1. I'd be a little more worried ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.12.12)
... about North Korea.
2. U.S. Missle Defense System
nadya ,   California, USA   (09.12.12)
If the group who wrote the report works by proxy for Congress they can't be trusted. The defense department does not want to see the budget decreasing for the military and will say anything to stop that.
3. #1: why are you more worried about north korea??
david ,   new york   (09.12.12)
4. Lockheed Martin
Trev ,   Canada   (09.12.12)
The former president of Lockheed Martin the defense contractor that would benifite with billions of dollars in contracts from an overhaul of the American missle defense system is the co-chair... Money runs Washington
5. US defense industry screwed America
EZ ,   US/Israel   (09.12.12)
The US defense industries royally screwed the American tax payers over. $200billion with nothing to show for it? That's criminal. They should take these guys to Gitmo for what they've done. Meanwhile, on a shoestring, Israel develops windbreaker & Iron Dome and contributes massively to Arrow 3. Fat, lazy, greedy and stupid idiots destroyed America. Shame.
6. The post at No. 1 is not mine.
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.12.12)
7. Iran could attack now with missles
Joe Sombrero ,   Usa   (09.12.12)
They could lunch from Venezuela medium range missles and hit the US or from a ship. Also thier cruise missles could also attack from Venezuela or a ship or sub.
8. US....Use your resources....
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (09.12.12)
....to access Israeli technology to bring you up to par
9. Don't worry America
Keith ,   Texas, USA   (09.12.12)
Israel's got you back
10. Iran's longest range missile in testing...
Aaron ,   Jerusalem   (09.12.12)
has a range of 1700 miles......The US is 7500 miles from Iran.....Who cares about missile defense if Iran isnt even testing anything that might someday be able to touch them?
11. To: No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.12.12)
Because North Korea has overtly threatened to launch. Not even the Iranians have been that stupid, although they have made it clear that the United States is a target. Either way, the pathetic and inept occupant of the White House has proven himself -- er -- pathetic and inept. The North Koreans are in the throes of yet another in a seemingly endless stream of famines. They'd love to stir the pot. Puts China squarely on the fence.
12. Oh, the post at No.1 is very definitely ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.12.12)
... mine. I guess the troll has slithered past the guards at the asylum yet again. Tsk, tsk.
13. To: Aaron at No. 10
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.12.12)
The entire United States Fifth Fleet is anchored in the Gulf. Thought you might want to know.
14. surprise!
tom ,   toronto, canada   (09.12.12)
iran already has intercontinental ballistic missiles, in the form of its satellite launch capability, that can hit anywhere in the world, including the united states. and scaling them up to carry "bigger and better" payloads (chemical, biological, or nuclear) is relatively easy. so for any fools who believe that iran is "just an israeli problem", surprise!
