National Common Sense Defence

It was reported today that the Bush Administration's missile defence system test failed for the third straight time in almost the same way. It is evidence of the waste of money this program represents at a time of soaring deficits. It is also nearly useless to counter the types of threats the U.S. faces in the coming decades. It is another story of how the Bush Administration chooses to follow the Reagan neo-con agenda over what is best for the country.
