The Death Star will be fully operational!

Yesterday the Washington Post reported, "President Bush has signed a new National Space Policy that rejects future arms-control agreements that might limit U.S. flexibility in space and asserts a right to deny access to space to anyone 'hostile to U.S. interests'."

The Administration denies this measure will lead to the weaponization of space but experts agree this step opens the door.

That's right. Rather than addressing the Republicans' total failure to adequately protect our own borders since the 9/11 attacks, the Bush Administration is moving forward on protecting us from...space invaders?

The quality of leadership Bush has shown as the commander of our armed forces in Iraq doesn't exactly inspire confidence when thinking he may next have his hand on the controls of a giant space laser.
