    I also never hard of canada geese in sea water. Sometimes people freak out about nothing, I once saw a video of a sprinklers spring water, the sun refracted off the water and formed a rainbow, the person suggested this was a sign of all the chemicals in the water.. fucking crazy!

    In so many ways you have Ronald Reagan to thank for this.

    His locking down of energy research at the national labs and redirecting it to his Stars Wars pipe dream set the US and the rest of the world back decades

    But Damn Nancy dressed well didn't she..

    Again you have citation to prove that there was governmental policy, locking down of energy research at the national labs and redirecting it to his Stars Wars pipe dream, under President Reagan, please provide such proof.

    The funny thing is that from what I seen and read, SDI ended up being a successful program, and is still advancing.

    We now have the capability to intercept missiles, satellites, we have even reached the point that incoming artillery rounds can be shot out of the air.

    Wow buffalo, what art thou smoking?

    We can intercept missiles, even satellites, but artillery rounds? Where the hell did you pull that out of?

    How was SDI succesful?!? It was to set up a satelite grid over the US with lasers to shoot down ballistic missiles. Do we have satelites with freaking lasers attached to their freaking heads (Austin Powers referance)?

    No we do not, ergo, SDI was a failure.

    Oil was spilled in Melaka Straits, Malaysia. But not as serious as this.

    Hi, anyone here living near the coast of the oil spill? How is your seafood there? Expensive? Unsafe to eat? You can't swim in the sea now?
    Very frustrating, right?

    So you have nothing to back up your supposition, just as I though.

    Really you need to do more research before you post, the Phalanx has been with us for a few decades, and ;

    I also believe that President Reagan talked about;

    SDI isn't dead, isn't a failure, Lazers are alive and well....just because of the cut backs it is a little behind schedule.

    All that and just can't seem to clean up even one fucking Eco disaster. Those are always up to nature.

    How many fucking arty rounds even have been needed to be intercepted? Yeah asymmetric warfare has to deal with that all the time...Never mind nukes no one really really has the strategic capability to use offensively via missiles.

    So Trillions? Spent and NEVER FUCKIN USED. Well no one can even come up with a fucking dollar amount for this oil spill, and I can bet my life that no government/corporation will truly be able to solve this.

    You have the GALL to argue about if a fucking useless, (yes never used is fucking useless) system works, in a thread about the oil leak in the gulf. WTF is wrong with you, get over yourself, your military "capability", your fucking country. You are acting the quintessential "Ugly American".

    What home work? if there is no written policy to find then there is no policy, your the one making the claim that there was this policy,

    not me, so ergo it is up to you to show such a policy existed.

    Yes, you do seem to have lost your cool, but then it must be embarrassing to live under the protective umbrella of the United State defense system, but talk to PieAreSquared, he was the one to broach the subject.

    The C-Ram, Phalanx-1B Centurion has been forward deployed into Iraq since 2005, and at the date of this article http://www.thefreelibrary.com/C-Ram--the artillery shell zappers.-a0220469603had performed over 110 engagements of incoming threats in Iraq.

    Again, it was you who made the claim, ergo it is up to you to present proof that such a policy existed, for the reasons you claim.
