Tell It To the SCUD

[The Professor]

Obama halts Missile Defense.

For the exact same REASON he promotes cap and trade in time of DEPRESSION.

IDEOLOGY.

Meanwhile, on Earth, N Korea launches an ICBM.

Whatcha gonna do about the universal bogey, Big Ears?

Talk behind his back at the UN?

Appeal to our "allies?"

The Chinese? Who laugh at you while you suck up?

The French? Tres drole!

Sarkozy turned his back.

And HIS wife does bare arms better than yours (plus, she sings!).

What good is el Presidente del Brasil, anyway?

Menta-Lee Il doesn't have blue eyes.

You actually believe you can TALK your way thru the poly-plexities of planetary super-politics?

Just cuz you CHARMED the professors at Harvard Law?

Soothed those stormiest sessions splitting the staff of The Review by stretching that sly smile?

To cease SDI cuz it's DE-stabilizing.

In a world with Pakistan, Iran, Syria, Korea, the Stans of ex-USSR...

What status quo must we maintain at the sacrifice of self defense?

Another example of AGENDA trumping REALITY.

Another case of Obama not having a CLUE what he's doing.

One more instance of a potential presidency-crushing issue encountering Obama's overused Ostrich policy.

Sure.

When Ayatollah launches a nuked up SCUD towards Tel Aviv, why shoot it down?

When you got a president convinced he can TALK it down?

At almost the exact moment on Sunday when N Korea was launching its missile, Bigears Obama was in Prague playing prophet and praying, pleading for his pretty planet with no nukes.

Politics is about timing, among many other things.

He doesn't know what the hell he's doing.

Nor what he's up against.

His grace period is running out soon.

This summer.

The evidence from these preliminary studies indicates that the

Patriot's intercept rate could be much lower than 10 percent, perhaps even

ZERO.
. . . .
What's more disturbing is that the
Pentagon knew all this and
covered it up.http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=11110

SDI?

Another multi-billion dollar Pentagon money toilet brought to you by those traitors in uniform.

The Professor is foiled by facts yet again.

But just like Moriarty, he will be back again,

A vampire rising from the crypt yet again & again.

someone talks more about cliffy than the issues

cliffy is ALL SUBSTANCE

090326-N-0000X-001 PACIFIC OCEAN (March 26, 2009) The San Diego-based guided-missile destroyer USS Benfold (DDG 65) fires a missile Thursday, March 26, 2009 during training exercise Stellar Daggers in the Pacific Ocean. Benfold engaged multiple targets with Standard Missile-2 (SM-2) Block IIIA and modified SM-2 BLK IV missiles. The overall objective of Stellar Daggers was to test the Aegis system's sea-based ability to simultaneously detect, track, engage and destroy multiple incoming air and ballistic missile threats during terminal or final phase of flight. The Benfold's Aegis Weapons System successfully detected and intercepted a cruise missile target with a SM-2 BLK IIIA, while simultaneously detecting and intercepting an incoming SRBM target with a modified SM-2 BLK IV. This is the first time the fleet has successfully tested the Aegis system's ability to intercept both an SRBM in terminal phase and a low-altitude cruise missile target at the same time.

From U.S. Third Fleet Public Affairs

SAN DIEGO (NNS) -- Commander, U.S. 3rd Fleet, Vice Adm. Samuel J. Locklear announced the completion of the fleet operational exercise, Stellar Daggers, March 26.

The scheduled event took place March 24 and 26. Command and control of the participants in Stellar Daggers resided with U.S. 3rd Fleet based in San Diego.

San Diego-based Aegis destroyer, USS Benfold (DDG 65) engaged multiple targets during this multi-event exercise with Standard Missile-2 (SM-2) Block IIIA and modified SM-2 BLK IV missiles. The overall objective of
Stellar Daggers was to test the Aegis system's sea-based ability to simultaneously detect, track, engage and destroy multiple incoming air and ballistic missile threats during terminal or final phase of flight.

During the event, Benfold's Aegis Weapons System successfully detected and intercepted a cruise missile target with a SM-2 BLK IIIA, while simultaneously detecting and intercepting an incoming short range ballistic missile (SRBM) target with a modified SM-2 BLK IV. This is the first time the fleet has successfully tested the Aegis system's ability to intercept both an SRBM in terminal
phase and a low-altitude cruise missile target at the same time.

Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD), which includes Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD), is a Navy core competency and a key warfighting capability
for the U.S. maritime strategy, which calls for credible combat power to be continuously postured to protect America's vital interests.

And they classified the entire program because so many people were asking cripplingly tough questions.

Radio beacons in the 'target'.

The vast majority of the program is a fraud.

I wish they had done the research.
I wish they had come up with something that might have actually worked.

But they deployed before they even had a working prototype.

Pentagon money toilet.

Apollo 1 is the official name that was later given to the never-flown Apollo/Saturn 204 (AS-204) mission. Its command module (CM-012) was destroyed by fire during a test and training exercise on January 27, 1967 at Pad 34 (Launch Complex 34, Cape Canaveral, then known as Cape Kennedy) atop a Saturn IB rocket. The crew aboard were the astronauts selected for the first manned Apollo program mission: Command Pilot Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, Senior Pilot Ed White and Pilot Roger B. Chaffee. All three died in the fire.

Although the ignition source of the fire was never conclusively identified, the astronauts' deaths were attributed to a wide range of lethal design hazards in the early Apollo command module. Among these were the use of a high-pressure 100 percent-oxygen atmosphere for the test, wiring and plumbing flaws, flammable materials in the cockpit (such as Velcro), an inward-opening hatch that would not open in this kind of an emergency and the flight suits worn by the astronauts.

What does that have to do with anything?

[The Professor]

The Apollo 11 mission was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. It was the fifth human spaceflight of Project Apollo and the third human voyage to the Moon. It was also the second all-veteran crew in manned spaceflight history. Launched on July 16, 1969, it carried Commander Neil Alden Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin Eugene 'Buzz' Aldrin, Jr. On July 20, Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to land on the Moon, while Collins orbited above.

The mission fulfilled President John F. Kennedy's goal of reaching the moon by the end of the 1960s, which he expressed during a speech given before a joint session of Congress on May 25, 1961:[2]

"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth."

SDI?

Another multi-billion dollar Pentagon money toilet brought to you by those traitors in uniform.

The full context of your excerpt reads:

"The results of these studies are disturbing," said Theodore Postol, the MIT scientist who studied the Patriot missile's kill rate in the first Gulf War. "They suggest that the Patriot's intercept rate during the Gulf War was very low. The evidence from these preliminary studies indicates that the Patriot's intercept rate could be much lower than 10 percent, perhaps even zero."


They were talking about the original patriot missiles back in the 1991 war - the very first missiles that weren't originally intended to intercept other missiles. They were modified on short notice. There have been 18 years of improvements since then, going through two generations. And the primary system in use now is the SM-3 missile fired from Aegis Cruisers and Destroyers. And it has nothing to do with PAC-3 systems.

[disrupter]

Saddam's SCUD missiles which is the title to the thread, in case you hadn't noticed, is where all this false propaganda about Patriot missiles began.

I think the baseless hopes have always led the programs rather than facts & reasonable expectations.

Hitting a missile with a missile? a bullet with a bullet?
You have to have a large lead time. You have to see the launch & then calculate its trajectory. Then & only then can you launch your own missile.

Anyone with a nuke can simply put it on a barge in any American [or other] port city either blow it up there or perhaps launch it from there, where it is virtually impossible to shoot down, because there is little or no lead time or even a missile to shoot down.

And then there are other evasive techniques of releasing decoy material.

This has NEVER been researched to find something that is reasonably & rationally viable as a real technology,

& anyone who feels 'safer' because there is an SDI system is being tragically misled by a bunch of bloated money hungry war-profiteer contractors.

Damn and and we have those japs convinced they wont be destoryed.

Professor Moonbeam....one of the few rules they have around this place is that you link back to your sources when you cut and paste. Otherwise it's plagiarism. But then again, a professor knows that.

Dis, we have hit a "bullet with a bullet" many times since the software and control surfaces have made improvents since 1991.

And the barge off the coast is Woolsey's "scud in a bucket" scenario I've talked about a few times in the past.
