I predict that Israel will be striking Iran within the year.

I believe that will happen, as soon as Israel, feels Iran is ready to fire…they have no choice, they have no more friends…it’s a fight to the death for the Israelis, thank to that spineless, pinko, American hating Great Impostor.

Reread my comment carefully.

Flyoverman, aren’t you a tad bit surprised that zyzzgy and the other liberals on here aren’t claiming that missile defense is a Reagan fantasy which will never work?

Clearly this merely asks Flyoverman if he was surprised that missile defense wasn’t being called a Reagan fantasy (by you or by others).

Now, my next comment was;

zyzzgy’s criticism of the placements demonstrate considerable progress with respect to the liberal psyche.

This merely states that your current criticism should be considered progress compared to the previous claims which were typical of liberals (that missile defense was a pipe dream).

All you got is that I did imply that YOU were a liberal.

I don’t blame you for hating that label. So feel free to disassociate yourself from it via the content of your future comments.

It is about reading comprehension. I challenged another poster for calling me a liberal. And, yes that is offensive.

Reading comprehension is also a function of reading your own statements. In one single sentence by another poster it was suggested that I was liberal and that liberals thought the missile defense system was a fantasy and would never work. Yet, the same poster, now claims that they did not say that I thought the missile defense systems was a fantasy and would never work.

It is called reading comprehension. Reading comprehension of other’s posts, and your own posts.

Then an accusation is thrown out, that I might be hypocritical. OK, . . . then provide some details. Back it up.

I am prepared to accept acknowledgement that other posters have made mis-representations or, mistakes. In fact I have made them, and have accepted being corrected.

Respect is earned – Mischaracterizing the facts is no way to earn respect, casting perjoritives is no way to earn respect, and having reading comprehension is one way of earning respect.

Everyone, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to get this out.

You made several points, and I have questions.

Any conversation is good conversation.

Not placing a missile defense system in Turkey, why couldn’t that be changed? Treaties are modified all the time. Apparently we understood, and accepted, that the Russians felt unease about having our missile intercept system in Turkey. If that was the logic then, it is easy to believe the Russians would expect to be equally uneasy with the missile intercept system in Poland, the Czeck Republic, etc.

A missile system in Western Europe to defend against Iran does not sound as effective because of the distance any rocket will travel before it is actually intercepted.

Yes, Western Europe had thier reasons for not supporting our actions in Iraq, but the failure here is to understand that the missile system is meant to deal with Iran. That, unfortunately, is short sightedness on their part.

OK, I accept your suggested reason for placing the missile system in Poland, though I still remain skeptical of it’s effectiveness so far away from Iran.
