The greatest strategic threat to the United States is an attack by one or more ballistic missiles armed with nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction. Today, the United States remains completely vulnerable to this form of attack.

Missilethreat.com is dedicated to explaining this threat, and the urgent need for robust and layered missile defenses. Systems based on land, sea, air, and in space which are capable of intercepting a missile during any phase of its flight are necessary to provide for the common defense.

        Spring also points out—as Bush also pointed out in his December 2002 National Security Policy Directive 23 ordering the deployment—that the president is bound by the 1999 law, that makes it the policy of the United States to deploy a missile defense as soon as technologically feasible.  (Article)
