Bye Bye Star Wars!

The funny thing is that this was originally designed to beat the Soviets, whose empire collapsed under the weight of their own economic ineptitude.

One of the few things Obama has done which I can support!

Now my question is, "What's the catch?" There must be "terms and conditions" somehow.

Was a decision made because the Star Wars missile makers did not bribe the correct politicians?

I can't believe any decision would be made on rational grounds. And let's see if the reich wing will go ballistic (pun intended) and force Hopey to back down...
