Test Of Idea Of Missile Defense Shield SuccessfulJune 7th, 2001
PENTAGON -- After World War II President Eisenhower's military advisors accomplished the concept that the threat of nuclear weapons, not their actual use, could be a an instrument of destruction both practical and powerful.
Today current Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield has new solutions. "In field tests performed in the last few weeks in Washington," said Pentagon spokesperson Rear. Adm. Craig Quigley, "the idea of a missile defense shield proved an extremely effective deterrent for education and prescription drug reform." However critics complain that a mistake could cost innocent lives or cause Republican Senators to switch parties and has been reviled by allies and opponents alike. The European Union, in addition to a rapid defense force has also proposed an "atmospheric defense shield" that would protect the European continent from harmful emissions from "rogue states." The administration says it does not support the EU plan, and has blocked a similar proposal from the planet Earth to build an "ozone shield" to protect the body from "rogue stars." Bush explained, "First of all, technically a star can't be a 'rogue'- it can't hide or run away or anything. It's pretty much fixed where it is." |
