The Chi Coms got ticked and blew off a missile to get Barry’s attention. Quit blaming WND and just accept it. And who can blame them? Bernanke is getting ready to screw the Chinese through stealth default on our debt to them. This is what happens when you have a weakling in the Whitehouse. It emboldens our enemies. We are in a dangerous world right now, made more dangerous by Barack H. Obama and company.

Can you just go over in detail how your knowledge of SLBMs is superior to Dr. Kopp?

Also your specific arguments on how his arguments are incorrect would be useful, too. Thanks.

Yep, Georgia, another red herring. WND has no more relevance to the video Leyvas shot than the man in the moon. I hate the Chi Com scenario -- too frightening. I'm thinking it could well have been one of a bunch of tests the camerman finally caught.

The SUN has relevance. An airline contrail would have been above the sun, and the sun would have lit the underside of the contrail. The part farthest away from our POV would have been many hundreds of miles away, and it would have been UNDERLIT, as the sun was below the horizon and the contrail was five miles high, flat and level.

And what about that missile burn "illusion"? The sun reflecting so brightly off the bottom of a plane flying straight and level that it looks like flame requires the sun necessarily also to reflect off the underside of the straight-and-level contrail flowing behind. Those contrails began hundreds of miles ago, and that's what you see at their "base."

Watch this video. Among other things, it shows a spectacularly back-lit vertical plume taken at sunset. About 31 seconds in is a spectacular shot; it's headed northwest, against the sun. Tell yourself the base of that thing is underlit 300 miles away and 10 minutes in five-mile-high wind currents. R-i-i-i-ght. Uh huh. "Optical illusion" for "gee, this contrail looks like a vertical plume if you freeze its motion and look at it fuzzy" so that's what that dimwit camerman shot -- yeeeeesh.

All the "expert" you need is in your own noggin. Use it. And pray for our country and our military.

Poor girl, come back to the real world before you're entirely subverted by what you want to believe.

So, the fact that the evidence proves it wasn’t a missile, Chinese or otherwise, doesn’t bother you?

And the fact that WND turned this guy’s article into a pro-missile piece doesn’tbother you?
