I guess the Libs will have to come up with another reason Strategic Missile Defense will never work. You would think they'd get tired of being so very wrong on this subject. It's called RESEARCH morons! Never say never!

kewl!
Cool!
Bummer for Raytheon
They should also try to work more on making a ground-based laser that has the range to shoot down missiles far away and base them on islands in the Pacific Ocean, and if the United States owns any, islands in the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. That method could eventually be cheaper than this missile-shooting-down-missile one, so even if a very “wealthy opponent” lobs missile after missile this way, the cost of destroying them could be cheaper than the cost to the foreign power to shoot the missiles.
This is all well and good but we still need more boots on the ground. Since Clinton cut so much of our military, from 18 to 10 divisions, we don’t have enough and our military strength is really stretched.
Missile technology.....ping
Interesting development....ping
"Hello, Lockheed Martin? They just launched another batch of ICBMs at us, and we need to buy some more MKV missiles ASAP!!! Can you deliver - oh, let's say 8 dozen - within the next 15 seconds?...What? You say we've already exceeded our credit limit????!!!!!"
About 1985 he told the Politburo that the Communist Party must defeat the Strategic Defense Initiative through propaganda in the West, technological innovation at home and a screaming bloody edge technologically superior rearmament of the Red forces. If this could not be accomplished, Ogarkov said, the Soviet Union was over.
THANK GOD FOR SDI!!!
Rather looks to me that Ronald Reagan successfully aborted a nuclear war. The Liberals still hate him for it.
The cost of these weapons has to be weighed against the cost of needing them and not having them. Here, that would be millions of Americans vaporized and our country significantly degraded.
When you primary strategy is deterrence, perfection is a military that never goes to war. It's weapons like the old B-36 that never fire a shot in anger. Using weapons implies deterrence failed. I, for one, would be happy to fund weapons that win wars by preventing an opponent from even starting one.
