President Bush Says Shoot it Down

Feb 19, 2008

A first for the US military and it could happen as early as next week. President Bush has decided to attempt shooting down a rouge US spy satellite in space before it re-enters the earth’s atmosphere in early March. A volatile fuel on board the satellite could cause severe damage and injury upon impact, so after much debate Gen. James Cartwright, a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says “we’re better off taking the attempt, than not”.
