you said: After kissing Chinese ass Mr bush has no chsance of re-election. That is a hot topic among my colleagues. "If Bush dosen't take obvious action against the Chinese he is toast. " I agree.

topic is 2 and a half years old, info is extremely outdated. He's more than likely gonna get reelected

so what does this have to do with space warfare?

"so what does this have to do with space warfare" Bush's relection is just a pie in the sky?

So back to the origional subject. Is there a point to a US Space force yet. I would think it would make more sense to wait untill the USAirforce has manned space craft. If it was created now the number of people in it would be very small. I can't imagine more then 50,000 personel even if you included the ICBMs. So the political clout to get more money from congress would be almost non existant. When it comes to Bush I do think he will be relected. I don't know if any of you are Americans that have posted on this question, but right now Howard Dean, The democratic leading contender is not that popular. The Saddam this has helped Bush out alot here. Unless a decent Democrat gets into the lead unfourtantly it looks like Bush will be around for another 4 years.

the original post was made over 2 years ago during the china situation. Before 9/11. Before Afghanistan. Before Iraq. Before Saddam was captured. The economy is on an upswing, people are getting tax refunds, our military is actually doing well in its campaigns. Bush will be reelected, no problem.

Re: Space force: Its already there, called NASA. There is no current, strategic need for weapon platforms in space, so all that is required is constant R and D on similar areas. Re Bush re-election. Possible, but personally I wont be voting for him. Funny enough, since I'm from Ireland... Seriously, I dont think massive budget deficits are any way to manage an econemy in the long run.

Neither is letting all the US R&D jobs go to China and Ireland. Space is all the US has left.

I meant India
