One shot, one kill! A little message to Red China and Putins Russia - our military is the best and anyone who messes with us will regret it.
Courtesy comment:
I wonder if we will be able to say that after say a President Clinton or Hussein Obama have downsized our military to appease our enemies.

Three missiles were modified to hit the target. Adjustments to the targeting parameters.
One missile per ship just in case.
Per Ronald Reagan, trust but verify X three.

A missile has hit an errant spy satellite about 140 miles above Earth, a U.S. official saysI wish they could have made the hit with a land based missile over ConUS. What a sight! Mid eclipse; Saturn and Regulus as witnesses. If my taxes pay for the production, why can't I see the show?

All the MSM was claiming that it would totally embarrass the military if the strike failed but it looks like the MSM should be the ones embarrassed.

When some CNN science expert described how difficult hitting the satellite might be, Blitzer whined that even after spending all those millions on star wars they couldnt be sure of a hit.Liberals must be SO disheartened at our military's success.....all those dollars could that could have been spent here on for the 'more deserving',,,not to mention Al Gore being devastated by the effect on global warming that the missile launch caused....lol

I like the sound of this so much, I'm going to emphasize it.
From AP:
Navy plan to shoot down spy satellite succeedsExtraordinary operation requires steady seas and optimum positioning It didn't take long for them to tone it way down, however. Now it's "Navy missile strikes dead satellite."
Some patriot got chewed out by his leftist hag boss.
