I'm just waiting for Yorick to butt in and start talkling about the Empire of America.

Seriously, I don't like this either. Why spend so much money on something like this? The US already have a military dominance in the World. The countries they mentioned in the War on Terrorism ( such as the Axis of Evil) don't have the ability ( or a very limited one ) to send intelligence gathering satellites into space. Is this only another attempt to secure their foothold as the dominant military force? A hint to China, perhaps?
