Okay, Weapons Geeks, Set Phasers to “Drool”
Alternately, Dick Cheney could just stare at it for three seconds…
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Pentagon is planning to shoot down a broken spy satellite expected to hit the Earth in early March, The Associated Press has learned.
U.S. officials said Thursday that the option preferred by the Bush administration will be to fire a missile from a U.S. Navy cruiser, and shoot down the satellite before it enters Earth’s atmosphere.
The Bush administration is so not the only one who loves this option. I’d prefer the option that brings the satellite down on a certain remote and forbidding area in Pakistan/Afghanistan in a Tunguska-like apocalypse of Islamist-killing fury but if they could actually guide the satellite, they wouldn’t have to shoot it down.
