    No but they could create havoc in South Korea and we have a defense treaty with them and US troops there.

    They have enough cannon pointed at Seoul to make it disappear in the first round.

    May I humbly suggest that if you have information that someone (such as one who has been 'banned') is 'breaking the rules' by re-registering under another name, that you bring this to the attention of the Baptist Board 'brass' as opposed to simply making a charge, such as this.

    I knew from the thread on Spurgeon's depression that we had a number of learned medical doctors on the Forum, now I see we have a psychoanalyst on the forum. And him from Kentuck at that!

    Then don't accuse a member on the Board, please, for that is a personal attack of another Baptist Board member.

    Incidentally, I do not even have any idea to whom you specifically happen to have been referring, since you did not identify the individual you were directing the comment to, nor do I even care. :(

    The principle is the same, and I defend all BB posters the same way, FTR.

    Apparently, the "BRASS" disagree with you. The poster has been banned, and rightly so. I was right. It wasn't an accusation, it was a statement of fact.

    I find that hard to believe. But even if it is true, the poster in which I was referring to knew who they were.

    This cannot be true, as you didn't defend anyone against the attacks perpetrated by the poster in question.

    Have a great day, Ed.

    I wouldn't be so quick to blame all liberals for a display of weakness.

    Under FDR we became the military might of the world.

    Truman - Remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

    JFK - Remember Nikita and his shoe pounding?

    Of course JFK did lie about the Missile Gap! And FDR used WWII to end the Depression.

    Rather than declare a pre-emptive surrender to Russia's arms build up In Cuba, JFK called Nikita Kruschev's bluff:

    From :Daily News New York October 23, 1962
    Found online in the public domain at http://mitchellarchives.com/the-cuban-missile-crisis-blockade.htm

    BTW, I was in the USAF (Strategic Air Command Base in NY) in 1962 and was ordered to prepare to be deployed to Cuba for an all-out war.
    It never happened, Nikita backed down and turned the ships around.

    Even if that were true - GOOD FOR HIM!

    No, I am not a liberal, although I have a few liberal leanings, I am a staunch pro-life independent voting for both sides of the aisle (pro-life only).

    Yes! I remember it vividly. However, it has never been adequately explained why the entire Pacific fleet of Battleships was tied up in Pearl Harbor even though we had broken the Japanese code.

    If JFK had not chickened out at the Bay of Pigs there would have been no missiles in Cuba!

    Again, you didn't read my statement, the question is do we just spend on defense for the sake of spending on defense or do we buy things we can use or need?

    If we currently have the means of taking out any missile threat, what does more spending get us? And is it smart to spend the money in a recession when the deficit is out of control?

    Obama also cut the new fleet of WH helicopters? Don't you support that cut or do you think we need those just because Bush ordered them?

    Here is the deal, we can run like headless chickens and buy everything that has the name defense or weapon or we can look at current and future threats from around the world and focus our resources on protecting us from those threats. So to say defense had to be rebuilt is to say we were somehow in jeopardy of attack or something. That has never been the case.

    Just trying to get you to be practical OR. We all know how the government works, any dollar spent on a missile today won't produce an actual missile for years. The defense of AK today is from money Bush spent years ago.

    The conservatives also failed to acknowledge next years budget actually has an increase in defense spending not a cut. The difference is Obama included funding for the wars where as Bush always presented the wars as emergency spending so his budget would appear deficit friendly.

    I agree, I think it was the attempt to pass the proximity of Russia to AK as foreign policy experience that made the joke carry water. Had she of not tried to pull that one on us I don't think we'd of gotten mileage from the seeing AK joke.

    I noticed she is using her passport a lot seeing her son and visiting AK guard over seas. She will probably make a speech on foreign soil like Obama. It didn't work for Obama so I don't think it will work for her. Foreign policy was a thorn in Obama side all through the elections and it would have been a closer contest if it not have been for the economic implosion.

    Dumb question with no foundation.

    Every liberal admin in recent history tears down our missle defenses. And it is your leader that is creating the out of control deficit built on no prior viewing of these bills before they are brought to a vote.

    Not relevant.

    Of course right up to 9/11

    No, valid question. The GOP constantly buy weapons and make contracts with things we don't need or weapon's we never use. Mostly because the industry or manufacturing plants are in the district. This is not to say the Dem's don't do the same, Barney has a lot of contracts in his district. My point is at one point in time someone needs to look at all these contracts line by line and see what we're really buying and decide if it is really needed. That is what Obama is doing.

    I know these cuts are painful because it is often the only industry for entire towns and communities. However, Government spending is out of control so some of these cuts are really necessary.

    It just a matter of principle Rev, it's a matter of reference as to how many missiles are enough. Do we need enough to destroy half the world or do we need enough to destroy all of mankind. Look at the billions we spent to build missiles only to dismantle them after a new treaty. All th while we have people starving and sleeping out on the streets and others say taxes are too high. At one point we have to decide when enough bombs is enough bombs.

    Very relevant, it shows his commitment to cutting waste even when it involves his presidential fleet. Give credit where credit is due.

    I don't believe you went there. You want systems that will start shooting public transportation out of the sky? Once we knew what was happening we had plenty of fighters in the sky that could have shot down any other threats. We can spend billions upon billions and still have no means to stop a consumer plane from flying into a building. And the only absolute solution would cost us no money, just ground all the planes.
