The weapon would use a precision guidance system to home in on the target, it said." |

We could have used our technologies to get ourselves off of gas and oil a long time ago, brought clean water to many nations, and developed cost effective medicines.

Quoting: iamalive 1265054 I hope you are right. If it can then i'd think Russia and China would be shaking in their boots over this. It could motivate them to strike before this weapon system becomes fully operational. |

This weapon, from the diagram i saw, can carry a payload as well. Imagine a nuclear tip on this thing. Would this not upset the current 'balance of power.' You know that old, old American technology called the tomahawk missile? Those were designed for nuclear payloads. The ones they fly through your window.... Our skunk works or should I say black ops department is about a hundred years or more ahead of most nations. 1958 we built a plane, SR-71 that flies three miles per second for extended amounts of time. It prevented Israel and Egypt from going to war a few moons ago. My point is, what we have is not in the realm of belief. |

Of course, people have themselves a little to blame too with spending more than they earn. We need a financial system where the 'money' has some sort of intrinsic value. So many problems... |

So, why is the Pentagon putting out this info now? Are we still showing that 'big stick'? I wonder if our military is what is really backing the usa dollar. "Buy our treasuries because we have better weapons" type of mentality! |
