Re: "Yes that's a possibility but a very small one in this situation." Your personal assessment.... However many missile defense technical experts are saying that moving --- even more rapidly then Bush --- to actual deployment of TESTED and effective missile defense systems (the Aegis technology) positioned directly to negate Iran's offensive capabilities, gives us immediately a greater defensive ability. And, layering-on land-based ABMs when they become proven and available will just strengthen our capabilities on down the road. (While possibly very slyly side-stepping the negative political reactions that were bringing harmful blow-back with the not-quite-fully-baked Bush proposal.)
