Homer Hickam made an interesting comment on TV this morning. In case
you don't know who he is, Homer was a poor West Va miner's son who
worked
his way up to being an employee/scientist for NASA. He wrote a book
called "Rocket Boy" which was later made into a great movie called
"October Sky."
This morning he was interviewed and said this, about the one-shot
shoot down of the crippled satellite: "If this country's head was on
straight, they would be holding a ticker tape parade for the Crew of
the
Cruiser, USS Lake Erie...
"This one rocket firing boosted our National defense 100 fold. N
Korea, Iran, China, Russia, all know now that we have a safety net
that
can accurately stop their incoming missiles even if they are out of
the
earth's atmosphere.
"Of course, that was the plan all along, and it was a dandy plan. I
just hope that the next person in the White House doesn't scrap the
system and begin baking cookies for the enemy.
"Hillary or Obama will do just that, and that makes me a little
nervous."
At any rate, Kudos to the Officers & Crew of the USS Lake Erie. WELL
DONE, BLUE JACKETS!!"
Funny, just last week Obama reiterated how when he's elected he will
stop all missile technology and nuclear disarmament. If he were
president
now, we wouldn't even have been able to shoot that satellite down AND
show
the world that we CAN protect ourselves and will do so if the need
arises.
Obamba doesn't want the rest of the world threatened by the creepy US
of A.
Something to run through the think-0-matic
