That kookie Reagan dude thinking you could shoot missiles out of the sky. What an idiot that guy was. No vision what so ever...

From NRO:

As recently as 1999, when Congress was considering funding for missile defense, Rep. Peter DeFazio (D., OR) once again invoked the old George Lucas imagery to debunk the idea. “Like the movie, this is a phantom solution — hitting a bullet with a bullet in outer space.”

Didn't that happen a Gettysburg? Seems like I saw pictures of bullets and cannon balls that had collided in air.
