North Korea. Iran. Syria. China. Russia. Venezula.
The list of countries that hate us includes many that either have access to, or may soon have access to Nuclear Weapons. Fortunately, National Missle Defense has been a priority of Bush(43), and we currently have several of the key pieces operational.
LAUNCH PHASE
- Airborne LASER (ABL) [Animation] - in development
- Kinetic Energy Interceptor (KEI) - in development
MIDCOURSE
- Ground Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) - semi-operational
- Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense - Operational
TERMINAL PHASE
- Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) - in development
- PATRIOT Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) - Operational
- Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS) - in development
I won't be holding my breath for the MSM to report on any of these systems except when an intercept test fails.
UPDATE (Feb '08): The U.S. shot down a failing satelite. If it had failed, the MSM would be shouting NMD doesn't work, it's a waste of money, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
UPDATE (June '08): The Democratic Presidential nominee Barrack Obama wants to scrap NMD. &%$#@! idiot.
