Title: WikiLeaks Cables: Planned US Missile Shield Blind To Nuclear Weapons

A 2007 briefing by General Patrick O’Reilly, director of the US Missile Defence Agency, disclosed that the radar system would be unable to detect long-range missiles in the launch phase because it could only see in a straight line, not over the horizon.

By the time the radar "saw" the missile, it would be too late to launch an interceptor in time to stop it striking its target.

The Czech radar system was the lynch-pin of George Bush’s “son of star wars” missile defence plans, ostensibly intended to intercept missiles launched from North Korea and Iran.

Russia reacted furiously to the proposed system, which it claimed could threaten its own defences and be used to spy on its interests.

A leaked cable obtained by WikiLeaks detailing US talks with Moscow describes a briefing by General O’Reilly on the capabilities of the Czech radar.

This proves the Russians were correct in their suspicions and the Bush admin was lying about the real need for placing a radar installation near the Russian border.

years ago the IEEE published a detailed assessment of anti-missile systems, they concluded that any country that could field a ballistic missile could overcome any proposed anti-missile system. Simple counter-measures such as causing the missile to wobble, reinforcing the code with laser-resistant materials, or launching decoys were easy to deploy.

This is the Iranian option to protect their 'good stuff' as it targets the bastard state if israel decides to attack.

Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
