Missile @ MindSay

Top this for a speeding ticket...

Two Hunter traffic patrol officers from Newcastle LAC were involved in an unusual incident while checking for speeding motorists on the F3 Freeway.  One of the officers used a hand-held radar device to check the speed of a vehicle approaching over the crest of a hill, and was surprised when the speed was recorded at over 800Kph.  Their radar suddenly stopped working and the officers were not able to reset it.

Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact latched on to a Williamtown FA-18 fighter jet which was engaged in a low-flying exercise over Wyong, approaching from the ocean.

Back at police headquarters the Local Area Commander fired off a stiff complaint to the RAAF Liaison officer at Williamtown.

Back came the reply in true laconic RAAF style:

'Thank you for your message, which allows us to complete the file on this incident.  You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Hornet had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked onto, your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it.  Furthermore, an air-to-ground missile aboard the fully-armed aircraft had also automatically locked onto your equipment.

Fortunately the pilot flying the Hornet recognised the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile systems alert status, and was able to override the automated defence system before the missile was launched and your hostile radar installation was destroyed.

Thank you for your enquiry.‘ 

 

 

Newt Gingrich is beginning to talk like a Presidential candidate contender. He is absolutely correct: Diplomacy has failed in North Korea. North Korea is becoming an example to rogue nation such as Iran: If you thumb your nose, talk tough and stall with sugar coated candy words, you can do whatever you wish globally. That means hang the common good of the sane people living in sane nations. I know it is cliché, but is certainly sounds like the Hitler Nazi tap dance of the 1930's (read a history book).

 

Newt suggests America take action. The action: destroy the North Korean missile before the test launched. I agree! Take action! Use the technology we have developed to show we mean business.

 

Clinton Administration former Secretary of Defense (William J. Perry) and Assistant Secretary of Defense (Ashton B. Carter) are concurring with Newt Gingrich. It is time for a Pre-emptive strike on the launch pad of the North Korean Missile dubbed "Taepodong." When there is a crisscross agreement in the usually polarity entrenched politics of America, action should be taken!

 

Hey, let's do some role playing.

Pretend you are a super secret government agent in the middle of a crisis.  A terrorist has somehow gotten his grimy little hands on a nuclear missle, and you are trying to find him and stop him. 

Meanwhile, your current significant other is working with you.  The only problem is that the person is still technically married, and the husband or wife is also working with you.  And to make matters worse, that husband or wife jumped in front of a bullet, saving your life.  The person is now in surgery, and your significant other (even though they are seperated) is a complete wreck

Now, you get a lead on someone who may know where the missile is.  As you are bringing that person back to your base, he gets shot.  He needs immediate medical attention.  Of course, the problem arrises that the only doctor in the base is currently working on the spouse of your significant other, who is watching on nervously. 

You know that the person you are bringing in now is your only chance at finding the nuclear missile.  If the missile is launched, millions of people will die.  So, you make a decision.  You force the doctor to stop working on the spouse and start trying to save the terrorist.  You need him to be able to talk so you can get information from him.  The person you love starts screaming at you.  "How can you let [my spouse] die?  What are you doing?"  It hurts, but you hold strong.

The spouse dies.  The terrorist lives.  You get the information you need.  You leave to attempt to stop the launching of a nuclear missile.

Your significant other hates your guts for, in essence, killing the person who saved your life.

Did you do the right thing?
