According to Mike Goldfarb, the Missile Defense Agency is on the chopping block. Just in time for the Taepodong launch.

Your Volgi doesn’t get this at all. If we need this crazy, giant “stimulus” spend-a-palooza, why can’t we spend on defense? And what’s the justification for not working on a missile-defense system now? I mean, in the old days, there was the argument that, oh, it’ll “provoke” the Soviets and it won’t work against their ICBM force anyway. Well, they’re gone, and we’ve got North Korea with a single missile on the launch pad that could hit parts of the U.S., as well as Iran, Syria, etc., with small numbers of missiles. And we’re still against it? Why? Just on principle?

Your Volgi is beaten down by the dangerous foolishness.
