New space-arms control initiative draws concern
 The Obama administration is launching a new space arms-control initiative that critics say will lead to restrictions on U.S. military activities in space, a key U.S. strategic war-fighting advantage.The Pentagon's assessment of the EU draft says the code's provisions would hurt the U.S. military's space operations in several areas. The details are classified. John Bolton says, "The last thing the United States needs is a space code of conduct." The Chinese, on the other hand, could sure use a space code of conduct. That last ASAT test left a debris cloud. B.O. killed the manned US space program, so for his next trick, he will try to cripple the military program. In return for what, might I ask?
