Op-Ed Contributor - A Better Missile Defense for a Safer Europe - NYTimes.com
Bravo for Secretary Gates. He makes a reasoned argument for the announced change in deployment strategy and technology for missile-defense in Europe.
In a former life I worked in the ABM systems that the army was testing to counter Soviet Cold-War ICBMs. Then I was amazed at the technology we had available. At that time we had the capability to destroy outside the atmosphere Multiple Independently-Targeted Reentry Vehicles (MIRVs). Now the developments and capability must be astounding.
I support Gates and TeamObama's decision to deploy a different, more effective system earlier than that originally proposed for Poland and the Czech Republic.
