Missile defense shield test fails

The very anti-american, liberal newspaper, BBC, is reporting that the latest test of the Missile Defense Shield failed.

Big Whoop.

The system is never going to be perfect and some missles will get through the shield. The story reports that it has worked 5 times out of 8 attempts. Sure, that is only 60% of the time, but is that so bad for a system that is under development.

Even if that is the best results that they ever get, I feel safer knowing that only 3 missles out ever 8 that are shot at us may make it through rather than knowing that all 8 will make it through.

I have never understood why there is detractors to this kind of defense system. It is not aggresive in natrue and protects us from rogue countries. I can not think of one reason that this kind of spending on this kind of system would be illegitamate.
