I'm trying to decide if Subby really is dumb enough to think Grad rockets are exactly the same as ICBMs.

xynix: With the huge amount of money being pumped into globe destroying weapons in the 80s and shiatty accountability it would be easy to scrape off .1% and it never be noticed. I'm not a tin hat guy by any means but we ARE talking about Reagan and later Cheney.

Indeed - why waste money that could be better spent on nun-raping murderers?

I don't recall.

Even the modern version didn't work.

naughtyrev: Let me know when they start shooting down rockets with space based lasers.

Done in one.

SUBBY = IDIOT

Didn't the "Star Wars" defense system actually fail in "Star Wars"?

"We count thirty Rebel ships, Lord Vader, but they're so small they're evading our turbolasers."

I am curious how the Iron Dome might compare, or be aided by, Phalanx or more modern CIWS.

At $30K per Tamir missile, and an inability to counter rockets that are too close, I wonder if a Phalanx system could be quickly set up to help out.

Difficulty: Israelis may not be interested in having Phalanx rounds falling down on them?

Also, subby is an idiot.

Iron Dome theory is not the same as the Star Wars project.

/And the iron dome doesn't catch all the missiles anyway.

Oh goody. I have no doubt that this will finally be the weapon to end all wars. There's no way technology could be designed to easily evade such defenses, if they were deployed. We'll be safe forever.

Let's say this happens: They start doing massive rocket attacks, like, 100/200 rockets per minute, like if they were using dozens of Katyusha rocket launchers . How many would enter Israeli space?.

 

xynix: Also, we don't know that the Starwars Program was ever scrapped. With the huge amount of money being pumped into globe destroying weapons in the 80s and shiatty accountability it would be easy to scrape off .1% and it never be noticed. I'm not a tin hat guy by any means but we ARE talking about Reagan and later Cheney.

When Bush Jr took office in 2001, they made missile defense a huge priority.

Fighting terrorism was was removed entirely the priority list.

I guess when they were told "Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US" they assumed he would be lobbing ICBMs over Alaska.

I remember that Han shot first, and that Reagan had Alzheimer's.

Guess how I know subby is an idiot? Why, yes, it does have something to do with him having no idea what he's talking about.

Silly question, but where do these 2 colliding rockets land crash into the ground?

Not an ICBM.

The arguments against SDI were always..... less than convincing. I think a lot of people just didn't want it because Reagan wanted it.

Barfmaker: Did anyone mention that this has nothing to do with Star Wars and everything to do with the Patriot missile system?

I don't think so. Maybe you should mention it

Marcus Aurelius: Theater level missile defense is not the same as shooting down a real ICBM, subby.

sure, when you criticized star wars, you weren't criticizing all missile defense, you weren't attacking missile defense, just intercontinental, right? and when intercontinental becomes effective at shooting down ICBMs, you'll really just have been criticizing the pictures with lasers in space.
sure, I'll buy that.
no, you idiots were saying everything was impossible, even the shiat that was working in the 1960s. it was part of the everything Reagan does is stupid and evil because he kicked our ass plan, including the shiat that works effectively and you'd support if a democrat did it.

furiousxgeorge: Not an ICBM. 



Take this you dirty Jews!!!11!

Dalrint: he iron dome doesn't catch all the missiles anyway.

god damn waste of money. bloated government.
secede already!

Zombie Reagan approves...
Don't forget he single handily crushed the Evil Empire also!
