good :) 8chars

Cool move by Canada. :thumbsup

will you shut the fuck up already

yeah its great to see Canada finally stand up to Bush!

i can't wait to hear Bush's official "reaction" on thursday lol

Praise the lord! And :321GFY bush

Finally?

I don't remember us being a part of the "coalition of the willing".

It is, however, great to see Paul Martin stand up to Bush.

we weren't "officially" part of the coalition, but we were in iraq...

So if the Koreans nuke our ass..what are we going to do? :helpme I say we should try and help as much as we possibly can

flip-flopper.

time for that shanes world vid again
lol
Duke

What are the cons for this missile shield exactly ..? I dont see any... What are the pros..? That might one day save our ass... Whether we participate or not.. it will get done... Why not profit from it...

Maybe Mexico needs a shield! :winkwink:

Last time I heard the missile defence system has failed every test anyway. So what is Canada saying "no" to? A dysfunctional missile defence system?

the big con so far is that it doesnt work even though they've announced its operational...

excellent. so if anyone nuke you motherfuckers, you got no way to detect the hits from the north!:)

hopefully everyone will be more peacefull

Thank goodness our PM stood up to Bush ... This missile defence is nothing more than a make-work project from a government who lives by the philosophy "if we don't use the military once in awhile, people will question it's existence."

If you seriously think this latest "defence" idea is a worthwhile place to spend your tax dollars, let me ask you this:

Exactly who are you thinking is going to attack you?

This is the first time i am hearing about this missile defense policy. Interesting read though.

Unfortunately it's not designed to defend against the most realistic missile threats.

I'm curious exactly how are N.Korea and Iran(!) warships going to get "near" the US coast? Without satellites, radar, etc. etc. detecting them and a fairly kick-ass US naval fleet blowing them out of the water?

It's completely ridiculous.

Bin Laden already showed the world how you can successfully attack America - from within.

In a press briefing in 2002 Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld noted: "Countries have placed ballistic missiles in ships--dime a dozen--all over the world. At any given time, there's any number off our coasts, coming, going. On transporter-erector-launchers, they simply erect it, fire off a ballistic missile, put it down, cover it up. Their radar signature's not any different than 50 others in close proximity." Despite this acknowledgment, however, the Defense Department has no system planned for deployment that could defend against these missiles.

What the fuck do you care you're not gonna spend anything on it. The US will pay for it like it always does.

Just FYI Canada is alredy part of a missle shield because you are part of NORAD. You'll have to drop out of NORAD if you want to drop out of the missle sheild all the way.

There is the issue that building a missile defence system promotes a new arms race. With Canada being one of the leaders in promoting nuclear disarmament, a missile defence system would set back decades of work.

thats great to hear

if its suppose to be a surprise it looks like you just ruined it for george...now he knows.

Good, Canada should say no to it.

Basically the missle defence system means if there's a missile on the way to the states, they can shoot it down over canada and let it explode up here showering us with the debris and/or radioactive material.

Fuck that... The US made it's enemies, it can deal with them without dragging other countries into the mess. We don't need missiles flying over Canada, "defence" missiles or not :321GFY

Now there's a guy with a lot of credibility.

He's a part of the same administration that has spent the last 3+ years putting the fear of God into every American about the unspeakable terrors that await them.

Yes, there are a lot of terrorists out there that would love to kill Americans on their own soil but the notion that they, or N.Korea, or Iran, or anyone else is going to load up ships with missiles and sail to California is a paranoid delusion.

Mark these words: NOBODY is going to fire ballistic missiles at the US from ships - or from anywhere else - defence system or not.

And if I'm wrong, this faulty defence system doesn't appear to be too trustworthy to help anyhow.

So again, thanks PM for not giving into war-mongering Bush and his insane ideas.

love canadians ehehehe! ^_^

Hello retard...you see, we do not need NORAD or missle defense, since we do not have enemies.

to make a simple for you, we do not need a gun, cause we are not cowboys shooting indians

You're kidding me the Canada doesn't have enemies right? Bin Laden is not much happier with Canada than he is with the United States. When he offered gold bounties, Canadian's "worth" worth as much as British and Australian citizens with only American's being "worth" more.

Wether we need to take part in a missile shield is another matter though.

your sig makes me want to puke, i'm drunk

well first of all, there is no army to bounty after lmao
second of all, one chick which got caught, run away
third of all, canada is like 30% muslim, 30% asian, and 20% mix, so it is really hard to have war with Canadians, since it is the biggest multicultural country in the world!

it hurts my eyes, not drunk

That's fairly naive.

An enemy of America is pretty much an enemy of Canada.

The US and Canada are the world's two largest trading partners. They have a mutual interest in eachothers continued safety and prosperity. An attack on America would have effects on Canada, and an attack on Canada would have effects on America.

It's not soldiers that the bounty is on, it's any citizen. You, me, your family, your neighbors, you get the point.

Canada didn't participate in Iraq but we sure as fuck did in Afghanistan. You think Bin Laden and associates are down with that? In their eyes, we were making war on Islam.

Canada is not 30% muslim and 30% asian and 20% mix. I'd love to see you back that up with some facts. I think you're making those numbers up. Even if you aren't, so what? Muslims are killing Muslims in Iraq every single day.

Do Canadian's have a better world image than Americans? Absolutely! That's a damn site different than saying we have no enemies at all though.


STOP WATCHING TV.

Congratulations! You just lost all credibility by posting rediculously incorrect statistics.

Good job. :thumbsup

Sigh... so young, so naive.

Why not get involved in something that's ultimate goal is offensive nuclear weapons in space? Especially when it's the most violent, hated, imperialistic country on the face of the earth running it? The tests have already cost hundreds of billions of dollars and have been a miserable failure, but we may as well "profit" (?) from it. Especially since it may "save our ass" from all the countries who have repeatedly launched ICBMs at Canada.

Good call. :thumbsup


(learn how to read books)

ok ok maybe i was too high % on muslims...lol... but about Asians it is true!

probably way over 30% for asians lol!

You keep making that retarded statement. I don't get my news from TV, much less Fox News. You figure Bin Laden is just cool with Canada participating in Afghanistan?

You're brainwashed by television, news or not. If you want to talk about retarded statements, read your last post.

I'm offering you good advice, take it. Instead of TV, read a book a week. You'll be amazed at how much more intelligent you are in a couple years.

PS. Who said anything about Fox News?

I read closer to a book every other day. Don't pretend to know me, because you don't. You yourself come off as a cry baby liberal upset that the World just doesn't understand that you have all the answers. Oh but if the foolish would only listen! Anybody who disagrees with you is immediately stupid in your eyes. See things a little differently? Must be brain washed by television!

Let's set the record straight here. You don't have any inside sources in to the Middle East. You're not publishing insiteful academic papers on political sciences. You're just another pornographer on GFY. Climb down off that pedestal, you look foolish up there.

Warchild, where did you get this information about the "bounty" Osama Bin Laden has on our heads?

The fact that you go to sleep at night worried that Bin Laden is going to fire an intercontinental ballistic nuclear missile at Canada proves my point that you should seriously cut back on the television. I'm not trying to be hostile, just offering friendly advice. It's the great tragedy of our time that so many intelligent people are slaves to what they see as mainstream thought, as projected by television personalities.

Doctorine of preemtion. Crying "You think like that because of Fox News." is your SOP.

Incorrect. Canada would be expected to pony up substantial amounts of cash into this boondoggle. One of the main reasons why people 'in the know' don't want any part of this chikanery is that it is at its essence a way for bechtel et al to syphon several billion dollars out of our government directly into their coffers, combined with the general disdain for any plan calling for the weaponization of space.

Yes, it's impractical to remove ourselves entirely from the situation, but we sure as fuck don't have to throw our sweat and ducats to the bottomless pork barrel to chase a rediculous dream that amounts to little more than a payoff and a sense of comfort. Bechtel, Halliburton, and the rest of the blood profiteers can all run off and play hide-and-go-fuck-yourself.

Canada has enough issues with our own politicians wasting our money on stuff without having some corporate neostate trying to approrpiate more from us to feed its insatiable need for cash. :2 cents:
