Bush will seek funding of orbital anti-missile satellites

The first shoe dropped on 19 October, 2006 and now the other one drops.

A story on a conservative media site is claiming that the Bush Administration will ask Congress to fund development of an "orbital battle station," aimed at destroying missiles launched against the United States.

The article, published by Pajamas Media, attacks Democrats' opposition to an missile defense system and alleges that such orbital 'stations' would actually be satellites carrying 40 to 50 small "kill vehicles" that would attack enemy missiles during their initial ascent.
