did the war head come from vandenberg?

So funny how you don't hear about this on the news but every time they fail it makes the cut.

Tommy Dashole, Pelosi, Kennedy, Kerry, Rangel et al are very sad.

[Jeff Head]

OUTSTANDING!

[MEG33]

My first thought!

Isn't that interesting that it works that way in the MSM.

[rlmorel]

Boy, it must be a trip to be on the bridge for that shot, eh???

Heh, brings out the pyro in all of us!

Yet another advanced technology we'll have to block from Europeans going forward if they start selling arms to China.

Although I consider the decision short-sighted and obtuse (yes, I am Canadian), the government of Canada officially turned down an invitation to involve itself with missle defense today. Everything from technical feasibility issues to it leading to the weaponization of space were cited as reasons.

Does anyone else find it odd that this "success" occurred on the very day that Canada said "no, eh"?

[NorCalRepub]

at least we don't have to worry about the Canadians wanting this anymore......

[Jeff Head]

I worked on THAADS in the early 90's. We could have had these capabilities 10 years ago...but guess who got in the way and cut it off. That's right, the toon.

One of these days, one of these things is going to save about a million liberals from getting torched. When that happens, it will have been their idea all along.

Did the Canadians inform us of the date that they were going to say no so we could do the many weeks of preparation necessary to conduct such a test? Maybe we asked the Canadians to tell us the date of their announcement so we could prepare in advance for it.

[Brilliant]

Don't worry. Hillary will kill the project and use the savings to fund additional social programs.

[TSgt]

That's okay.

You can pick up the parts that fall in Canada after we shoot it down over Canadian airspace ;)

[Jeff Head]

No Hitlery won't, she will not get the chance...Condolisa will forge ahead with it...LOL!

[rlmorel]

Boy, does it burn my butt that Hilliary is doing a makeover that is going to fool a lot of people. I would like to think that a lot of people won't fall for it, but I know a lot will.

To see her on the Senate Armed Services Committee is enough to make me grind all my teeth to stubs. God help us.

[Jeff Head]

Well, now instead of, if worse comes to worse and God forbid, interception are made, instead of radioactive material falling to earth over the arctic, they will fall to earth over Canadian soil if they come in over the pole.

Yes, I would say that is rather short sighted.
