So much for the treaty, the ABM’s apparently are not on the table.

So they agreed to remove one bullet from the revolver ,heck I feel a lot safer now.

rfidler:  You’re fun, too—sort of.  The reason you don’t “get” what I say is that you are too literal.  You probably despise poetry, and the words “symbol”’ and “metaphor” aren’t in your vocabulary.  That’s okay.  It takes all kinds.  I’m just glad you read me and bother to write back. There’s hope.

gerard:
“Like NASA “raping” the moon last October, or whenever it was. I wrote them a polite letter about it, but of course they never answered.”

Here’s the thing. NASA, unlike truthdig, is a mature, serious, adult organization. How does one “rape” the moon? And why would NASA waste one breath on responding to someone who thinks in terms like that?

The reason I’m responding is because you’re so much fun to make fun of, and I have a lot of free time.

Catch up Mr. Henry.  One of Pres. Obama’s first positive acts was to stop the deployment of the ABMs to Poland.  That is why he is able to start arms reduction talks with Russia now.

Darth Cheney and the axis of evil were intent on restarting an arms race with Russia so they could pour $Trillions into updating our nuclear arsenal for the defense industry.

If Pres. Obama acheives nothing else during his tenure because the Republicants destroy the Congressional process, he has still been a success.  He has stood us down from the edge of nuclear agreession and set the nuclear war clock back to preBush levels.

P.S.  Am I the only one who “gets” the implications of a gigantic missile painted pink? But don’t let this comment push the reset button on the entire string. It’s just that the whole military thng is so-o-o-o revealing.  Like NASA “raping” the moon last October, or whenever it was. I wrote them a polite letter about it, but of course they never answered; just removed it from the online site. Censored!

I must grudgingly applaude this step. We need nukes, but not thousands of them.

And by the way, PatHenry, the ABMs are on the table.

How’s about forcing Israel to reduce its arsenal of nukes? Hey Barack, want to be ambitious? Why not lift the embargo on Cuba?

Now if we can get Obama to cancel those ABM missiles along Russia’s border which pisses off Russia the most.

One more small step for mankind, womankind, and most of all childkind!
