Article 5 Section 3 is about the conversion of ICBM/SLBM's to missile defense interceptors and vice versa. When we still maintained plans to implement a missile defense system in Poland and the Czech the Russians were very concerned about the ability to easily convert defensive weapons into offensive weapons. NOTHING prevents the further deployment of the launchers of missile defense interceptors and the interceptors itself. The exact text follows:
"Each Party shall not convert and shall not use ICBM launchers and SLBM launchers for placement of missile defense interceptors therein. Each Party further shall not convert and shall not use launchers of missile defense interceptors for placement of ICBMs and SLBMs therein. This provision shall not apply to ICBM launchers that were converted prior to the signature of this Treaty for placement of missile defense interceptors therein."

There is nothing in the treaty that prevents any efforts for antimissile defense in America. Read the f~ing treaty; it is available in PDF form on the State Dept. website. I am so sick of conservatives that can't get their facts straight. Another link is through Wikipedia. Look up New Start and under External links at the bottom click on "The New START Treaty and Protocol from Whitehouse.gov"

skip, I was simply stating that by saying, "what's next cross-dressing?" you are presenting a slippery slope fallacy. The Slippery Slope is a fallacy in which a person asserts that some event must inevitably follow from another without any argument for the inevitability of the event in question.
Glad to hear your not a bigot about gays in the military. I was only pointing out your logical fallacy and although you did it in a benign way others use it to support their bigotry.

Excellent post @ SiouxChef at 01:04 PM JST - 21st December
SiouxChef basically refuted every point Wolfpack has made concerning the evils of homosexuality. I do thing Wolfpack would make an excellent pointman for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He could explain why it is just to execute gays in Iraq. He has already shown himself quite worthy of the front man task.

That is the slippery slope logical fallacy I was speaking of earlier. You beat skipthesong to the punch the first time you eluded to it.

"You're nearly a laugh, You're nearly a laugh but you're really a cry." Only a moron would interpret this as nothing short of an utter repeal on gay sexuality. Gays will be able to have anal sex, oral sex and girls will be allowed to share sex toys. RR just wants to alleviate his own pain of being on the losing end. We have already seen RR use other screen names on this thread to denigrate gays, try to label them as degenerate and call for them to be killed (put on the front lines). So now the losers are trying to rewrite the law in their favor (in their mind). Too bad. The gay soldiers and future gay soldiers (sailors and airmen etc.) are the champions and nobody including RR can take that away from them. I can just hear Freddy Mercury singing "We are the champions, no time for losers, cause we are the champions . . ."
Homosexual behavior against the law. Too funny. The UCMJ will be free from all such language once they implement this law.

I guess you don't understand what added bonus means. I saw your long worthless speech.
The bottom line is that it is the best policy is to insist that the men and women in uniform obey this morally correct policy. This is a human rights issue and it is immoral to deny gays the right to serve without fear of reprisal.
I can't believe the liberals on here who concede the moral high ground to these homophobes. It is immoral to call gays deviants. It is immoral to kick gays out of the military because they had sex or were exposed in some manner including self disclosure.
This law did not get passed because America is declining morally. That is a bunch of bullshit that homophobes and bigots want to pass off. The vast majority of Americans support this. These are straight people who understand what the moral and ethical thing to do is.
This is not about being politically correct. It is about human rights and the losers, the bigots and the homophobes can cry all they want to and lie all they want to and make up their myriad of excuses for taking the moral low ground but that is exactly what they are doing. Make no mistake about that.

But DADT did deny "the same accords." Straight people were allowed to have sex and gay people were forbidden to do so. Please don't say something like gay guys could have sex with girls if they wanted because that is a totally ignorant statement.
It is just an added bonus for this law to piss off all the right people.

Finally justice prevails. This is and always was about human rights. The long time ban and then ridiculous DADT policy was about prejudice; nothing more. What will the arch conservatives say when there is no mass exodus because this fair policy has taken effect?

I had never heard of Jundallah before. A good article by AP.
Ummm, I think there are other possibilities.

The Democrats had already agreed to extend the tax cuts to the middle class. So it is not an important shift. It was just a case of being forced to give tax cuts to the rich.

That's a joke right. She runs all over the country endorsing candidates and inserting herself into campaigns. She gives political speeches at tea party functions. Furthermore, she has been doing the Iowa thing. I wonder why?

"We didn't know any better" doesn't cut it. You can try to excuse the inexcusable but I don't think anybody is buying it. Learn to man up like the rest of us and take responsibility.
