@Lifeofthemind:
Army… does tactical missile defense…. Theater Area Air Defense (THAAD) is an Army program…

OK, got it. Then WTFITA? [you to figure the acronym].

Actually, it is “better” (geopolitically) if we unveil “Army” anti-missile defenses throughout Georgia just a moment before the Georgians start bleeding those @#$% Russkies to death, awful death. Just sayin’ y’know?

HOWEVER, who knows if we have enough of them (missile systems and Phalanxi, not Russkie targets–are you blood-thirsty or what??)? Hell, chances are we’re gonna need a lot of them in Israel any day now, not to mention the Gulf coast from Texas to Florida…
