Why is the Times publishing an opinion piece by two war criminals??

Hands Off the Heavens

By JOHN R. BOLTON and JOHN C. YOO

OUTER space has become the next frontier for American national security and business. From space, we follow terrorists and intercept their communications, detect foreign military deployments, and monitor a proliferation of unconventional weapons. Our Global Positioning System gives us targeting and tactical advantages, spacecraft create image-rich maps, and satellites beam data around the world.

But instead of advancing American primacy in this realm, the Obama administration has wrongly decided not only to follow a European Union draft “code of conduct” regulating outer space, but also to circumvent the Senate’s central constitutional role in making treaties.

Are apparently in favor of kinetic weapons?

They base the whole thing on speculation and one ambiguous announcement from the CFR.

What a pantload.

the Opinion page in today's Times. Both of these fuckers should be in Leavenworth making little rocks out of big ones for the rest of their misbegotten, rotten lives.
