Now we have two presidents who have both found it critical to spend billions of dollars on missile defense in Europe. Maybe the "nay-sayers" about missile defense will get a clue now that the Messiah is on board. That is, MAYBE, just maybe, missile defense is a smart and necessary move.
Obama scraps Bush-era missile defense for new plan
The United States is overhauling Bush-era plans for a missile defense shield in Eastern Europe, based partly on the latest analysis of Iran's offensive capabilities, President Obama said Thursday.The "new missile defense architecture in Europe ... will provide capabilities sooner, build on proven systems and offer greater defenses against the threat of missile attack than the... program" that former President George W. Bush proposed, Obama said.Obama said the change of gears was based on an "updated intelligence assessment" about Iran's ability to hit Europe with missiles.The Islamic republic's "short- and medium-range" missiles pose the most current threat, he said, and "this new ballistic missile defense will best address" that threat.
