Imagine this exact same scenario in the early 60’s. I think the response would have been, I dunno, different.

If our government did not do this, and Dr. No did not do this, and it’s not Iron Man, then this is a VERY big deal.

Probably just someone in India that ‘borrowed’ Obamas caddy with the launch codes.

That’s my take. Saying “We didn’t do this...” was not our military’s greatest hour, without some answers in hand.

Makes you wonder what we spend those trillions for anyway.

Personally, I think it’s all part and parcel of making the US third world country. Navy senior leadership over the past two or three decades has shown a decidedly feminine leftist best. Air Force isn’t far behind, although it has the distinction of losing one nuke and almost losing another. The Army is trying hard to catch up with likes of Gen. McChrystal.

This last Bernake fiasco is recoverable, but it will be very tough. The conservatives we elected better do what they were sent to Washington to do from day one. Skipping the so-called Congressional “orientation” (aka indoctrination) and saving the country is what they need to be doing.

In the early '60s, there were 19 Nike missile batteries defending LA. Whatever this thing was, it would have faced a lot of metal in the air.

Today, not so much.

Today, we suck.

It belongs to Hugo Drax.
