US successfully tests anti-missile shield: Pentagon

Saturday, Dec 06, 2008
The US military on Friday successfully intercepted a long-range missile target in a “very realistic” simulated attack to test the proposed US missile defense system, the Defense Department said.
“We had a successful intercept” at 3:29 pm (2029 GMT), Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said of the test, which is seen as a crucial step towards a controversial anti-missile shield Washington plans to base in Eastern Europe.
The Bush administration wants to install a radar facility in the Czech Republic and 10 interceptor missiles in neighboring Poland by 2014.
Friday’s effort was the eighth successful intercept out of the 13 tests conducted since 1999, with the last successful test taking place in September 2007.

The successful test of the project, which so far has cost the Defense Department some 100 billion dollars, comes at a critical time before president-elect Barack Obama moves into the White House on January 20.
Obama has so far not committed to the missile defense shield.
One of his senior foreign policy advisors during the campaign, Denis McDonough, has indicated however that Obama would support the program if the technology proves viable.

that is one missile at a time lmao, you think your enemy will just launch 1 missile, especially at the states, they’ll empty their entire stockpille on that country, makes me laugh, let’s see how effective it is when you got 100+ missiles coming at you all at once, 100 billion dollars, money not well spent i guess

I could do with a spare 100 billion,could shore up my finances for good,the us is lining up to put a ‘missile defence shield’ in Australia as well,why? these things work in both directions ,to keep populations in line [you don't have to use them ,like a belt hanging on the wall the threat is there ,you do as the biggest bully on the planet says...100 billion,even now days ,with the current us dollar devaluation coming that would buy a lot of houses.These NWO cock#eads control most of the planet[excluding the middle east ]they don’t need these weapons to fight other countries,just to keep our countries under subjection/control,thats what they do,they are control freaks.

If this makes America more secure its a good idea .But I doubt that Russia is going to lob one missile at a time as this test was preformed.What would have been the results if 500 missiles had to be intercepted ? even at a 70% success rate 150 missiles would have hit pay dirt,still millions of lives would have been saved .Of course this is merely assumption on my part ,no one knows for sure how successful the results would have been and no knows what counter steps the opposition are taking or how successful it would be against submarine lunched missiles.Reagan spent 1 trillion dollars on his star wars project that was obsolete before it was even completed ,I can’t tell you how good this system is ,but I can tell you it’s making a lot of defence contractors rich.

It was 100 million. Not a 100 billion. This site loves to sensationalize.

Good luck to Poland and may they have some fun again behind the iron curtain. Russia will not allow the shield and destroy it by either bombing or setting their counter missiles along the borders. Also when it ever comes to a real strike America doesn’t make a chance. Sure they can retaliate afterwards. If they have trouble fighting some bearded guys on sandals hiding in caves I would not put my money on their perfect technology.
Remember how China blew one of its satellites out of space. Just a reminder of what can/will happen in the future. I know China will not attack America today or this year. They are waiting and learning. In the meantime building a stronger army. Sure they can be friends with Russia in their common goal in the final powershift. Europa is very happy with a US friends overseas that actually uses them as the real shield in the meantime though.

The remarkable truth is that our missile defense weaponry has little to do with any kind of interceptor missiles being capable of knocking enemy missiles or warheads out of the ski. We currently use directed energy weapons relying less and less on interceptor missiles to accomplish this task. This is precisely why Russia is so upset with us intending to install such multifaceted military apparatus in their own backyard.
Purposely escaping widespread public knowledge is the government’s ability to harness and use the earth’s magnetic energy to alter matter through project HAARP. This new found ability has given birth to the military’s perfected directed energy weapon. Today’s weapons are way more sophisticated and versatile than at any other time in military history. This type of directed energy weapon is not limited simply to missile defense capabilities either. It also provides the ability to modify weather, create earth quakes, disrupt enemy communication, and a whole lot of other imagination boggling things.
The only real answer to all this worldwide craziness can be found in God’s Word the Bible. The Book of Revelations gives human kind ample warning in regard to the calamities that will mark the end of these turbulent times. The Holy Scriptures have long foretold in Revelations how when the Seventh Seal had been opened Trumpets would begin to blow each sounding growing greater in intensity resembling a woman’s birth pains.
These Trumpets as they sound have been designed by God to both fulfill Bible prophecy and more specifically to act as the last warnings to man. Our loving Father wants desperately for all mankind to wake up from their spiritual sleep. He is hoping these final warnings (Trumpets) will inspire each of His Earthly children to REPENT and live righteous, godly lives.
It is predicted that the first Trumpet will sound just after December 14, 2008 with the more intense calls to shortly follow. Be watchful brothers and sisters. When you see and can fully associate the current world atrocities with long prophesized Biblical prophecy do not hesitate for an instant, fall to your knees and pray asking Jesus into your life accepting him as your savior. Ask God Almighty through His Son, Jesus Christ for forgiveness. Repent your sins to God and Love with all your heart and soul our heavenly Father Yahweh Elohim.
Glory be to God Jehovah! His Kingdom is at hand!
PS Don’t forget that God tells us that during this time it is absolutely essential that we as Christians fully recognize and abide by all the laws of whatever government or authority is in power. We are to do so unless that authority’s laws are directly in conflict with God’s laws.
Although it may be our first instinct as American patriots to resist any and all occupying forces, God has given His Church and His followers specific instruction in this regard.
