On the one hand I'd love to see us shoot down their missile.
On the other, we'd be a laughingstock if it misses.
So the question for the president is, what is the probability of success, and are you a risk taker?
Of course I don't know about the first, but we know he's a risk taker.
Tom sounds like you do not have trust in our technology.
I have an answer for both of my fav. guys.
1. If we do not take this down, we can see where we are flawed and fix it. Quickly! lol.
2. Tom may have been listening to people whom appear to be sensible. I would not. Look at their records! Tom is NOT someone who does not have neither faith nor trust! lol. After all, he served as well. :)
How are you guys doing? Well, I pray! I'm fine. I just wish we could crush this little nuisance who is covering for the 9,000,000,000 ton elephant in the middle of the room which is CHINA. Our enemy.
