Polish newspaper says the US will abondon ABM missile shield

The U.S. administration has denied allegations that they might cancel the installation of an anti-missile defense (AMD) shield in Poland. It says the project is still underway, though no final decision has been made. Sixty per cent of Poles oppose the missile deployment.

Rightardia's view is the the Bush era AMD program is another wasteful fascist fear monkey program that is designed to roll billions into conservative defense corporate coffers. Since Ronald Reagan’s initial Star Wars speech in 1983, well over $120 billion has been spent.

We need a national health care system first before we commit to a program that may never work and will cost hundreds of billion of dollars to deploy. We need to negotiate nuclear arms reductions with the Russians and Chinese before we escalate the strategic nuclear arms race.

The Major commented the US has spent billions of strategic bombers that fly local missions around US air force bases and missile launch officers who sit in silos 'Waiting for Godot.'

After World War 2 had ended, almost half of the defense budget was spent on such strategic weapons systems. There is a more intelligent way to use tax dollars than throwing it into the strategic defense 'glory hole.'
