“Gates, a Republican who served in senior positions under former President George H.W. Bush and his son, former President George W. Bush, wrote in an opinion article for the New York Times that the criticism of the plan is misguided.

“I believe this is a very pragmatic proposal. I have found since taking this post that when it comes to missile defense, some hold a view bordering on theology that regards any change of plans or any cancellation of a program as abandonment or even breaking faith,” Gates said.

The objective of the missile plan is to counter the threat of missile attack from Iran, not Russia.

The Bush plan was intended to intercept long-range Iranian missiles, but Iran has yet to develop long-range missiles and U.S. intelligence recently determined that Tehran is unlikely to have such missiles until between 2015 and 2020.

As a result, Gates changed the plan to counter the possibility of short- and medium-range missiles.”

No they didn’t. It was a small two stage rocket they built. Russia did this in 1957. Other countries will also. Your country isn’t the only country in the world that likes to do things.

I'd say that is at least as good- more to follow.

All Hussein has managed to do is make our erstwhile allies and friends not trust us- and Russia didn't have to give up a thing- well, perhaps GE will profit- so maybe another of Hussein's buddies, and a member of his staff, Jeffery Immelt will profit. I seem to remember that this was a problem when Cheney was VP- all you lefties were howling about something, what was it? Oh yeah- "conflict of interest"- do you think perhaps there might be a little of that going on? I mean, even after GE was caught being reach- around buddies with Iran? Hell- I can smell the hypocrisy and treason from here, and I live in Texas.

Like Blake said, if they can put a satellite in space then they have long range capability. The issue was not them being allowed to have a satellite, it was a refute of Obama's claim that they have short and mid range only. Therefore, the long range missile threat does exist.
