Is this source really reliable? I am skeptical because of his comments about billions of dollars being wasted on developing ballistic defense systems that "don't work." Thomas Edison's early attempts at making light bulbs were not very successful either. Fortunately, Edison was not so quick to abandon a worthwhile goal.

This country is currently almost defenseless against ICBMs and although our advanced ABM systems are far from perfect, they will be effective someday if we continue to invest in their research and development. It is a dead certainty that they will never be effective if those programs are defunded.
