I'd go as far to say the No Fly zone over Kosovo, that was to stop genocide in the Balkans.

How come he doesn't mention that the US is handing over the command of this operation to NATO and are pulling out as the main head in a few days? That was part of the original deal. The US hits Air Defence systems, runs the preliminary few flights, and then hands it over to the UN/Nato countries for the rest of the mission.

1983 incident

Stanislav Petrov, an Air Defence lieutenant colonel, was the officer on duty at the Serpukhov-15 bunker near Moscow on September 26, 1983.[4] Petrov's responsibilities included observing the satellite early warning network and notifying his superiors of any impending nuclear missile attack against the Soviet Union. If notification was received from the early-warning systems that inbound missiles had been detected, the Soviet Union's strategy was an immediate nuclear counter-attack against the United States (launch on warning), specified in the doctrine of mutual assured destruction.[1]

Shortly after midnight, the bunker's computers reported that an intercontinental ballistic missile was heading toward the Soviet Union from the US.[5] Petrov considered the detection a computer error, since a United States first-strike nuclear attack would be likely to involve hundreds of simultaneous missile launches, in order to disable any Soviet means for a counterattack. Furthermore, the satellite system's reliability had been questioned in the past.[6] Petrov dismissed the warning as a false alarm, though accounts of the event differ as to whether he notified his superiors[7] or not[5] after he concluded that the computer detections were false and that no missile had been launched. Later, the computers identified four additional missiles in the air, all directed towards the Soviet Union. Petrov again suspected that the computer system was malfunctioning, despite having no other source of information to confirm his suspicions. The Soviet Union's land radar was incapable of detecting missiles beyond the horizon, and waiting for it to positively identify the threat would limit the Soviet Union's response time to minutes.
Had Petrov reported incoming American missiles, his superiors might have launched an assault against the United States, precipitating a corresponding nuclear response from the United States. Petrov declared the system's indications a false alarm. Later, it was apparent that he was right: no missiles were approaching and the computer detection system was malfunctioning. It was subsequently determined that the false alarms had been created by a rare alignment of sunlight on high-altitude clouds and the satellites' Molniya orbits, an error later corrected with cross-reference to a geostationary satellite.[8]

Petrov later indicated the influences in this decision included: that he had been told a US strike would be all-out, so that five missiles seemed an illogical start;[1] that the launch detection system was new and, in his view, not yet wholly trustworthy;[citation needed] and that ground radars were still failing to pick up any corroborative evidence, even after minutes of delay.[citation needed]

Meh.
Alex Jones and the "false flag" operation conspiracy may be poetic, but it also happens to be 100% wrong.
The "truth movement" and WTC7 fetishists failed a long time ago.



really..... if u rob a store down on the corner, it will be caught on cctv, yet no airport cctv-footage excists of any the alleged terrorists! r u kiddin me...

why is there no footage from the 16 cameras that were supposed to have caught the pentagon plane on tape been made public? no,no,no....before you come with some bullshit spin-answer, answer why isnt any of the footage been made public. if it was a plane, then it was plane, why hide it?

oh, and what happen to the pentagon missile-defense system? thats right, it happen to be not functional that day, just like the whole air-defence....they just happen to be doing a once-a-year drill, on the excact day the biggest assult on u.s soil was made!!!!hahaha....man, this is so sick.

oh, and why was the biggest crime in the u.s ever, never treated as crime-case?
(ground 0 was never declared a crime scene!)


HEY, WHY IS OSAMA NOT ON THE FBI MOST WANTED LIST FOR 9/11? THATS RIGHT, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE, SILLY BUSH JUST HAD TO TELL YOU 5-10 TIMES THAT OSAMA DID IT, AND GUESS WHAT.....YOU BELIEVED IT.....


u say the movement failed, where is your evidence? stop takin authority as truth......

Inflation in Germany was one of the prime factors of the fall of the national socialism party. Hitler had many pipe dreams, spoke a lot empty phrases and often held gatherings that were tailored to be energized by packing small venues. I often wonder why he didn't attack other English countries such as Britain?


Um, dude, you wanna, I dunno, study history a bit?

If not for British kickass fighting in the air, a full sea/land invasion would've occured.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Britain
"Had it been successful, the planned amphibious and airborne landings in Britain of Operation Sealion would have followed. The Battle of Britain was the first major campaign to be fought entirely by air forces. It was the largest and most sustained bombing campaign attempted up until that date. The failure of Nazi Germany to destroy Britain's air defence or to break British morale is considered its first major defeat.[7]

Neither Hitler nor the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (OKW) believed it possible to carry out a successful amphibious assault on the British Isles until the RAF had been neutralised. Secondary objectives were to destroy aircraft production and ground infrastructure, to attack areas of political significance, and to terrorise the British people into seeking an armistice or surrender. Some historians, such as Derek Robinson, have argued an invasion could not have succeeded; the massive superiority of the Royal Navy over the Kriegsmarine would have made Sealion a disaster and the Luftwaffe would have been unable to prevent decisive intervention by British cruisers and destroyers, even with air superiority"

i can imagine him in the bunker shouting "have we got any kind of air defences or am i gonna have to go get in an F-16 and shoot these bastards down myself?"

You're right. those are Mirage III RS. The swiss air force had 60 of them since 1965. ironically they received completely new electronics and computer systems (i bet expensive ones) shortly before they were dismissed in 1999. few of them served for training and reconnaissance until 2005. i had to deal with them during my military service in air defence, and though i'm kind of a pacifist and environmentalist, i have to admit they're both beautiful and impressive and it was fascinating to watch them.
