October surprise?
Has the October Surprise has been revealed?
Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld has quietly ordered elements of the long range missile defense system to begin operations on October 1.
This date is about four weeks before the 2004 elections.
So this hardly tested, extremely expensive, unworking "defense shield" is going operational. Nevermind that the single greatest act of terrorism against the continental US would never have been stopped by such a device. Nevermind that the single greatest threat to the United States as outlined by this Administration is terrorism (so much so that some want to have a plan to postpone the election).
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
