Political Quotes

“The gentleman is asking the question that many Americans have asked or believe they have answered for themselves and believe that we can defend against an incoming ballistic missile attack. I have had a focus group where my constituents said, yes, we think we are defended. Why would not our Government defend us against ballistic missiles? And we had to tell them no, you are not defended. So the answer is no. And Mr. Perry was very honest. The Secretary of Defense is honest when you ask him a direct question. He said no we cannot stop a single incoming ballistic missile coming into an American city.”
