[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did Biden once vote against star wars missile defense?[/quote]

Yes.  As Robert Gates famously said, "Biden has been wrong on nearly every foreign policy issue and national security issue over the past four decades." Unfortunately, he is the commander in chief at a time we need someone who gets foreign policy correct.

[quote]Throughout his career, Mr. Biden has consistently opposed modernization of our strategic nuclear forces. He was a fierce opponent of Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative. Mr. Biden voted against funding SDI, saying, "The president's continued adherence to [SDI] constitutes one of the most reckless and irresponsible acts in the history of modern statecraft." Mr. Biden has remained a consistent critic of missile defense and even opposed the U.S. dropping out of the Antiballistic Missile Treaty after the collapse of the Soviet Union (which was the co-signatory to the ABM Treaty) and the end of the Cold War.[/quote]

Living in DC, SDI would sure be comforting around now. Do people realize how much we disemboweled the all of it - both agressive AND defensive?[/quote]

SDI was just Mutually Assured Destruction 2.0.  The only thing that could potentially stop it would be a iron-dome type system that also includes weapons fast enough to intercept and destroy incoming missiles including hypersonic.  And nobody, Republican or Democrat, has particularly worked toward making that happen.[/quote]
