| BMD Watch: Europeans want BMD too (while bashing the US) |
| 2005-09-14 |
| Many of Europe's governments may be skeptical about America's ambitious ballistic missile defense development program but their publics are not, A new sponsored by advocates of BMD found that more than two-thirds of Europeans want NATO to deploy such systems to protect them. Some 71 percent of Europeans favor the deployment of a NATO missile defense capability able to protect the continent from attack by missiles bearing weapons of mass destruction, according to a poll that was jointly sponsored by the George C. Marshall Center for Security Studies and Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance, the two organizations announced in Rome last week. By contrast, only 16 percent think that NATO should not have this capability. |

| #9 Aranging? Heck I thought it was a done deal. A deal done by the EU it's self, by the way. Let France and Germany defend them. If we did it we would be accused of an "illegal war" after all. We can't have that now can we. |

| #8 "Hold this umbrella over my head while I piss on your leg." I believe that my man Donald H. Rumsfeld is arranging for that umbrella to become a martini parasol even as we speak. |

| #7 #6 The real question is which would you rather have: BMD or Welfare State? They want both, of course, as long as we're paying--and they reserve the right to call us "warmongers" while they're at it. The European philosophy toward America is "Hold this umbrella over my head while I piss on your leg." |

| #6 The real question is which would you rather have: BMD or Welfare State? Then we'll see where those priorities lie. |

| #5 How about this, you help Iran with getting nukes, you get no BMD. Live with your own consiquences for once in your pitiful lives. We might shoot down an incoming nuke aimed at you, if we feel like it...and it isn't 3am. |

| #4 In Britain the people also favor the death penalty and gun ownership. Their leaders don't. Don't know if this carries over to the rest of Europe. (Though gun ownership does not appear to be a problem in Switzerland). |

| #3 Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance poll finds that people support missile defense...zzz...in other news, Milk Council announces poll saying that people should drink more milk. I wish the press wouldn't report obviously slanted stories like this one. |
