#2 No. We will shoot down they litter rocket pee on it and introduce cabbage virus number 3 to the pennisula. All the while broadcasting the Muppets 24 hours a day.

#3 Something sounds odd here. I wonder if much of this is a ruse from the real anti-missile system: air- and space-borne lasers and rail gun weapons?
That is, 747s that try and hit the missile just after launch; then spaceborne systems of whatever type that try to hit it enroute; and *then*, finally, an "interceptor", if the other two fail.

I suppose it makes sense to unveil your *last*
measure of defense *first*, strategically.

#5 I'm surprised the enviros didn't object to this and take the government to court to stop it.

How dare we possibly harm a blade of grass or an insect with a war machine just to protect our country from attack!
