Obama Puts Kibosh on Bush’s Space Cadet Ideas for Space-Based Weapons

by Michael Bryan

Most people can rattle off many of the bad decisions and harmful policies of the Bush years. But one little-known policy vital to our national security and our economy that Bush worked very hard to get dead wrong is space-based weaponry. I wrote about the issue back in 2004 and again in 2006.

Obama has the foresight to take steps to rectify the situation in his first 100 days. I feel so much safer knowing that our national security is once again in the hands of someone who understands that true security requires more than just having more and bigger guns than everyone else, and a reputation for psychotic behavior.
