Check this out. The Pentagon just released they are going to shoot down a broken spy satellite before it hits the earth in early March. Can you imagine what kind of shock wave this might send through out the world? If we can successfully accomplish this it will show Iran, N. Korea, Russia, and other countries with either nuclear programs, or countries trying to establish nuclear power that we have the ability to knock out a (nuclear or biological) missile launch from another country. Personally I think this is a huge statement our country is making. The best part is the Pentagon is able to flex the US military muscle tactfully, non harming, or in a threatening way.

About the same kind as when the Chinese did this a year ago?
