If no answer comes before the 6pm news, then this is extremely problematic and wimpy by our country. This is already not the same country I grew up in and if this falls off the news page and we have no answers, then it green lights any terrorists that they have free will to do what they want to us.

“I noted that in a later post. Perhaps they are trying to keep the area clear while searching for the remains of the missile.”

Or keeping it clear while the Reagan and Nimitz CAGs are pinging the doo-doo out of the waters to track down a Chinese sub

[McGruff]

Keep us cublicle bound informed please.

What does the “Engine Fire Disables Cruise Ship Off California” and ICBM launch have in common?

It's the "sea" version of creating a diversion to take all your first responders out so you can more easily conduct the main operation unimpeded.

Well, DRUDGE just escalated this to “Headline” level!!!

[ASOC]

“The operative word is ‘unexplainable,’” a Pentagon spokesman said.

Sounds like the “unexpected” economic failures. We are in real trouble.

Is obama supposed to talk to China while in Indonesia?
This may be a show of force. Test Obama’s mettle?

The Chinese aren't too happy about the way we are handling their money.

LA would make a great target....But maybe we could ask them to try SF while the Box, DiFi and Nasty (among others) are home?

Hardly India.

This is the strangest story in a long time. Nearly a day after a missile was launched 35 miles off the coast of Los Angeles, the Dept of Defense still claims to be investigating, but that they have no clue who launched this missile. Perhaps stranger still, no one is saying where the missile went! It had to go somewhere, it had to land somewhere. Radio silence about this fact is more than just a bit eerie.

sometimes the fish goes awry..

.

I doubt this one was armed (just a hunch)..but if it had a target.. Well.

San Nicholas Island is US territory, and that makes it well inside our territory. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl Look up San Nicholas Island and zoom out. This is definitely inside our bathing suit if you will.

You’re thinking it’s an accidental launch of one our birds before the scheduled time for the exercise?

[SCPatriot77]

Can you post a map of W537?
