California Mystery Missile Launch Still Unexplained; MIT Security Expert Dismisses Aircraft Contrail Crap

It's not an aircraft contrail," says Theodore Postol, a professor of science, technology, and international security at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, also in Cambridge, Mass. "That I'm confident of. It looks like a big missile, but who knows what a contrail looks like from long range."

It's hard to know for sure, he acknowledges. But the contrail had features reminiscent of a submarine-launched ballistic missile, similar to the US Navy's Trident II.

After reviewing the video, he noted twists to the contrail that could have been caused by wind. But, he adds, it also is consistent with a twisting maneuver that solid-fuel, long-range missiles perform to control their speed and range.

In the early days of solid-fuel motors, engineers built ports into the missile body near the nose. The ports could be opened on command to bleed off some of the hot gases that would have gone out the nozzle, thus controlling the rocket's velocity. But the ports also represented a weak spot in the missile's body, which led to missiles destroying themselves.

As guidance and navigation systems improved, missiles could be programmed to perform the cork-screw-like maneuvers to bleed their speed – so-called general energy-management maneuvers.

The contrail "has the spirals you would see in an advanced solid-rocket missile," he says.

If it was a submarine-launch missile, he dismisses the notion that a US launch was timed as a show of strength during President Obama's current trip to Asia. Countries there "have no early warning systems to see this thing," he says.

Earlier in the day, this reporter wrote: An unexplained missile launch off the California coast inevitably leads this reporter to think the unthinkable--namely, that North Korea and/or Iran or one of its terrorist proxies could have fired the missile from a cargo ship flying a flag of convenience (a) to remind the United States government of its vulnerability to an EMP attack and (b) to test the Obama administration's reaction to such an unprecedented provocation. They would have deliberately aimed the projectile in the opposite direction, towards Asia, in order to avoid actually committing an act of war. Could the U.S. military locate the responsible vessel? Would Washington capture or destroy the ship--or cover up the incident? Crazy as all this may seem, the idea that the missile may have been launched by America's nuclear-armed and -arming, implacable foes, who have repeatedly threatened the U.S. with nuclear war, in the case of North Korea, and, in Iran's case, have over and again vowed to overthrow the existing world order, is much more believable than, say, an illusion caused by a jet. Unthinkable? As the nation learned at Pearl Harbor and on 9/11, the unthinkable can and does happen.

An expert blogger comments:

When someone makes an unannounced launch of what looks to be a ballistic missile 35 miles from the nation's second largest city (at sea in international waters), and 18 hours later NORAD still doesn't have any answers at all - that complete lack of information represents a credible threat to national security. If NORAD can't answer the first and last question, then I believe it is time to question every single penny of ballistic missile defense funding in the defense budget. NORTHCOM needs to start talking about what they do know, rather than leaving the focus on what they don't know.

If this missile was launched at sea, was it launched from a ship or sub? If it wasn't our ship or sub, then whose ship or sub was it? Did anyone cross-reference the launch with public AIS logs from the port of Los Angeles yet?

Obama, in Indonesia, Effectively Encourages Global Islamism and Islamizing of Arab-Israeli Conflict

[UPDATE: NETANYAHU REPLIES 'JERUSALEM IS NOT A SETTLEMENT']

Menacing language, mind boggling copy--the words leap off the screen. Scroll down and consider the excerpts fromthe Times article set forth below.

"Our Muslim"--the first Muslim-born, Third World-American President of the United States, an Ivy League-educated, left-leaning globalizer, ironically chosen by the political and economic elites to appease and accommodate rising, right-wing political Islam--again doing what he does best and clearly seems to enjoy the most--namely, criticizing the Jewish State and effectively supporting the global Islamist onslaught, including the Islamizing of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Understand, as Obama loves to say, that the President of the United States has no business addressing a religion, that it would be far more appropriate--and important in light of his allowing non-Arab, Islamist Iran to acquire atomic arms--for him to address the Arab world than the so-called Muslim world, that the concept of such a "world"--actually, a Muslim "nation" that transcends all political, national, and ethnic boundaries--is itself Islamist and contrary to Western interests.

JAKARTA, Indonesia — President Obama, stepping into an Israeli-Palestinian dispute during a homecoming visit to the world’s largest Muslim majority nation, criticized Israel on Tuesday for its decision to advance the approval of some 1,000 new housing units in East Jerusalem during a sensitive time in the peace negotiations with the Palestinians....

... While Mr. Obama received a hometown hero’s welcome — even the Indonesian press corps clapped and cheered when Air Force One touched down — he said he was here “to focus not on the past but on the future,” and, with the exception of offering some personal reflections at the press conference, his time here has been all business. The plight of the Palestinians is a big issue in Indonesia, so much so that President Yudhoyono mentioned it in his opening remarks, saying he had told Mr. Obama that “we need a resolution on Palestine and Israel in a permanent sustainable manner"....

... Mr. Obama is making outreach to the Muslim world a major theme of his brief visit to Indonesia. He closed his remarks at Tuesday’s press conference with the Muslim greeting “salaam aleikum,” and said he intended to reshape American relations with Muslim nations so they were not “focused solely on security issues” but rather on expanded cooperation across a broad range of areas, from science to education. Aides say the speech he planned to give Wednesday at the University of Indonesia — and still hopes to give, albeit earlier than expected — will build on one he delivered in Cairo last year, in which he called for “a new beginning” with the Muslim world....
