A Familiar Missile Defense Proposal Haunts Washington The Biden administration's latest proposal for a missile defense system has been met with skepticism by critics who point out that this is not the first time Washington has considered such a plan.
The current initiative bears an uncanny resemblance to a similar project hatched during the Clinton era, known as Project Force.
Project Force was championed by then Defense Secretary William Perry in the mid 1990s and aimed to create a layered defense system capable of protecting the US against ballistic missile attacks from rogue states or terrorist groups.
