Here we go again

God, these people love missile defense programs! What is it, some kind of phallic obsession or something? Or maybe the fact that the defense industry has some sort of influence on the Republicans?

Bush also spoke of his administration's proposal for an anti-missile defense system, noting that Boeing was a major contractor on the project.

"I think those who oppose this ballistic missile system don't understand the threats of the 21st century," the president told applauding workers.

The president noted that last month Boeing engineers loaded the first missile interceptor into a silo in Alaska. He characterized that as the beginning of a national shield "that was envisioned by Ronald Reagan."

Bush said opponents of the system are "living in the past. We're living in the future. We're going to do what's necessary to protect this country."

"Living in the past"....this from the people that are still slobbering over Reagan's Star Wars program. It's like some Holy Grail for these people, or maybe for the defense contractors.
