US SPY SATELLITE DESTROYED by US NAVY

Planning for the destruction of USA 193 with a missile reportedly began on January 4, 2008, with President Bush approving the plan on February 12. The task force's goal was to, "rupture the fuel tank to dissipate the approximately 1,000 pounds (453 kg) of hydrazine, a hazardous fuel which could pose a danger to people on earth, before it entered into earth's atmosphere".

On February 14, 2008, U.S. officials announced the plan to destroy USA 193 before atmospheric reentry, stating that the intention was "saving or reducing injury to human life". They said that "1,000 pounds of frozen toxic hydrazine propellant" were on board, which if it fell to Earth "could spread a toxic cloud roughly the size of two football fields". General James Cartwright confirmed that the United States Navy was preparing to launch an SM-3 missile to destroy the satellite, at an altitude of 130 nautical miles, shortly before it entered Earth's atmosphere.

An SM-3 missile, which was launched at 21 February 03:26 GMT from the Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser USS Lake Erie, hit the 5,015-pound (2,275-kilogram) satellite about 133 nautical miles (247 kilometers) over the Pacific Ocean with a velocity of about 22,783 mph (36,667 kph), according to a Pentagon statement. It was unknown whether the missile hit its precise target -- the satellite's full fuel tank. The Department of Defense said it won't know for 24 hours whether the fuel tank had been hit. The satellite's remnants are expected to burn up over the course of the next forty days, with most of the satellite's mass re-entering the atmosphere within the first 24 to 48 hours after the missile hit.






--> and we're supposed to be thanking them for destroying it? when the fact of the matter is, they knowingly endangered us by launching it in the first place because of Bush's obsession with the war that isn't even there. UNBELIEVABLE. Seriously. The man is pure evil.

And your solution would be..? Do nothing and complain loudly that Bush is evil? Allow the satellite to crash into the earth, and then really complain that Bush is evil? What action would you have authorized?

Its a right move... America should not stand idle and be obliterated by their lesser opponents...

@ VINCE RUSSO ...

We have to understand that there are a lot of FIlipinos who THINKS they know WAR / BUSINESS and POLITICS outside the Philippines .

Anyways ... if it is true , it is not a move from Uncle Sam that to put everyone at awe and deserve a gesture of appreciation because they save a small chunk of disaster that would affect the planet we call EARTH .

Lastly ... just like MALACANANG , if it involves also the Pentagon and the White House ... dont expect too much from the media specially if ELECTION time is around the corner .
