Raytheon builds the Standard Missile 2 and makes the radar for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system. US Defense Secretary Robert Gates intends to increase funding for both as he plans other missile-defense cuts. The systems have received more attention following an April 5 rocket launch by North Korea....
No wonder the news media LIED ABOUT the Korean launch!

Just think of all that loot lost on lies as your kid dies without health care or his school closes. I don't even want to comment anymore I am so ill by the endless looting, lying, and war promotion of the propaganda press.
