The writing on the wall

And yet, despite these alarming developments in Iran and North Korea, the Obama administration has said it plans to review funding of missile defense systems, arguing that the technology must be “proven” for current deployment plans to continue. [..] Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has stated publicly that our deployed missile defense systems “could be a bargaining chip” with the Russians and the Iranians.

Does anyone doubt that, when the chips are down, we'll piss away 26 years of missile defense development? Ah, but that will make Pepe happy, so it must be a good thing to do.
