Subject: Fw: Homer Hickam
Homer Hickam made an interesting comment on TV this
morning. In case you don't know who he is, Homer was a poor West Va miner's son who worked his way up to being an employee/scientist for NASA. He wrote a book called "Rocket Boy" which was later made into a great movie called "October Sky."
This morning he was interviewed and said this, about the
one-shot shoot down of the crippled satellite: "If this country's head was on straight, they would be holding a ticker tape parade for the Crew of the Cruiser, USS Lake Erie..."
"This one rocket firing boosted our National defense 100
fold .
N Korea, Iran, China, Russia, all know now that we have a safety net that can accurately stop their incoming missiles even if they are out of the earth's atmosphere."
"Of course, that was the plan all along, and it was a dandy
plan. I just hope that the next person in the White House doesn't scrap the system and begin baking cookies for the enemy."
If the wrong person wins they may do just that, and that
makes me a little nervous."
"At any rate, Kudos to the Officers & Crew of the USS Lake
Erie. WELL DONE, BLUE JACKETS!!"
Funny, just last week Obama reiterated how when he's
elected he will stop all missile technology and push for nuclear disarmament. If he were president now, we wouldn't even have been able to shoot that satellite down AND show the world that we CAN protect ourselves and
will do so if the need arises.
Obamba doesn't want the rest o f the world threatened by
the creepy US of A. Something to run through the think-0-matic before you vote.
