

Good times… good times!
Obama will probably be worse.

One question I have always had is why the missiles were deployed in Poland. Wouldn’t Turkey have been a better site to catch the missiles in the boost phase?

Try reading some news instead of looking at numbers and spouting BS.

Chimpy on November 6, 2008 at 6:23 PM

Hmmmm,I’m seeing a trend to your posts.

Assholery in and of itself is not amusing. Please try peppering in a few zingers for us lowly readers.

We’re all laughing at your superior intellect.
