Missle Defense - 33 Minutes
The Heritage Foundation ^ | July 10, 2008

33 Minutes and Why it is Important in this New Missile Age

In January of 2009, The Heritage Foundation will release a high-definition documentary that tells the story of the very real threat that hostile nations and rogue dictators now pose to every one of us. The truth is brutal: in 33 minutes or less a missile launched at America would hit the U.S. target it was programmed to destroy. We must cause people to stop and face this horrible reality.

Aptly named, 33 Minutes: Protecting America in the New Missile Age, our documentary will be a key component in exposing our vulnerability to moms, dads and citizens across the country. The time has come to revive the strategic missile defense system that America uniquely can develop, maintain and employ for its own defense and the peace-loving world's security. Stay tuned for a complete site launch within the next few weeks which will include much more detailed information related to the film and why 33 Minutes is so important. [see videos at source]

I remember seeing a similar movie back in the 1970’s.

THIS JUST IN:

The US Congress' most serious response to the threat of nuclear annihilation of American cities
due to open, porous borders and Iranian/Pakistani nukes.

"Hey you guys, Mahmoud just launched the big one. We've got 33 minutes for the Magic Negro to dazzle Iran with his diplomatic skills,"

The concern I have had is that of ground hugging cruise missiles. Does anyone know if anything has yet been tested against this threat? If I were an Israeli, that would worry me considerably given the close friendships Iran has developed with Russia and China. Such a missile fired from a freighter just off our coastline is also a concern.

With the touchy feely congress and the prospect of Obama, I am not certain we would even retaliate if attacked by terrorists (send the FBI to arrest them!!!)

A release of this HD Film before the election would be a better move.

Something for the battlefield but CONUS is open? The one quote I get a chill out of, "We are soliciting ideas".

LOL
