While I think A1 is going a little too patriotic here*, I do like how they point out that they can shut-down an adversary's satellites without damaging components. It's kind of like saying: "Haha, I've shut off your car. Here, it's turned on again. Wait, no... I've shut it down again. Haha."
The main problem I have is that our defense policy is terribly screwed up. ASat devices and (for the love of Shoji) SDI are not what we need to be looking into these days. They were perfect for the Cold War when Soviet technology was a threat, but nowadays the countries we really have to worry about along those lines are India and China, and they have a long ways to go to be even close to what we've accomplished space-wise.
Anyhow, mankind will blow themselves up way before we get to the point of battles in space.
*I'm sure he gets this way around election time... politics stoke his fire!
