I'm sure you have heard that the Russians are a little pissed we are going to shoot on of our own satellites out of the air.  I have been waiting since the day I heard about it to see which one of the local conspiracy pushers would bring up the plan as laid out by the Russians. I am surprised a Russian beat one of you to it.

My theory was a little different. Since hearing of the number of people who could be affected by such a crashing bomb as the fuel tank on this thing, I figured we were taking advantage of its nearing reentry to bump it onto a course that would drop this baby right in the middle of Tehran.

I like the Russian theory more. We have been planning this since the launch to test our newest super ballistic weapon defense system. Wow. Bush never would have thought of that, he's too stupid remember..

Oh well, I hope it works and we hit the tank destroying the fuel.

That would work to both protect the planet and a possible land encounter with this deadly substance and show the Russians that, "Yep, we really can do that".

But what would I know; I'm just an Average American.
