I see that you don't know the reputation of our Texas "metal savagers." If they can steal the copper wire right out of the light towers on the freeways I'll guarantee that you'd see a beryllium tank full of hydrazine show up on Fort Worth's north side at the metal scrap yard.
Like I said before, better chance than hitting a ICBM, but certainly isn't a done deal. Makes it easier since we know the trajectory. BTW...China already has shotdown a satelitte.
And we send unmanned spacecraft to visit the outer planets, neither has anything to do with shooting down the satelitte.
You said it is a 50/50 chance of hitting it because it was traveling at 24K mph. Please explain how docking with the space station traveling roughly that fast is different than hitting a satellite with a missile?
I heard it's actually a space station full of Astro Ninja pirate Zombies put in orbit by the Democrats to protect the endangered Astro Ninja pirate Zombies which had been roundhouse kicked by Chuck Norris to the brink of extinction.
And getting two objects in space at the same location with a relative speed differential of zero requires no skill.
Actually the only guaranteed way of making sure we hit the satellite is with a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick, since it obvioulsy travels much faster than 24K mph and never misses a target.

"There has to be another reason behind this," said Michael Krepon, co-founder of the Henry L. Stimson Center, a liberal arms-control advocacy organization. "In the history of the space age, there has not been a single human being who has been harmed by man-made objects falling from space." FIGHT IT!! FIGHT IT!!! If Bush ordered it damn it, FIGHT IT!!!!
Maybe if we put a little door on the missile's nosecone and "dock" it with the satellite, it will work.
Yes this should work, This way we can send Chuck Norris up in the missile, he can reach through after they dock and crush the satellite with his iron grip
Chuck round housed kicked the guys who suggested that they fly him into space to round house kick the satelite. Chuck doesn't ride anyone's rocket, chicks ride Chuck's!
