UK Possible BMD Site
Maybe so, maybe not, from reading this article:
Interceptor missiles could be placed in the UK as part of the US "Star Wars" missile defence system, according to plans revealed by the Pentagon...
Lt Gen Trey Obering, head of the Missile Defense Agency, disclosed at a military conference in Washington this week that the US had formally selected Britain as possible site for the interceptors in Europe.
However, Bryan Whitman, Pentagon spokesman, said on Wednesday that negotiations had not taken place on basing interceptors in the UK. "[There has been] no planning, no approach, no request, and no invitation."
Even so, some aren't happy:
Placing interceptors in the UK would raise the risk of Britain itself coming under attack, warns the British American Security Information Council (Basic), an independent defence watchdog.
So the best defense is not to defend yourself??? Hmmmm...
