The United States And Plans To Put Permanent Bases On The Moon
Is it a masterstroke — or “lunacy?”

Its BS Mr.Gandelman.
The Bush administration has already blown the money. There simply is no money for this silly adventure. Since we now know that this administration virtually has no creative power, I suspect it is just a empty copy of John Kennedy’s “before the end of this decade” resolve to lead. Nobody is going to listen, much less be inspired by this crap. It could be categorized as a desperate political popularity attempt based on a cheap war novel. Thats my take.
My guess is it will be cheaper than our permanent bases in Iraq.
My god. In further reading, I only have to ask why would you link to such a low brow web-site? This site reeks with neo-con attack rhetoric! There is absolutely nothing of use or interest than can be read.
I often link to things that I find interesting. If I only linked to things I totally agreed with — or only invited people to write on this site that I agree 100 percent with — it’d be a pretty empty site!
Krous,
My site reeks with neo-con attack rhetoric? Could you give an example (outside the comments, which I don’t control)?
The piece Joe linked to was a humor piece. I’m sorry if it didn’t make you laugh. But really, “neo-con attack rhetoric”? Who did I attack? And what is it about my site that makes you define me as “neo-con?”
Oh my God Mr.Gandelman, look! The neocon blogger even comes here to start a fight. Damned if I’ll accomadate the fool.
Krous,
That’s not picking a fight.
Those are what we call “questions.”
Oh, and Joe is a friend of mine. You’re wasting your time complaining to him about the evil “neocon blogger.” He knows better.
Smash
Its over buddy. If I wanted to fight you neo-con I’d do it on your web-site. Not somebody elses. Now excuse me sir, but I need to wash my hands of you.
NO BLOOD FOR CHEESE!
LMAO
LOL… SMASH, don’t give them many ideas… oh and don’t feed the trolls.
Smash-
I agree with Tully. LMAO. No Blood For Cheese may be my new signature line, provided I can secure the licensing….
Mr.Gandelman, (Joe),
I understand Mr.Gandelman. I don’t agree with them either.
Then argue instead of making random statements of debatable veracity or pure opinion.
The linked article’s decently funny if you know the math, but I think it really hits the edge too closely. I know some on the Arab street have been noting this as another sign of American Imperialism, and some people can’t think of a use for a lunar base… probably too close to reality for satire, but a good shot.
Brilliant, SMASH. I’m having a hard time deciding which line I liked the best, I was laughing so hard throughout.
I have to agree with gatt though, it may be too close to reality. It was actually my first thought when I read of Bush’s plan, that we are probably about to embark on a new era of colonial wars during the next century.
This does seem to conflict with Frank J’s infamous plan of “Nuking the Moon”
