Ronnie was right all along on STAR WARS!

My son was a part of this test at the Kauai site. One of the Engineers that built and launched the target missle -- sorry just a Dad puffing his chest out a little.

If we whack NK's missile, you'll hear the libs screaming.

The Aegis system is becoming unbelievably potent.

In the future, we'll be firing off "hijacker interceptors".

Our missile defense will one day intercept and latch onto the warheads and guide them back to their point of origin.

One day.

Looks like we're preparing to knock NK's missile out.

[ChadGore]

It's a HIT !

[baseball_fan]

can we intercept before it hits Tokyo?

[pissant]

I've seen vids of some of the technology used in missile defense. Very nifty stuff.

What a change from a few years ago....Missile defense is succeeding. Tom Daschle sank, then disappeared.

Daschle embarassed himself when he attempted to ridicule supporters of the missile defense program. He meant to imply that they were mindless, but made himself look like an idiot.

June 8, 2001:
Tom Daschle, newly reseated Senate Majority Leader,* says
of the Missile Defense program "This isn't rocket science here"

Here is an exact transcript of Daschle's words.

Whether or not we want to violate the ABM treaty
especially with a concept [NMD program] that we may not know
...or...
that we do know now does not work
is something that also mystifies me.
I mean
Every aspect of the debate and the consideration
that is given this whole program
is... is troubling to me.
I... I mean... I...there's a disconnect there.
I mean...It just seems common sense....
I mean...there's no brain..
This isn't rocket science here...

Yes it IS rocket science....
that's the problem..
Hadn't thought about that..
As I just think out loud ....
as I meander through here.
