Couple points:

Shooting down that spy satellite did not prove the effectiveness of our missile defense system.  Shooting down a satellite is a feat of engineering, but it is not a test of the missile defense system.  It only proves that the missile defense system hardware can be adapted to shoot down a satellite given an indefinite amout of time to plan the shootdown.  The Chinese shot down a satellite without having a missile defense system.

Regarding cutting the wasteful spending-- do you think it is a bad thing to cut wasteful spending?  John McCain correctly has criticized wasteful Pentagon spending on innumerable occasions.  For example:

Using uncongenial words such as "offensive," "appalled" and "ashamed," McCain recently picked apart an $8.6 billion military-construction appropriations bill that he said included $900 million in spending projects that the Pentagon hasn't included in its budget request; therefore, he contends, they are not priorities. McCain calls these projects political pork that were added by senators to curry favor with their constituents. The legislation's sponsors, on the other hand, call them national imperatives.

"If the Republican leadership and chairmen of these committees continue to spend taxpayers' dollars in this profligate manner," said McCain, "sooner or later the American people will repudiate these actions." Singling out a $1.5 billion project added by Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott of Mississippi for an amphibious-assault ship program never requested by the Pentagon, McCain called it and other add-ons "the abrogation of our responsibilities to average taxpayers," who are being muscled out of the process by special interests and favored industries.

Do you think that McCain is saying "Who needs a strong defense anyway?"
