First it was a commercial jet, then It’s a commercial rocket. Given the size and location of the thing, though, wouldn’t we already have an idea of who the culprit was? Presumably there’s a short list of commercial entities capable of boosting a bird that big. And if it was fired from a land-based platform, surely someone had to have seen the launch preparations. So why the confusion today?
It’s one of ours but is being officially denied because it’s part of some secret operation. If that’s true, though, why launch it so close to the coast where people will see it and buzz about it? Alternately, if it’s a show of strength to China or Asia generally, why not do it further out in the Pacific? You’re not showing much strength if you’re firing it off in your own backyard. And in fact, one military official says that an exercise like that wouldn’t be held so close to a population center.
The other side to this is we The Obama Administration are claiming the Chinese have a super stealth submarine that can get within 35 miles of our coast and launch a ICBM submerged? IF they did have such a weapon why would they expose it to us in such a public manner. Has anybody watched "THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER" THE RUSKIES KNOW HOW TO KEEP A SECRET!
If it did come from the water and it’s really not a U.S. operation, then presumably it’s from an enemy sub. Relations with China have been souring, and they’ve made their opposition to American naval influence in Asia increasingly clear. Maybe this was a message to The One while he’s in their backyard shoring up alliances that China’s navy is stronger than thought? Wouldn’t be the first time a Chinese ship has surprised the U.S. Navy with its stealth, and Chinese advances in missile tech have been in the news of late. I don’t buy this theory either, though: Firing a missile within 35 miles of L.A., where it’s sure to be seen by the public and thus designed to embarrass the U.S. military, would be provocative in the extreme.
Why now, when Hu Jintao just finished making plans to visit the White House early next year?
HERE IS THE POINT EVERYONE IS MISSING! IT'S NOT WHO LAUNCHED IT, OR WHAT IT WAS, OR HOW IT WAS LAUNCHED, OR THE FACT WE DID NOT TRACK IT ORIGINALLY FROM A SUBMARINE OR FROM LAND.
WHERE DID IT COME DOWN?? WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF SPY SATELLITES, NORAD,SPACE COMMAND, NSA, CIA, AND NOBODY KNOWS WHERE IT CAME DOWN... OR DID IT COME DOWN OR DID IT GO INTO ORBIT OR DID IT GO INTO DEEP SPACE???
