The U.S. already deploys 3 layers of anti-missile protection courtesy of President Bush:

1. 30+ GMD mid-course interceptors in Alaska, California, and 1 in Huntsville, Alabama.

2. 2,500+ boost phase, mid-course, and terminal phase SM-2 and SM-3 interceptors on 27 AEGIS destroyers and missile frigates around the world.

3. Large numbers of Patriot terminal-phase interceptors on army bases around the U.S.

The above is substantial-enough that the 4th phase, the Airborne Laser, was mothballed due to lack of a threat.

“interceptors in Alaska, California, and 1 in Huntsville, Alabama.”
