BULLSHIT!The Iron Dome is not Reagan's failed Star Wars boondoggle. The Iron Dome is being funded since 2011 by OBAMA and was NEVER funded by Reagan.Reagan was long retired in 1991. Star Wars was a crony capitalism boondoggle at its finest, and a complete waste of taxpayer dollars.The final straw came after a failed coup in 1991 that involved the kidnapping of Gorbachev himself. The group that kidnapped Gorbachev tried to take control of the military, but the members of the military rebelled, which led to a period of widespread civil unrest. Shortly thereafter, the Soviet Union collapsed."
Reagan outspent them and the straw that broke the Camels back was the Star Wars program you lefty asshole mocked.
Why don't you tell that to the Israelis. LMFAO
The Iron Dome is a much improved version of the Patriot Missile System that was deployed in Israel and Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf war. The Patriot Missile was the original Star Wars program.
The Patriot, was an Army initiative that got no financial aid whatsoever from Star Wars. In fact, there are many who say the SDI held back the development of the Patriot!
"We would have been farther along without S.D.I.," said Senator Malcolm Wallop, a Wyoming Republican who has long championed anti-missile weaponry. "The whole program was designed to study forever and build never. It hurt more than it helped."
Q. What does the Patriot system do?
A. It shoots down incoming rockets and missiles in flight.
Q. What does the SDI system do?
A. It shoots down incoming rockets and missiles in flight.
End of story.
