#1 Putin and Chirac have a lot in common. They are both undermining the U.S. by selling military goods and services to Islamo-dictatorships hostile to the U.S. They did it in Iraq. Now they're doing it in Iran. I wonder what Putin was paid for those satellite launches. I'm about ready to re-declare the Cold War, and this time France is on the other side. On second thought, it's just the WOT, and France and Russia are on the other side.

#3 Or how about them satellitess going out of commission right after launch for some type of error or another... Wouldn't be the first time that happened.

#4 Ah, so you want to test the anti-sat lasers and other beam toys. Okay, that's cool, heh.

#5 Awful lot of junk floating around in Earth orbit. You just never know when some random piece of trash is going to smash into a satellite. A shame when that happens! Hope Puti got the money up front.

#6 Lol, SteveS! The coolest anti-sat device might be the one that shoots nuts 'n bolts, not Z-Rays, lol!
