The country?s missile defense system passed a crucial test today as an interceptor missile launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California picked off a target missile over the Pacific Ocean, the Pentagon announced.
?I?m pleased to announce that the test that we executed today was a total success,? General Obering, the director of the Missile Defense Agency, said at a news briefing. ?In fact, it exceeded even our primary objective on the test. And we also met all the secondary objectives of the test.?

Over the objections of the liberal trash of his generation, Ronald Reagan instituted the "star wars" missle defense system. It was soundly ridiculed by the liberal trash.
Considering the UN will not keep ANYONE from obtaining nuclear technology or long range missle capability, we're given another example of Reagan's keen understanding of the world. Thank god he had the vision to begin this program 20 some years ago.
