Obama steals Reagan's idea?

[Stinson]

Other critics charged the system — with a price tag estimated at $4 billion — was too expensive, faced daunting technological challenges and was aimed against a threat that is still years away from materializing.

While the interceptor missiles did destroy their targets in some tests, others failed.

Yeah! This sounds exactly like something Bush would have pushed through anyway, just because it sounds frickin' awesome to have a mega cool anti missile system. I bet half of the American population would think the same *even knowing* it might not work properly. But, like so many things, this would simply have been ignored.

You like links, don't you?

Nothing ever happens without a link.
You have a proclivity for posting "facts" based on unreliable hearsay and chain E.mails, so when you say something is happening I am not inclined to take your word for it.

What has that got to do with Regan's idea? It's a year old story about President Obama scrapping President Bush's plan, utilizing existing proven technology and hardware and focusing the location against a different region and type of missile.

Obviously, it has nothing to do with Star Wars but why pass up an opportunity to dis Obama?

You mean to say you don't trust me?

If recognizing consistency counts as "trust", then, yes.
