What Would Reagan Do?
Some people must have thought he did a hell of a job! LOL....he brought us out of the dismal years of Mr. Peanut!
Some people would put Adolph Hitlers face on Mt. Rushmore, so you can't use that as an example of competency or greatness. Reagon or raygun as he was referred to at the time, you probably don't remember that, (starwars) was the instigator of privatizing all government functions, allowing the corporations to get a foothold in government, Bush I and Cheney expanded this ad-infinitum untill the debacle we have now, a plutocracy, a government run by the elites, a government run by the few to control the many. Exactly opposite of the founding fathers ideas. It is probably too late to change it as absolute power corrupts absolutely, but Raygun and the Neocons were the Idiots that came up with that brilliant plan. So from my point of view,(and many others), Raygun was one of the worst things to happen to this country. I put him right up there with Nixon and Dubya. I think a rendering of Clintons dick would make a better addition to Mt. Rushmore, after all that was all the Repubes could get on him.

I remember that.......and the left wing laughed it up and called him nuts.
The Airborne Laser (ABL) will locate and track missiles in the boost phase of their flight, then accurately point and fire the high-energy laser, destroying enemy missiles near their launch areas.
Capabilities:
Operates autonomously, above the clouds, outside the range of threat weapons but sufficiently close to enemy territory
Engages early, destroying ballistic missiles in their boost phase of flight over launch area
Cues and tracks targets, communicating with other joint theater assets for layered defense system
Unique Technology:
Nose-mounted turret with 1.5m telescope that focuses beams on missile and collects return image and signals
Beam Control System to acquire and track targets with precision accuracy
Look for further developments of the ABL as the global threat of ballistic missiles becomes ever more prevalent.

Thank god we have people of vision from time to time.:thumbsup:

I think they have like a 25% success rate, so 75% of the missles will get through, real comforting aint it, sort of like those patriot missles, the way they overestimated their success in Gulf I, I think they really had only about a 10% success rate, about the same as a guy with a shoulder fired rocket would have. And how many billions have we wasted on those weapons? That money would have made this country better and stronger if used to re-build our crumbling infrastructure, you know Bridges and highways, port security, border security, nuclear and chemical security, things this administration has no interest in!

The Patriot system did have flaws.....while taking out the missle it left an active warhead to go off to who the hell knows where......
I would have thought the days of Mr. Peanut would have enlightened people on the need of a modern day defense but.........

There was a program on I believe public broadcasting about it. After 5 tries, they finally hit one, of course they claimed that now the succes rate would go up ~LOL~ isn't that what they always do then classify it as top secret so we'll never know the success rate, meanwhile it's business as usual with the contractor, Ratheon, GE, etc. raping our economy with worthless weaponry. They only showed the succesful launch. I don't believe the multibillion dollar flying microwave (popcorn) missle eater is up to snuff yet, but we must keep feeding the kitty, meoh, meoh

BTW I googled the success rate of anti missles and got my own post, so maybe I'm the expert,~LOL~>
