And how many billions have we wasted on those weapons? That money would have made this country better and stronger if used to re-build our crumbling infrastructure, you know Bridges and highways, port security, border security, nuclear and chemical security, things this administration has no interest in!

Propaganda will get ya nowhere.........so where's a link stating a 25% success rate? I just did a google search with no luck confirming this.

The Patriot system did have flaws.....while taking out the missle it left an active warhead to go off to who the hell knows where......

I would have thought the days of Mr. Peanut would have enlightened people on the need of a modern day defense but.........

Have a good one!:s4:
