 Blair Seeks U.S. Missile Site in BritainPosted on Feb 23, 2007
For months, Tony Blair has been secretly lobbying the U.S. to locate a missile defense site in Britain. Poland and the Czech Republic are also in the running. The $90-billion “son of star wars” program has performed poorly in the past, and is still under development as it’s deployed.

Now that Great Britain has become a state, it should get its share of the graft.

Every single high tech jet fighter the US has adopted over the last 30 years has had multiple problems and crashes during testing, until the bugs were engineered out. Eventually each new plane came to work very reliably. The early US space program crashed or otherwise failed dozens of rockets before they got one to launch successfully, before they could strap a capsule of astronauts on top. But we don’t think of the F-14 or the early US space program failures because of initial problems. So why do we criticize some failed missile tests so harshly? Some more recent tests have in fact been successful and I expect the system will continually get better as engineers work out the bugs.

How about seeking missiles aiming at his kingdom instead ?

Doesn’t anyone realize where this corporate boondoggle -“The Strategic Defense Initiative” came from? From Ronald Reagan’s scrambled brain as he recalled “Secret Service of the Air”, a “B"movie he made in 1939.

The $90 Billion so-called “son of star wars” program will become “son of the B….” plan to protect the poodle and its kingdom.
Before going to slaughter house the poodle tries to play with fire.
Animal will surely be animal no more or less !
