I thought we could already hit any target on Earth in 30 minutes with an ICBM. Once you get to orbit, you are going around the Earth in a hurry.

Who cares about two hours? By then the enemy could have retaliated and we'd all be dead.

I fail to understand why we need a cruise missile with such a long range. Maybe this cruise missile would be a lot more accurate than an ICBM. Is that it?
