The first fight between the Obama team and a member of the military leadership may be brewing -- over missile defense. Yesterday, outgoing Missile Defense Agency chief Lt. Gen. Trey Obering appeared to take a veiled shot at the incoming national security team yesterday, calling their knowledge about the interceptor effort "dated."
"What we have discovered is that a lot of the folks that have not been in this administration seem to be dated, in terms of the program," Obering told reporters. "They are kind of calibrated back in the 2000 time frame and we have come a hell of a long way since 2000.

My Comment: Missile Defense Agency chief Lt. Gen. Trey Obering has nothing to gain with the program .... he is retiring from public service, and as far as I know he is not going to work with any defense contractors. His comments on missile defense should be taken seriously, not written off as someone who is "taking a veiled shot at the incoming national security team".
