W. Weldon said "I just want to add that in that assessment done for the Secretary, General O'Neill tells us that we can get a 90 percent effective rate against three SS-25s that would be the likely scenario of a third world nation getting SS-25 capability. Some would argue that is not possible. I would remind my colleagues, as I know my colleague in the well knows, that it was just a few short months ago that the Russians offered to Brazil to take an SS-25 and use it for a space launch effort. So they in fact are looking at the availability of making the SS-25 architecture available for other countries." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
