OT: Canada Agrees to be Missile Target

So every political statement that our prime minister makes has to be enforced with a point of a gun? "Yeah, lets shoot a round over their bow to see if they are friendly"

Korea is not your problem. It is you WANT for an enemy that is the problem.

I see that you are cooking with wine again Jim.

Actually there is little in Toronto worth the cost of a nuclear warhead. Still, we already know that these ragheaded desert rats can't comprehend simply logic. After all, the dumb bastards just blew up 120 or so of their brethren in Bagdad yesterday, so go figure.

My simple solution would be to put out a little bait for these terrorist, and once they have congregated in mass, nuke the whole place. We missed our golden opportunity to do this with Fallujah, but other opportunities will likely surface.

I just love it when sissies try to talk tough, Martin must be French ;-)

"It is you WANT for an enemy that is the problem." I think it's YOU who are cooking with wine.

Though today is my "un-birthday", I have not yet begun to "cook" ;-)

I love to cook with wine.      Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Since a "shot down" missile would probably land on Canada those Canucks better get started on an "anti-anti-missile-missile" system.

That was my point exactly. Makes you wonder how PM Martin's brain works, if at all, by bowing out of the mutual defense agreement.

Considering the consistent failures of tests of the 'missle shield', this is probably a prudent move. No telling where some 'anti-missle' will land, or what airliner it'll decide to take out. The thing would probably do more damage when it goes out of control than some imaginary korean nuke would ever do.

Yeah, and it facinates me when Hawks talk about "Missle Defense":

*If* the Patriot has ever destroyed a booster, http://216.239.63.104/search?q=cache:SEVKodRyajAJ:'s-intercept-rate+zero-+*-average-*-three-interceptors-*-*-*-*-Scud the warhead was left intact to impact near the original target.

The only time those boys can hit something in the South Pacific is when they rig the test.

Wrong Way Corrigan's ghost may still be with us. That way the missle will destroy Lower California. Vincenti Fox will be a little pissed!! JLS

We can only hope ;-)

Not withdraw, just not actively join in, other than through NORAD. Apparently it will make no practical difference in any case.

P.M. Martin currently heads a "minority government", meaning that he has to be unusually sensitive to the wishes of the electorate. His government would likely have fallen had he tried to ram such an unpopular program through. Public opposition to participation is 3 to

2 in English Canada and 3 to 1 in Quebec. Democracy can be like that.

Maybe he sees it as publicly painting a target on his chest. Without an agreement the US and Canada can do what they want even if it is the same thing that the agreement spelled out.

Canada did not support the war in Iraq but Canadian troops went over when the US deployed its troops. I think they sent 2 boy scouts and a Jeep or in other words about 1/3 of their standing forces.

When did Alaska revert back to CANADA ! North Korea is behind Alaska, on a Great Circle Route to Seattle, San Diego, Boston, Miami and all points in between ! WE Canadians are just Co-lateral Damage

I am following Steve Fosset's Flight on my World Globe, so this is just a little side research. The old DEW line is pointed in the wrong direction, so is Colorado Springs obsolete too ! and so too the "North American Missile Defense Agreemet ! Just goes to show the quality of research being done on Missile Defence .
