This is great news for national security. Even better news for national security would be for Democrats to not gain control of Congress.

exo-atmospheric kill vehicle

Gotta love DoD euphemisms! But shouldn't it be "exo-atmospheric terminate with extreme prejudice vehicle?"

I remember from one of the many other threads which I read all of only because the ABM is based right down the road and some of my neighbors work there.

This test was attempted several months ago, but the interceptor failed to launch because of a rusty hinge. The hinge item has been replaced on all interceptors and the result was this success.

It's fantastic news! Too many nuts running countries these days, I'm glad Ronald Reagan's vision is coming to fruition. Please thank the neighbors for me! :)

I view the ABM as a layer of safety. We don't have to immediately fire a Minuteman III broadsides at the first sign of an enemy launch. Things should be much calmer on this planet now, and that is a big change.

I suspect China is rather intensely interested. They just are smart enough not to mouth off about it.

China could use an ABM system. They are beginning to have some infrastructure worth defending.

I haven't seen it yet, I just got here. There was one yesterday (same WND article, different author) that skyrocketed to something like ten comments.

Sometime in the near future:

Iranian Radar Operator to Amadinejad: Sir, we have fired 5 nuclear missiles at Israel, & the Jewish pigs have responded with 100 nuclear missiles.

Amadinejad: allah be praised, we will finally destroy the Jewish homeland. Our martyrdom will be glorious.

Iranian Radar Operator to Amadinejad: But sir, our missiles have DISAPPEARED from radar, but the Zionist missiles are almost upo......BOOM!

One thousand years later, a lone roach survives a crossing of the radioactive forbidden zone formerly know as Iran, & the cycle of life begins anew.

allah (satan) be spat upon.

China could care less because if they play there cards right, when the Dems are back in control, they will have this technology too. Then they will know how to counter it.
