Bachmann: ‘China Has Blinded U.S. Satellites with Their Lasers’
Michelle Bachmann said “China has blinded United States satellites with their lasers” on Laura Ingraham’s radio show Friday. She “did not offer evidence” about the lasers, Politico’s James Hohmann notes, but Bachmann did offer that she is a member of the House Intelligence Committee and therefore can see “the nation’s classified secrets.” Not to worry, though. The nation’s secrets are safe with Bachmann. She promised, “I’m not sharing something I shouldn’t.” And info on the alleged laser warfare, she said, came from an “open source document” — what could that be? In 2006, China tested a laser on one American satellite, but did no damage to it, USA Today reported at the time. It’s unclear if that test actually blinded the satellite.
BTW, all of my Bachmann Pages are now filed under “Wierd”, not “Poltiics”
