We need to educate and mobilize the populace...the bully pulpit of the White House remains deliberately vacant on this issue, unfortunately.
By chance, have you ever heard of Riki Ellison and his organization?
Note the rather startling degree of silence by the Administration post-July 4th about its slow-walk testing, development and deployments policies. Positively glacial. They seem to be taking way too much comfort in the failure of the North Korean long missile tests... It could just have easily gone the other way, with the Taepo-Dong 2 actually being successful...and word has it that they are already preparing a second test-launch right now. Did you hear this REPORT: KOREAN MISSILE WAS AIMED NEAR HAWAII
For all the talk about our having effective defenses for the North Korean threat, I am not sanguine about them. That missile burned successfully for far longer than originally reported...i.e., almost a full 4 minutes...only another two to three minutes more of burn were required!.
As it was, that four minutes of ascent was more than long enough for an Aegis NMD picket ship to have mounted a counter attack...if we had them or it was authorized. We moved a ship out there, but when their seven rockets got lit off, we did nothing.
What do you believe we should have done? What would it have accomplished?
