Isn’t this the item that recently was proven to work well?

"Congress and the Obama administration are actually defunding the very same Airborne Laser project that has just succeeded in doing something once relegated to science fiction movies."WTF!?! It works, they just tested the damn thing! Why would they kill it now after already taking out the interceptors from Europe???
It seems every day with these idiots in charge something happens that's like a kick in the groin...

IIRC, they had a live-fire flight test which was successful.
Naturally, Zero the Communist Usurper wants to shut it down.

As I understand it, essentially yes.
This guy has one goal in mind, making sure the United States never again has even a minor influence on global dynamics.

It will take decades to undo the damage this "distasteful, malevolent little quisling punk" (Dan Riehl) is causing.

It seems to me that it was cut out of the budget because the brothers of the Communist and Terrorist Nations did not want it interfering with their atomic bomb missiles as they fire them at us or Israel.
So the brothers of the anti-American Nazi left have again done their duty to try and destroy our nation.

I wonder. True, the laser system seems to work very well against liquid fueled (thin skinned) boosters, but can same be said for relatively thicker skinned solid fuel rockets? The wall thickness on the casings can be pretty thick on these types. Do they have the necessary “oomph” to burn through them?
Again, I wonder.

I have never seen such anger among Americans.
There was a CBS News poll out in the past few days. Nearly 75 percent of those responding gave Barky a failing grade (F) for his first year in office.
To: BradtotheBone
WTF? This cannot be true.
Why junk a weapons system after all the development costs that have been sunk into it and it’s on the verge of going operational.
Especially one with such potential as this one.
A fleet of these puppies would prove of inestimable value in a number of places.
