More Missile Defense Success - Does Obama Know?

Thanks to the vision of President Ronald Reagan, we not only brought down the Soviet Union and removed the threat of massive nuclear attack, we also now have a strategic missile defense system which only came online within the last year or so.

Despite having been mothballed by President Bill Clinton, President George W. Bush resurrected the program. While it's not fully complete, it has been tested and is now operational. The system was even used earlier this year to strike a falling satellite that could have been harmful if it impacted on earth.

Now there is a fresh success in the ongoing testing and improvement of this system.

From the World Tribune:

A U.S. missile defense system sought by several Middle East countries has intercepted a missile with a separating warhead.

In the first such achievement, the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD, shot down a target warhead that separated from the booster missile.


This is the kind of missile defense Barack Obama has pledged to cut spending on, calling them "unproven" missile defense systems.

Newsflash, Senator Obama: we already have a missile defense system online! It's already proven itself.

Not only does Obama not know we already have a proven missile defense system, he wants to slash what he thinks we do have.

This man simply cannot be trusted as Commander-in-Chief of this nation.
