Obama Deploys Missile Defenses That Don't Work
[quote]The Obama administration's announcement that it would spend $1 billion to deploy 14 additional antimissile interceptors in Alaska was a clever move. It sent a strong signal to North Korea -- and to China. It reassured close allies Japan and South Korea. It won praise from Republican opponents and generated great newspaper headlines: "U.S. beefs up missile defenses." It hit all the right buttons.
There is only one problem: The interceptors do not work.
The Ground-based Midcourse Defense has cost almost $40 billion, but it has not had a successful intercept test since 2008, the year President Obama was elected. It has failed to intercept targets in half of its 15 carefully scripted tests. The success rate is getting worse, not better. It hit only two targets in eight attempts since 2002. In some of these tests, the interceptors could not even get out of the silos. The problems are so bad that the Pentagon has not attempted an intercept test for two years.[/quote]

4 RepliesWhat do you expect from the current administration. They essentially dismantled our military over the last four years, and then when we get a serious threat from a crazy as -blam!- country Iran, they try to pull everything out of moth balls and expect it to work. Also, you can't fight a war without money King Obama. So do us all a favor and stop spending our country into oblivion, because you do know Iran is strong allies with China right? You think the Emperor of China is going to fork over money so we can fight a war against their ally? Oh that's right you'll just up the $45 Billion American dollars we are printing every day up to $150 Billion. There ya go lets just print the money and deal with super hyperinflation right after we defend our selves from religious zealots. I predict we are Greece in 7-10 years.
