Ok, this whole “blowing a spy satellite out of the sky with a missile even though it costs a gajillion dollars” story is just too juicy to not come up with some conspiracy theories, isn’t it? We’ve been chatting it up at work this morning and have come with a couple of options.
1) We (the U.S. of A.) didn’t really care where the damn thing landed, but we couldn’t afford to risk another axis of evil-doing country finding it and seeing what we’ve been up to. We may have been acting a little naughty/illegal.
2) We (the U.S. of A.) didn’t really care where the damn thing landed, but we wanted to take advantage of the situation and do a little sword-rattling. In other words, it doesn’t matter what you send at us, evil-doers, we can shoot it out of the sky just. Like. That. So HAH!
3) We (the U.S. of A.) didn’t really care where the damn thing landed, but shooting a satellite out of the sky is just serious, serious fun! We don’t care how much it costs! Whoopeee!!
What do you think? Anyone have any more juicy theories?
Are you kidding? #3 all the way! AWESOME, but I’m waiting for a ‘chunk the size of a football’ (today show) to hit some Hawaiian’s roof within the next 24 hrs.
Bet??
The U.S? Evil Doers? Being anything less than honest? Really?
I don’t believe there’s a conspiracy theory. We’re such a straight and narrow country.
*shoots stuff out of the sky* WHOOOPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Blowing shit up is real fun, like.
Isn’t all fuel toxic?
1. Thank you for posting and getting that scary picture away!
2. I love the serious fun theory. I’m going with that one!

Just wondering… did this statement shock you? As if they would say anything less....
“AP: Pentagon says analysis of spy satellite debris shows last week’s shootdown hit the craft’s fuel tank and destroyed its toxic fuel.”
