I'm not getting that deep-seated notion from Him - so far. Maybe His teleprompter is malfunctioning??

Do you REALLY honestly believe Obama will let them attack us when we have the ability to shoot down their missiles?

If you people really believe Obama's going to sit back and let someone attack us and do nothing about it, you might be a whackjob.

What makes you think that we have this ability?

SDI was never put into effect.

Last I heard, the Obama administration, Pelosi, Reid, and company HAD terminated funding for SDI.

Kinda gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling in the pit of your stomach, no?

Got any other viable source other than a figurehead that likes to suger coat everything to make the public calm?

The US says there is a gap in its anti-missile defences.

Will it work?
The theory is that the interceptor missile homes in on and destroys its target in the air by physically hitting the incoming warhead.

However, the closing speed of interceptor and target will be 24,000kph (14,900mph), or 6.5km (4 miles) per second - so the task is more difficult than hitting a bullet with another bullet.

The system's supporters say that not only does it work, but it is even more accurate than that.

But critics say that, despite having spent over $100bn (£54bn), the Pentagon still has not proved the system can work in realistic conditions.

Independent scientific bodies in the US have said that tests of the system's intercept capabilities have been highly scripted, with the defence being given detailed information about the attack beforehand.
They also argue that the defence system could be easily circumvented by potential attackers.

If a nuclear bomb were to hit D.C. you can kiss our asses goodbye.

yea but DC is 8,000 miles away from N korea. the only way they could hit dc with a nuke would be if they put it on a boat and sailed it into dc.

Two passenger airplanes knocked down both WTC's a few years back.

It's impossible until it happens.
