lol, i assume you question their excistanse. The russians have lost quite a few, but when talking aobut these kinds of threats then one normally mean handeld / portable / small devices.

If you want to know what a suitcase looks like then the closest thing i can think of that you would recogise is a box with handle that you would normally use to carry your guns around in

Lazs.. everyone knows they are about 2 cubic feet in volume and have a red digital timer on them that runs backwards with a small script below the timer in bright letters stating...'Do not be withing 5 miles of this package when above timer reaches  00:00'  

They are the latest craze!

Ok nilesen... I will settle for the pictures you have of the Russian ones.

Sorry, Rip. This was a Republican initiative that Clinton opposed.

When President Clinton announced on September 1, 2000,4 that he would delay construction, his decision was not due to any unexpected or unavoidable technological limitations in the program, though this is clearly the impression he conveyed in his speech at Georgetown University. In reality, the President and his Administration inherited an NMD program from the Bush Administration that enjoyed congressional support and--had it been allowed to progress--already would have provided Americans with several years of limited defense. The President chose to scuttle that program and leave Americans completely vulnerable to missile attack for an indefinite period of time.


Conclusion
President Clinton's announcement that he is deferring the initial construction activities for fielding a national missile defense should remove any remaining doubt about his position on missile defense for America.

The President has opposed missile defense ever since coming into office. He terminated the GPALS program he inherited from the Bush Administration. He slashed funding for research and development. He vetoed an entire Department of Defense authorization bill over a provision on missile defense. He sought to circumvent both the Constitution and the United States Senate in reviving the ABM Treaty with the former Soviet Union, which prohibits a territorial NMD system. Finally, he ignored the requirements of the law regarding the deployment of an NMD system. This decision most definitely was not the result of any technological barriers to deployment. Rather, it is the logical result of his long-standing hostility to missile defense for America.

President Clinton's failure to address the threat of ballistic missile attack is perhaps the single greatest national security failure of his Administration. It is a policy that leaves the American people vulnerable to a threat that is clear, real, and growing according to government and other expert assessments. America's NMD program is seriously trailing the escalating threat, and the nation's vulnerability becomes graver by the day. This need not be the case.

So you are agreeing with this missile program? Good. Glad to see you are on board!

Not hardly. Read the whole article. They slam Clinton for not being on board.

The hell are you talking about Ripsnort? That image was used as to what a suitcase bomb could look like.

I guess that image won't show up, but since it was cached for me - it did.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -… was set ….critics called a stunning failure…

And the CRITICS would have said what? something positive?

 

 ….Shutting itself down automatically because of an "anomaly" of unknown origin,…

Sounds like the fail safe worked perfectly to me.



….One of the test's goals was to show it was ready for production. ….

I work in research, do you have any idea of how many Failures we have before bringing something to market?


We will make it work, in spite of the Liberals crying about the US defending it's self.

Did you read that NK is now testing LONG range rockets, as in California coast range?
