Ladies and gentlemen, the press secretary for the United States Department of Defense...


Q: On the missile launch itself, a lot of critics of missile defense will seize on a failure to hit the satellite as missile defense is flawed, and this is like a manhood test for missile defense in general... Is this a prove-out again of that concept?

MR. MORRELL: There have been many successful missile defense tests to date, which lead us to believe that the system works, and that we should be building upon it. So we are taking this step, as General Cartwright made abundantly clear last week, not to test our anti-satellite capabilities. We did that in 1985. Been there, done that...

Q: Pardon me if we've gone over this, but if we've already taken down a satellite, why not use the same techniques that we did in 1985?

MR. MORRELL: Listen, you're talking -- this -- I majored in English and -- I majored in government and English. I'm not familiar with how we take down satellites.

:crazy:
