And if someone does launch a naughty missile, it's comforting to me that we can shoot missiles out of the sky. Win/win.
Dang! Does Obama know about this?
Thanks to a REAL president...Ronald Reagan!
“I wonder at what level the release of information like this has to be approved?”
Hopefully the military is not like the dems/bigmedia, so it would be more a case of disapproving it, rather than approving it.
Especially when critical programs like ACORN are in need of funding.
That would be perfect for the FR Troll Patrol!
I think most of the civilian targets are liberal infested hell-holes already. Let the military intercept and stop the missiles headed for the bases and defense installations.
Isn’t Obama cancelling this?
“I think”
that’s the key thing. They’re not as bad as we’re led to believe. Just look at what happened in MA. The cities have less than 50% liberals, ie. the minority. There are a lot of people who are looking for work & trying to get by. But the myth that the liberals dominate in the cities is so string that conservatives stay home in droves, and hence dems take over, redistrict, dominate the civic structure, and they DO get total control.
“They used to teach duck and cover because it was a sound defensive measure, because most deaths were caused by flying glass & etc”
THANK YOU, i get so tired of that being ridiculed. Speed of a shockwave, about 5 seconds per mile. Nuke hits 8 miles away. You have 30-40 seconds. When the shockwave hits, would you rather get smashed by bricks, glass, etc,,, or laying flat in the gutter (or under your desk) as that stuff flies past you?
It was harmless to people unfortunate enough to be too close, but life and death for those just outside the worst zone.
Too bad the current President is too weak to see it that way.
Even Clinton was far better than the current occupant. When asked what would be the response if North Korea used a nuclear weapon, he responded “There would be no more North Korea.” Just can’t say it plainer than that. The current occupant? It would be considered a “teachable moment” (read heavy head trip for the American public), maybe a beer, kimchi and dog with Kim Jong Il.
I wonder how accurate this is...I guess once I wake up I’ll read the article.
After Obama’s coup in 2012, these will be used on protesters.
“What happens if the missile is carrying a nuclear warhead?”
It falls to earth somewhere other than where the enemy wanted it to. It ruins the day for anyone nearby BUT...
It misses its target; that’s the important thing.
Hmmm...what if the fuselage (or whatever it’s called) of the incoming missile is polished to a mirror finish?
“Do you expect me to talk?”
“No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die.”
Great dialog.
Not likely. It's boost phase or we're hosed.
“Well, it gets converted to the fundamental elements...”
Not exactly. The weapon was used against the booster rocket, NOT the incoming warhead. Like the Patriots being used against Saddam’s SCUDs, we hit the airframe and destroy the trajectory; ruining the targeting. The warhead WILL land somewhere, just not where it will do the enemy any good!
Oh yeah??? Well check this Iran, “The Outer Space Treaty, formally known as the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies, is a treaty that forms the basis of international space law.”
That treaty prohibits nukes in space,,,read it and weep Iran!
Bam!! It’s illegal!! Try again ahmadinejad! We have a law for anything you could dream of trying! And a law lecturer for aPresident!! He’s so screwed!!!! LOL
