stratfor: slacking in austin

[t byfield]

stratfor, as the joke on panix goes, fale us wunce agane:

   The United States successfully tested a prototype anti-ballistic

   missile system on Sept. 2, when an "exoatmospheric kill vehicle"

   intercepted and destroyed an unarmed Minuteman rocket over the Pacific

   Ocean. This marks the first step towards missile defense systems

   designed to intercept limited attacks by "rogue" states like North

   Korea, Iran or Syria. <...>

'first step?' yeah, except for that $40 billion and ten years
spent on SDI--but who's counting?

cheers,
