[My Favorite Headache]

Obama leaves the country...hears intel on a credible threat that our coastline might be attacked by a nuclear missle? He goes to India and gets the hell out of the country to go on a trip that was canceled 2 times before at the same time spectacular UPS planes are scheduled to blow up every where in the sky.

I could see Obama easily saving his own ass and being out of the country while a quarter of us melt away.

Me, too.

At the same time I wonder if there wasn't a 'problem' like Ft. Hood on board one of our vessels. There are lots of possibilities, and few hard facts (speed, size, altitude, etc.).

I suspect that we won't be getting any answers soon.

Reasons?

It be embarassing if one of ours got launched without orders from the chain of command.

I't d be embarassing if someone else's got launched without the knowledge of our forces.

It'd be embarassing if one was launched by a malfunction or series of malfunctions, virtual or physical.

That means it's likely some bunch of yayhoos from CalTech or somesuch will take the fall before quietly getting really good jobs with a defense contractor...

Saves face all around.

Now that theory makes sense. I have wonder if the reason that Obama spends so much time out of Washington is because he fears the nation's capitol will be the target of an attack and he doesn't want to be in DC when it happens.

So does anyone know if any Islamic countries have the capability to launch a missile from a sub? Can Iran do something like that? I don't know so I'm asking more knowledgeable Freepers for this answer.

It is obvious that Obama is an American hating radical and he’s bringing our economic system down. I know he could care less about broken eggs on the way to Utopia.
