Spending Spree: Bush and the U.S. Military
September 19, 2001
Listen/download helpSince the Reagan years, plans have been underway to construct a constellation of missile systems, including space weapons, under the label of national missile defense, or "Star Wars." On this program we take a look at some aspects of the Bush administration's military policy, and high-level Defense and State Department appointments made of long-time Star Wars supporters.
