Mr. Bush is expected to announce the decision today, with Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and other defense officials then describing the details of the deployment plan.Thank, my FRiend !! Good article.The decision comes a year after the United States withdrew from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty to allow more effective research and development of a system to shoot down long-range and short-range missiles. It also fulfills a presidential campaign promise Mr. Bush made in May 2000.
Don't forget, Rumsfield, that it was your advisor committees who provided the money and missle technology to those same rogue states posing a threat to the U.S. And of course, the U.S. has a limited defense. We gave our missle techology away to those rogue states. As much as I am suspicious about Col. Lunev's position in exposing what the enemy states have against us, we have much to blame for dealing with them in the first place.
