Congressman Attacks Liberal ‘Backbiters’ And ‘Naysayers’ For Criticizing Failed Missile Defense
Congressman Attacks Liberal ‘Backbiters’ And ‘Naysayers’ For Criticizing Failed Missile Defense
The right wing has latched on to North Korea’s unsuccessful missile launch to renew its calls for increased funding for the Pentagon’s failed $92-billion missile defense system. Yesterday on Fox News, Rep. Dana Rohrbacher (R-CA) attacked Democratic “backbiters” and “naysayers” — including guest Rep. Bob Filner (D-CA) — for questioning the program. Watch it:
But despite Rohrbacher’s rhetoric, the U.S. missile defense system can’t — and probably never will — protect the nation against an attack. Some problems:
– The Pentagon’s Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system “hasn’t successfully intercepted a missile since October of 2002. … And the last two times it tried to hit an oncoming missile, the interceptor didn’t even leave the ground. Things have gotten so bad that the Missile Defense Agency’s independent review team concluded last year that more tests may only undermine the GMD’s value as a deterrent.”
– A recent Pentagon Inspector General report found that security vulnerabilities are so serious “that the agency and its contractor, Boeing, may not be able to prevent misuse of the system.”
– “A little-noticed study by the Government Accountability Office issued in March found that program officials were so concerned with potential flaws in the first nine interceptors now in operation that they considered taking them out of their silos and returning them to their manufacturer for ‘disassembly and remanufacture.’“

This wacko calls other grown adults names like a child. here one for you Dana. Isnt Dana a girls name. Dana is a girls name! Dana is a girls name! Nanny nanny boo boo!!!
July 5th, 2006 at 2:13 pmRohrbacher is one of the dumbest members in the US Congress > he must be voted out of office or be forced to resign for criminal stupidity!
July 5th, 2006 at 2:15 pm#2 - If stupidity were criminal, we wouldn’t have very members of our (s)elected officials that could serve.
Unfortunately, the typical Republican strategy is to attack their opponents rather than responding to their own failures.
July 5th, 2006 at 2:17 pmOverblowing the threat posed by NK, overblowing the technical capabilities of anti-ballistic systems, and belittling opponents of the waste is classic Republican fear and smear. These people cannot be trusted in government.
July 5th, 2006 at 2:20 pmSo having a missle system that doesn’t work that has cost the taxpayers crazy money is what Reagan and the republicans have given us? Thanks alot…..next.
July 5th, 2006 at 2:20 pmYay. Another third world country half around the world enjoys some failed fireworks, and here comes a big R congresman throwing a bucket of bilon dollar bills to the defense contractors. Check for his investments. I’ll bet 10$ that he has some concealed investments in a defense contractor enterprise, who casually, has an anti-missile project in wallet.
July 5th, 2006 at 2:22 pmWhat do you expect from a Koolaid gargler like Rohrabacher, who used to be Ronald “Star Wars” Reagan’s speechwriter. This assclown proved what a complete flaccid penis he really is on Bill Maher’s show earlier this year.
Of course Star Wars won;t work and likely never will. It was the greatest two-edged con job of the century: #1, it fooled the Russians into thinking Star Wars was viable and they went broke trying to get around it. And, #2, it was the greatest con job on the American taxpayer because we poured $100,000,000,000 into this boondoggle.
In other news: Posting Maureen Dowd’s byline these days is getting to be more of an onerous obligation than a labor of love. Let’s hope this Saturday she goes back to the political beat.
July 5th, 2006 at 2:23 pmFor much needed practice: home-in on the Taepodong-2 strapped to mAnn Coulters thigh.
July 5th, 2006 at 2:24 pmThe right wing…renew its calls for increased funding…
as expected…

Hey don’t disparage the Gipper, due to overwhelming public demand you can buy Reagan dimes for only $20.
July 5th, 2006 at 2:27 pmYou know, when you are relying on the liberals to point out that all of that money for a bunch of fireworks that don’t actually work is a waste of money, you have some real issues with your conservatives.
July 5th, 2006 at 2:29 pmDana is in my district and he is really a doofus (sp?). Having Dana representing us in Congress is kind of like going to a formal dance and bring Ronald McDonald.
July 5th, 2006 at 2:29 pmLet’s attack a few more teeny third world countries that are defenseless against us and see if we can get even more nuclear warheads pointed our way. This is all Bush’s fault. He has the fpreign diplomacy skills of a goat.
July 5th, 2006 at 2:38 pmDana Rohrabacher is just another typical Republican. He serves the 46th district of California, which is the well-heeled area of Orange County on the Pacific coast. A former resident of Sunset Beach, he was a surfer and full-time college student during the Vietnam War. Of course, that was long before he joined Ronald Reagan’s White House staff as a speech writer.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but former beach-bum and surf-turd Rohrabacher is all about protecting America now. He must be relying on all his military experience and beach-time credibilty to attack the “naysayers” and “backbiters” who question a failed missile defense system that over the years has proven costly and unworkable. But I guess that’s why he turned Republican politician: get those useless contracts for his rich supporters. With all the cage-door rattling, I wonder if he’s up for relection in November?
July 5th, 2006 at 2:42 pmDuncan Hunter was on CNN saying the same thing. He, of course, tried to blame Bill Clinton. These guys never miss a beat when it comes to exploiting a serious event for their own politcal gain.
Instead of focusing on what happened and an appropriate response, they start screaming about a weapons system has no short-term value and probably no long term value, other than it brings in $92 billion for their supporters. Does anybody wonder why we are less safe with these idiots in charge?
July 5th, 2006 at 2:43 pmThe difference between liberals and conservatives:
Liberals get irritated over getting attacked for the public programs they have instituted that actually work.
Conservatives get irritated over getting attacked for the public programs they have instituted, that don’t.
July 5th, 2006 at 2:46 pm#10
July 5th, 2006 at 2:50 pmThey must be using the military mark up value given to no-bid contractors for those dimes. lol
Heh. I liked the “FOX NEWS ALERT” on the screen grab, like it’s warning you of impending bullshit or something.
As for the missile defense system, yes I bet there are plenty of military contractors who can’t wait to get themselves a piece of the nebulous, unaccountable missile defense pie.
“This is all Bush’s fault. He has the fpreign diplomacy skills of a goat.
Comment by terri — July 5, 2006 @ 2:38 pm ”
Maybe you should practice some diplomacy yourself! How do you think all those poor goats are going to react when you smear them with such a comparison?
July 5th, 2006 at 2:58 pmI wonder if the French would mind if someone here started calling it the Maginot Missile Defense Line? It osn’t likely to give Minister Maginot a bad name, or a good name either.
July 5th, 2006 at 3:09 pmWhen all is said and done, i.e., problems with N. Korea, Iran, Global Warming, schools in shambles, A phoney war in Iraq, cronies stuffing pockets with taxpayer money, finacially digging a hole we may never get out of, jobs going everywhere but here, ect. And with the Missile Launch of N. Korea and this administration pour more taxpayer money after pie in the sky ideas, the only thing I keep thinking is:
July 5th, 2006 at 3:11 pmI really miss Bill Clinton.
Heh. I liked the “FOX NEWS ALERT†on the screen grab, like it’s warning you of impending bullshit or something.
Comment by Loonie
Yeah. Or something, anyway. Like whenever the crap hits the fan in Iraq, or another Repubican politician takes a big hit. And the bigger the story, the more “Alerts” they have.
Huge death toll in Iraq—–FOX NEWS ALERT: a warehouse fire in Trenton….
A former Bush White House staffer implicated——FOX NEWS ALERT: A car chase in LA….
July 5th, 2006 at 3:12 pmSupport Jim Brandt. He’s running against this nutjob.
Elect Fighting Dem, Jim Brandt to US Congress.
July 5th, 2006 at 3:16 pmThe right wing has latched on to North Korea’s unsuccessful missile launch to renew its calls for increased funding for the Pentagon’s failed $92-billion missile defense system.
Clearly it must be time for another tax cut. How can we spend if we don’t borrow? In fact, why not just have the Chinese build it for us? Then when they are done, we can just say, “Put it on our tab?” [/sarcasm]
July 5th, 2006 at 3:32 pm#15
You idiot! If it weren’t Bill Clinton and the likes of Jimmy Carter giving the nuclear technolgy away to North Korea because they thought they could trust them, we wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place! You and your kind can never be trusted with national security ever again and I will see to that personally.
July 5th, 2006 at 3:40 pmYou and your kind can never be trusted with national security ever again and I will see to that personally.

Says Randy to the hamster in his pocket.
Reagan sold actual weapons to terrorists, so live with it!
July 5th, 2006 at 3:46 pm#25
Show me where Reagan sold nuclear weapons to North Korea-
http://www.newsmax.com/ archives/ articles/ 2003/ 1/ 7/ 164846.shtml
July 5th, 2006 at 3:53 pmRandy
First off, it is kind of unsurprising that you, a rightwinger, would whine about Clinton. It is basically what you guys do, mainly because you can’t bring up any real victories for the current president. That said:
I presume you are talking about 1994, when Bill Clinton managed to get North Korea to start accepting inspectors into North Korea, in exchange for relaxing sanctions with them? Because according to this story it wasn’t anything to do with him. It was Pakistan, you know, the Pakistan which Bush has not moved against even though it has played host to terrorists and has its own nukes?
http://www.cdi.org/nuclear/nk-fact-sheet.cfm
July 5th, 2006 at 3:54 pmNote: When I say it, I mean Randy’s accusation that Clinton gave nuclear tech to N Korea.
July 5th, 2006 at 3:55 pmRandy, show me where Clinton sold nuclear weapons to North Korea. He didn’t. He offered them the same deal that is being offered to Iran now (with Bush’s support) — a light water reactor.
Reagan DID sell weapons to Iran (and by proxy Hizbollah). Shortly thereafter Hizbollah began bragging about how good they suddenly got at destroying Israeli tanks.
So what do you call a president who sells weapons to America’s enemy. I think you call him your hero.
July 5th, 2006 at 3:58 pmmr. rohrbacher should probably be at his lawyer’s office about the pending bribery scandal he is deeply involved in.
July 5th, 2006 at 4:27 pminstead, he was paid to go and ratchet up the fear on fox.
wasn’t it funny only MSNBC thought it wasn’t a big deal, and it turns out, they were right.
Barfly and Kermit, good posts and funny to…..Poor Randy and his pocket hamster……
July 5th, 2006 at 4:36 pmJust another failed government program. No big surprise in my mind. This is the USA federal government afterall. This is the government that broought us such failed programs as Social Security, Mediaid, the Prescription Drug Bill, etc. You would think that they would start using Hind Sight and realize that Federal Bueracracy’s are a huge waste of tax payer money. Hopefully someday they will all come to there senses and get back to what the federal government was supposed to do, Defend america and nothing more. We can only hope!
July 5th, 2006 at 4:47 pmthe mouse who squeaks the loudest has the most to hide lol
July 5th, 2006 at 4:48 pmThere is also this excellent American Physical Society report on boost phase missile defense indicating the difficulties if not impossibilities of the problem.
July 5th, 2006 at 4:48 pmask about aqkhan and north korea
July 5th, 2006 at 4:49 pmBen,
You make way too much sense for these people to understand. You have to remember that they are the “elite”, the smartest, the brightest among us. Why we should feel honored to converse with them.
July 5th, 2006 at 4:50 pmBen, should I start explaining words to you like Bush does to the American people? Would that make me seem more folksy and less elite? I didn’t realize engaging in a debate on the issue was so insulting to you!
July 5th, 2006 at 4:58 pm#29
Clinton sold nuclear technology to North Korea thinking they could trust them. Years later, Albright admitted that Korea cheated. Reagan may have sold weapons to Iran but at least he wasn’t stupid enough to sell nuclear ones. The fact is, Clinton is at fault here. There is no defense. George W. Bush, being the statesman that he is, is not blaming Clinton because that will not solve anything here. I am pointing these facts out just to show how liberals cannot be trusted with national security.
July 5th, 2006 at 4:58 pmsorry that was for randy
July 5th, 2006 at 4:58 pmRandy
So, what you are basically saying is that Bush, in his deal with Iran, is repeating Clinton’s mistake. The deal is the same after all.
July 5th, 2006 at 5:01 pmDid Clinton sell nuclear bombs to Korea? He sold some technology on how to build a reactor, how does that transfer to him selling nuclear weapons?
China has nuclear capablity, as does Pakistan, India, Russia, France, England, the US, and according to some reports Isreal, and South Africa. Did I leave anyone off the list? Who was the Pakistan scientest who was selling nuclear technology to the highest bidder? There is the problem.
Sure you can blame Clinton all you want, but he is not responsible for Korea building a bomb. Niether is Bush. The real problem in Korea is the whacko Kim Jong-il. I would say a removal of kim, and a re-uniting of korea would be a good idea.
Bad idea would be attacking a country that isn’t a threat.
but hey what do I know.
July 5th, 2006 at 5:14 pmBruce Gorton,
Sadly Bush is going down the same road with Iran and most conservatives are not for it. Are you saying that the Dems also want to attack Iran instead of hand over nukes? Cool, we agree for once!!!
Sadly, Iran doesn’t think that getting free USA nukes in exchange for stopping there own is a good idea. When you think about it that way, the leaders of Iran are truly nuts.
July 5th, 2006 at 5:20 pmBen, can you actually find one instance of a US president, handing a nuclear weapon to anyone? I mean really just once. I suppose we sent some to England and Germany, but didn’t the US military maintain control of the weapons?
July 5th, 2006 at 5:25 pmBen
Personally, I feel America, if it wanted war so badly should have gone for Iran rather then Iraq, and Pakistan rather then either. Go read that link I posted to see why Pakistan. The trouble is that right now America simply can’t invade Iran. If it comes to nuclear war, it will be mutual annihilation because China wants that oil, if it comes to a conventional war the rest of the middle east could well unite, and you still have that problem with China and Russia to deal with.
While I feel dubious about giving Iran nuclear technology, is a solution with a less then stellar history, the fact is the only options available right now are diplomatic, and America needs to have a unified security council for this. America has basically pissed away any hopes of that with Iraq, and its subsequent sneering at Europe. What diplomatic options are available? I don’t know, but right now you need someone in power creative enough to figure them out, or at least creative enough to figure out how to neutralise the threat without America going into another war. You need a liberal president.
July 5th, 2006 at 5:29 pmIt is worth remembering that SDI was originated by Ronnie Raygun as a program to PROTEST THE WHOLE WORLD AGAINST AN ALIEN ATTACK.
Not an illegal alien attack — an attack by aliens from outer space.
During his first meeting with Gorbachev, Ronnie Raygun told the shocked commie that their two nations would join together to fight an outer space attack by aliens, if it were to happen.
Let Us All Join Hands Against the Martians, Comrades.
July 5th, 2006 at 5:32 pmOops, sorry, PROTECT, not ‘protest’ the whole world against what Colin Powell called Ronnie’s “Little Green Men.’

Comment by Ben
=========================
So…in the case of a disaster like New Orleans,the government’s response should be:”Sorry.We’ve got the money,expertise, and equipment.But,not our job!”
You can’t possibly be serious.
July 5th, 2006 at 6:01 pmOnly nation that was given nukes from the US was to Israel > first ones they got said made in America on them! Since then Israel has manufactured a few hundred more!
July 5th, 2006 at 6:02 pmBruce Gorton,
I fully agree with you. I would have rather attacked Iran or Pakistan over Iraq. I guess it came down to “bad blood”. Saddam did have a hit out on Bush’s old man afterall. Then again, attacking Iraq probably had the least consiquences of the 3. Iran actually has a large oil supply that is in production so attacking them would have been bigger problems for the world markets. Iraq has virgin oil fields so the world could look at our attack as a new chance to develop it down the road. Attacking Pakistan is risky since they have Nukes. Then again, we do perform missions in Pakistan. Remember when are unmanned airplane leveled that village?
I guess it doesn’t matter much now as it is already done. All we can do it figure our our plan for tommorrow. Right?
July 5th, 2006 at 6:05 pmSteve53,
I never said FEMA was a bad program. FEMA is actually a very important program as it is part of keeping Americans safe. The fact that FEMA did a half ass job in New Orleans still isn’t a surprise though. It is just another big government buerocracy afterall. It is funny how people still to this day think the government will somehow be able to do there jobs flawlessly. IT’S GOVERNMENT!!
July 5th, 2006 at 6:08 pmWho do you suppose he will blame for his faulty missle? probably his personal backbiting naysayer wife. This guy is a freak I usually expect to see his sort on the Jerry Springer show.

Ben,keeping Americans safe isn’t the same thing as defending America.
But,I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt–this time.

Damn that children’s book!
As usual, the stalinist left on this site blame Bush and not their fascist friend, Kim Jung “Be” Illing.
July 5th, 2006 at 6:52 pmToo bad, Kim’s Taepodong-2 didn’t live up to the hype and didn’t become a target practice for these missile interceptors.
Now we will never know if these interceptors are worth the money or not.
July 5th, 2006 at 8:05 pmShooting a bullet down with a bullet is extraordinarily difficult; shooting a missle down with a (viable) particle weapon much easier. If we’re gonna waste money, let’s waste in that direction. At least may get better DVD storage out of the research.
July 5th, 2006 at 8:41 pmBack in the 1980’s Scientific American did an analysis of the Reagan Star Wars system and found very inexpensive and easy ways to avoid a missile defence system.
July 5th, 2006 at 10:25 pmIf a Lazer was to shoot down the missile one might simply chrome plate the missile and spin it. Another is to program a random wobble projectory into the flight path. Another is to make the launch burn very fast so that when the missile reached it’s altitude there is no heat signature left for anti missile defence to find it. The whole thing was never taken seriously anyway, it was a bluff to make the USSR think we might gain a first strike capability, you know they are too smart for that. The repugnats like to talk about Big Government Democrats but if you look at their loonatic millitary adventure it is they that waste trillions that bring no benifit to the American people. We now spend more on millitary than the next 20 largest economies in the world combined. We and nuts.
I studied Star Wars in detail a few years after Reagan proposed it. There was about a decade when it didn’t have official government support, but corporations spent from 1972 to 1983 working on spec (And it was pretty much the same people and companies that resumed work in 1983), so it’s reaonably accurate to say that the ABM/Star Wars/Missile Defense/etc program began during the Eisenhower Administration and has continued unabated since then.
July 5th, 2006 at 10:48 pmWhat has the USA accomplshed in those five decades? Well, we’ve transferred a hell of a lot of money from taxpayers to defense contractors. Beyond that, not a heck of a lot.
The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists did a thorough review of it in 1967. Not much to add to the arguments made back then.
Ben and Randy remind me of two sayings.
Most conservatives aren’t dumb, but most dumb people are conservatives.
and
Republicans scream that Government doesn’t work…and then they get elected and prove it.
July 6th, 2006 at 12:11 amIn the end none of it matters whether it worked or not (i.e. the Missle “Defense” [contracts boondoggle]). We’ll all be nursing radioactive wounds as a result of globalthermonuclear war. Shall we play a game? Indeed, we shall. It’s called ‘The End Game.’
So long humans, it’s been nice chatting!
July 6th, 2006 at 1:17 amHere’s an aspect to this whole North Korean tale which no one will talk about and you have to wonder why. The man who spent BILLIONS successfully manipulating our political system to bring the hard right and theocratic to power IS involved in all aspects of this story.

July 6th, 2006 at 1:24 amI can’t wait until Hillary is President. She can use all these new presidential powers Bush has invented to track down and round up domestic enemies of freedom, such as Randy and Ben. Then they can spend the rest of their days behind bars swapping stories with W and Cheney about how they almost got away with it.
July 6th, 2006 at 3:07 am“The fact that FEMA did a half ass job in New Orleans still isn’t a surprise though. It is just another big government buerocracy afterall.” –Ben
Wow, Ben — that is the smelliest Arkansas porker turds I’ve smelled in about ten minutes. What NONSENSE.
THE CARTER PLEDGE, on forming FEMA, tells you all there is to know:
1. FEMA will ALWAYS treat all Americans the same regardless of race, color, gender, sexual orientation or what have you. The Bushco Hallifema is a FOR PROFIT African-American Removal Project. Does the word ‘Superdome’ ring a bell?
2 FEMA will ALWAYS be a Cabinet level agency. Bush took FEMA out of the Cabinet, replacing it with DHS under Chertoff, who has ZERO interest in national emergencies, and is more interested in developing a Police State. Brown tried to get anyone to pay attention, but they were all out to lunch, golfing, or laughing at Americans DYING.
3. FEMA will ALWAYS be run by a highly-experienced First Responder. GFH Bush hired Brown, complimented Brown on trying to find crawdad dinners rather than floating bodies of dead Negroes, and lauged plenty about hiring a horse show organizer for a job that is about confronting death and saving people’s LIVES.
The reason why FEMA failed is right there for you to see. Under Clinton, FEMA evacuated 2.5 million Floridians — safely, and efficiently. FEMA’s director, James D. Witt was an expert first responder with a great deal of experience over YEARS of dealing with disaster efficiently — as if lives depended on it. And Clinton’s FEMA chief spoke to him every time the Cabinet met, to make SURE that programs like retrofitting New Orleans’ levies WENT FORWARD, instead of being diverted to Corps Bridge-to-Nowhere building, and Halliburton and Blackwater cash-outs.
Quit spreading lies. FEMA failed because the Decider GUTTED it.
And the rightwing dwads want to censure Carter!!! For what? Giving a damn?
July 6th, 2006 at 5:30 amThere are a few things that have not been brought out in this discussion. First, if you analyze the “successful” tests of the missile defense system you will find that the only way the land based interceptors hit their mark is through a combination of radar and radio transmitters on the target warhead. So if the North Koreans have a radio transmitter on their warheads we would be able to find it. The Navy system has been successful at hitting the mark though. But with the emphasis on all things Army and Air Force, the Navy system has been getting short shrift from this administration. (Disclaimer: as you can see I retired from the Navy. No bias though.)
Second, one of the first items of business for Sec Def Rumsfeld was to remove the Missile Defense System from any outside oversight. With that stroke of the pen, no one is sure how much has been spent on the system since 2001.
July 6th, 2006 at 8:38 amHey, if this Republican Congressman wants to defend a program that, after 25 years, and who really knows how many billions of dollars so far, is a total failure, go ahead! Defense contractors are making good money, right? That makes it a Republican success story. And if they can get even more money now, YEOWZA!!! And it never has to work, people just need to think it would work, and they want to believe it does. And GWB gives our nuclear technology to India, for some Mangos, and sells Pakistan F-16 fighter jets. Yeah, that was really smart. The “Decider” has it all figured out, bummer about that ‘idiot’ thing he has, though.
July 6th, 2006 at 9:01 amCoitus, interruptus, AGAIN!
July 6th, 2006 at 11:15 amDo you know who turned Rohrabacher on to ‘Star Wars’? None other than former Steely Dan/Doobie Brothers guitarist, Jeff “Skunk” Baxter. I shit you not. Baxter, a layman, became interested in missile defense from a neighbor. Check it out:
July 6th, 2006 at 11:34 amhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Baxter
[…] A reader might think the U.S. has an operational missile defense system capable of shooting down long-range missiles. Of course, it doesn’t. So what part of the missile system was “tested and passed”? The U.S. Northern Command said in a statement that all seven missiles were detected and tracked “immediately” after launch Tuesday and Wednesday. […]
July 6th, 2006 at 1:44 pmI am so sick of the dim conservatives like Ben and Randy. I hope they are really the same nutjob with a keyboard, but I fear there is a host of moron-Americans.My differentiation of Liberals and conservatives recognizes that a liberal has both a brain and a conscience.
July 7th, 2006 at 12:24 amBallistic missile defense is like the Maginot line in WW1. Didn’t help the French much…German army went round the end.The same result would occur with our stupid waste of money.
