"This, of course, is a very feeble statement."

Handwaving, i-node.

"As defenses against ICBMs continue to be strengthened, it is intuitive that "internal" locations will be easier to defend than coastal locations."

Your intuition is flawed. As usual. An intercept from the rear is a dicey proposition. At best. You do know that, don't you?

"It should be totally obvious to you that your statement on this subject was rather stupid. "

To someone who is clueless, it might appear that way. So many totally obvious things turn out that way.

"The more distance an ICBM has to fly over land we can easily defend with countermeasures, the better."

What kind of countermeasures do you think are available? Some are airborne, others are waterborne. The airborne components can operate over water. The waterborne, which is the most developed, need to.

You are so rigidly partisan that you are now just making shit up for the opportunity to smear Obama.

Per usual.
