Paul Shawcross, Chief of the Science and Space Branch at the White House Office of Management and Budget, has officially responded to a November petition requesting that the United Sates government construct a Death Star by 2016.

Shawcross stated that the White House would not be pursuing any Death Star construction projects, citing critical design failures: “Why should we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?”

The Obama administration also claims that the Death Star proposal would conflict with their core policies, saying, “The Administration does not support blowing up planets.”

This actually is a petition on the Whitehouse.gov site. Even though the article is satire, I don't doubt that there is some Barry appointee stupid enough to respond to this petition.

The Libs still refuse to grasp the fundamental concept of deterrence. Peace through Strength.

If the Romulans know that you can blow up their home planet they will not attack Earth because they know that we can and will destroy Romulus.

Duh!!!

Yeah but, the administration wouldn't mind blowing up this one.
