#4 Nope. Missile defense is impossible and unworkable. If we have to slash the budget to prove it, so be it.

#5 It used to be the Dhimmis would oppose any weapon system on the grounds that we would only be provoking our foes. Now they have abandoned even this kindergarten logic and oppose without knowing why they do so.

#7 They know why they oppose it. Defense cuts into the slush funds for buying votes back home. The Trunks try using ~~graft/pork~~ that approach and get heat. The Donks do it regularly and get votes. Guess who controls Congress?

#8 US budget cuts may delay US anti-missile laser but we aren't the only player in the field. If Fwance or Israel or India come up with something I'm sure we could make a deal, but we might not like that price, and I would certainly not trust that I received a 'clean' product.
