I’m convinced the X-37 “space plane” was developed to deploy and retrieve kinetic energy weapons launch platforms. Last I heard, the first X-37 is still up there, with another coming online soon. Obozo doesn’t think we need a lot of nukes anymore, he may be correct.

Please understand that when Iran brings it's nuclear weapons online, we had better have a nuclear deterent. Otherwise we're toast.

And if you don't understand how gentle of a response that was, please take my word for it.

No, he is not correct and we invite disaster by thinking that he is.

Rods from the gods. Such happy thoughts. The only legitimate reason to draw down our nuclear arsenal, since Orbital KE weapons can do the job better, cheaper, and with less radiation to clean up afterwords. Too bad Obama would never use them.

They take too long to reach the target unless the mission is to kill 100,000 women and children, also known as "market share".

Given that the "holy grail" of Global Command/Global Strike is to have steel-on-target inside of single-digit minutes, the pre-positioned/orbital kinetic weapon is the way to go.
