Officials Say U.S. Spy Satellite Will Re-enter The Atmosphere In About A Month

The satellite is reported to be carrying schoolchildren back from a field trip.

How about if Dubya heads up in the shuttle, gets a rope around it and slingshots it out into space? He can do it. At least, in his mind, he thinks he can do anything!

Must have bought this piece of junk from Wal-Mart.

Geez, the Americans are always causing problems. The very least they could do is make sure it lands on their turf, don''t ya think?:)

Not true. The American public would be shocked at the level of capability of our photo recon satellites. The intel can be misused by the politicians. But they still know exactly what they are looking at. How they choose to spin it is up to the "leadership".

The buzz in an article at Rense.com is that it contains plutonium...

The value of photo-reconnaisance to U.S. foreign policy came crashing to the ground 5 years ago with the buildup to the Iraq invasion. Time and again ''evidence'' of Saddams Weapons of Mass Destruction were spotted by orbiting telescopes that could easily have been refuted if the CIA has only invested in some good ol'' fashioned human intelligence on the ground.

Turns out patterns in space-photos can be anything you want them to be, and the guys charged with INTERPRETING those photos were all right-wing idealogues, anxious to send other men into Iraq for peace, freedom, and the American way.

What goes up! Must come down! Now if it could only hit mortgage companies and banks...

===THEN, and only then- after the multi billion dollar lawsuits will we be rid of these dam spy weapons and other krap they keep spilling in space for war.===

===That should send fragments all over lower orbit and ruin all the rest of the spy satellites. Presto, no more threats. No more phoney intelligence about WMD somewhere.===

What, are you guys retarded? Don''t let Bush''s stupidity, deceptions and ineptness make you lose your perspective. Russia and China have spy satellites and we sure as hell need them too. Satellites do things like monitor compliance with nuclear weapons treaties and are key to the defense of the US. Just because Bush misused intelligence doesn''t make getting intelligence bad.

If the satellite hit Bush and took him out, then I''d renounced atheism and believe in God.
