Man you must be on some shit today brother!
I think you are right, also it is an opportunity for the enemies of America to pipe up. And on goes the news cycle until 234.4559 hours from now when no one cares!

Until somewhere, someday, an entire population wakes up and finds out that all means of electronic communication are 86'd! Imagine selectively targeting satellites or even better keeping soldier sats up with the mission of seeking and destroying other sats.

Or even better, that all electronics cease to operate period, instant 100% Electronic Blackout. Nothing! All the oil in the world won't matter at all. Imagine a bomb detonating in proximty to a target but still in the air, and within a range instantly frying every electronic circuit within the target area rendering them useless.
CHANGE BABY!

10 millon is kinda a drop in the bucket in the scheme of things when you consider the potential future uses for this technology and the technology that will be built ontop of the current.
Does that make sense?:wtf:

Kinda makes "oil dependancy" seem like a worry from yesterday. Yeah go ahead turn off the pipes dummy see how good that works when we really do literally put you "back into the stone age." I think this is the next generation type of stuff that we are seeing. How exciting is today, what with the space shuttle coming back, the lunar eclipse, and the satellite that we are going to use as an example, wow what a great day! Technology Wars! America is always leading the way and I suspect this is the beginning of a new way for America to use it's might to leverage the rest of the world!!!
Fuck yeah!
