“More missile defense spending possible”

SNIPPET: “FORT GREELY, Alaska – Defense Secretary Robert Gates isn’t ruling out spending more on missile defense than what he’s asked for in next year’s budget if North Korea or other nations increase threats against the United States.

Gates said the missile tests by North Korea over the past week appear to have attracted more support on Capitol Hill for missile interceptors.”

*I thought Gates was cutting the program*

Gov. Palin sent notices to D.C. re the need for Missile defense. She also had in her office Generals from Air Force Pacific Command.

She let D.C. know she wants defense from North Korean milliles.
