I find it amusing that every word of that post is still true nearly a year later. But I have to wonder: has any critical portion of the vaunted Missile Defense Shield ever not failed?

I read this article, and it sounds like more of the same. The current excuse is that it was the silo, not the missile system, that failed. That’s like saying “the bullet is flawless, but the gun doesn’t work.”

And, assuming that this amazing system one day manages to work with better than a zero percent success rate, from whom is it designed to protect us? Some badguy with a missile, that’s for sure.

Mr. President, we cannot allow a mineshaft gap!
