Is that a brilliant move by POS defense secretary Gates? With threats all around us, from North Korea and China and Iran, he scales back a project that could shoot down their planes with a high-energy laser… What a brilliant idea!
I have it on very good authority that this move has now saved us 0.00001% of the federal budget.
I have problems with Gates and the advice he may be getting
Scales back the project , then says it doesn’t work as

where that came from?
