Whatever happened to Bush's missile defense system aimed at Iran? December 2, 2011 9:38 pm bowser

Billions upon billions wasted in the form of bribes and hardware against a nation which doesn’t have missiles or nukes.  If that wasn’t the biggest farce since Reagan’s Star Wars it comes close.

 

But I haven’t heard much about it.  According to Bush and Cheney there wasn’t anything the US needed more.   Even more than some Spads to shoot down the Iraqi cropdusters flying off Iranian freighters with biological agents.
