Heritage’s new missile defense blog, 33 Minutes, has a complete report on last night’s successful missile test in Hawaii. The intercept was the fifth successful test for THAAD system in five attempts, and marked the 29th of 30 successful tests conducted since September 2005.

Keep up the good work!
Where are all the naysayers about how missile defense is not technologically feasible? Another great illustration about our military capabilities and the absolute, straight faced, clueless ignorance of the Left. God or somebody help us if these people get a bullet proof majority in November.
