Now perhaps we all know why that satellite was shot down last week...?
They can launch a hundred multi-stage rockets, and we can now find 100 ways to destroy it in space, and if they do not agree to international inspections then I have no argument with putting that program, if it ever exists, into practice.

Agree. Something tells me that satellite shooting could have been kept as hush-hush as those first five years of domestic surveillance if this Administration wanted it so. Another motive was to assure nothing of that satellite made it into unfriendly hands. But that's only part of the story here. This author seems compelled to persist in pushing the neoconservative agenda in the ME of capitulation or war. He and Mr. "Warfooting" Gaffney keep sounding alarm after alarm from their executive offices and DC restaurants while middle-class Americans actually, physically, totally die. While guys like Brookes and Gaffney sip their scotch, other Americans implementing the policies these guys endorsed use the first swig of water to rinse the dust and sand out of their mouths.
> Well now, you might not like Brookes' politics, but since (at least according to his bio):
" Brookes also served with the CIA's Directorate of Operations... . He also served in the U.S. Navy, including active duty in tours in Panama and Japan in aviation and intelligence/cryptologic billets. He has over 1300 flight hours aboard Navy EP-3 aircraft. Brookes is a Commander in the naval reserves."
I think he's got as much right to be respected for having worn the uniform as one who says something different (like Jeff Huber maybe)... agreed?
> And as for an ASAT system, I'd hope all - regardless of political stripe - would agree that the capability - like BMD - should be developed and ready to implement when the requirement is valid and the technology mature (hopefully before impact).
> Not that an old grunt communicator like me knows anything about these here highbrow topics... jes' a thought or two.
Your piece is enlightening. I salute you for your service to the USA. KNOW YOUR ENEMY. I am just a red neck American from Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, Alabama. I am a proud RED NECK. Yet, most folk in the world do not know the meaning of RED NECK. Please let me explain my definition of RED NECK.
The phrase RED NECK identified poor white folk who worked on a farm. Back in days when my dad, one of 10 children,was bent over a hoe in the blazing Mississippi summer's sun his neck was sun burned most all year round. Thus the term RED NECK identified country folk from city folk.
My dad was born in 1931 the number eight child of ten. His father raised the family grubbing in the Mississippi red clay sandy hills. My grand father Ivy never worked for anyone. He was self employed and told all his ten children that he would pay their way in school for as long as they went to school. So Ivy put all his children in school and payed for tuition, books, food, shelter, while grubbing a living our of the soil with his RED NECK.
I'm A RED NECK LEATHER NECK Nam vet who joined the Marine Corps in 68 to fight in the Vietnam War. So what does this have to do with Iran and nuclear missile? When my grand dad Ivy obtained his first tractor he didn't build it from scratch in the barn. Ivy purchased the tractor from Ford motor company already put together and running.
This is my question? Why would IRAN build from scratch in their nuclear barn a nuclear missile when all they have to do is go buy one at the nuclear missile store already put together and running?
My second question is why would IRAN build a nuclear reactor from scratch in their nuclear reactor barn when all they have to do is buy one already assembled from the nuclear reactor store?
I am just a RED NECK LEATHER NECK NAMVET who has killed too many folk, seen too many pieces of bodies and still hear the ENEMY out there in glorious THINK TANKS tellin me ALL WE NEED IS WAR.
What was the Jim Hensen show with Miss Piggy called, "Pigs in space", no wait they are Muslims, ah Dogs in spa..., ah no wait, Muslims again, uh let's see, Goats in Space, that's it, Goats in Space... LOL Respectfully, SUNLINER81
The USA is the Mullah, only you are not intelligent enough to see past all the US propaganda that has fooled you to believe you are brave, and are free. You are actually as good as the fanatical terrorists Muslims you think are your enemy. You are so stupid, you can't see yourself as a Muslim terrorist looking back at yourself in the mirror.
