The Bush administration warned Wednesday against threats by terrorist groups and other nations against U.S. commercial and military satellites, and discounted the need for a treaty aimed at preventing an arms race in space.

Undersecretary of State Robert G. Joseph also reasserted U.S. policy that it has a right to use force against hostile nations or terror groups that might try to attack American satellites or ground installations that support space programs. President Bush adopted a new U.S. space policy earlier this year.

I guess now we know why Bush is so damned determined to build a base on the moon.

China has been blinding our spy satellites with lasers for quite some time now.

3. How dare they do that?

Don't they know that it's our RIGHT to spy on China? I'm sure that we would never interfere with Chinese satellites peering down at our most sensitive military instillations! :sarcasm:
