2. Glad we got that bird down..
 In spite of the political game this was part of with Russia and China, this is truly an amazing technological feat and a credit to the military.

3. They now actually have a "high degree of confidence"
 that no evidence will ever emerge that they didn't shoot down the satellite, therefore they can continue to pretend that they did.

I guess the pinheads were so busying chatting about the latest conspiracy theory on DUmmyland that they missed the video of the satellite exploding.
