【今さら「北鮮ミサイルの脅威」ビジネスに狂奔してる日本土人は時代遅れw】米軍トップが「ミサイル防衛構想は過去の遺物」と喝破
米国の「ミサイル防衛」ビジネスは、オバマ政権になって若干の地殻変動が
はっきりと表面化してきたようだ。
つまり、ブッシュ政権下で進められてきた「MD」こと「ミサイル防衛」、より
正確に言えば「弾道ミサイル防衛」構想は、もはや国際政治情勢からして
時代遅れになり、より費用対効果の高い、「戦域高々度地域防衛」のような
局地的な防衛確度を高める兵器システムの開発へと、開発資源の投入目標を
移行させるべきだ、との声が高まりつつあるわけだ。
そうした軍事ビジネスの事情を背景に、米軍・統合参謀本部のトップ
(下記の記事では「副議長」のカートライト将軍)が、「ミサイル防衛は
もう時代遅れだ」云々という、“死亡宣告”を公然と発したわけである。
「ミサイル」という言葉は単純に「飛翔体」を意味するわけだから、
日本がかつて秋田県から日本海沖に飛ばしていた初期のロケットも、
現在、種子島から発射している人工衛星搭載ロケットも、すべて
言葉の正しい意味において「ミサイル」に他ならない。
日本だって「ミサイル」をシナ方面にむけて頻繁に発射している
一丁まえの「ミサイル発射国」なのである。
北朝鮮のロケット飛翔体(俗に言う「ミサイル」)をめぐって、
まるで核兵器を搭載した飛翔兵器のような誇大な恐怖宣伝をして
キムジョンイルの権威の維持にいたずらに手を貸している
日本の買弁政府と馬鹿マスコミは、宗主国アメリカで顕在化してきた
この潮流の変化を、認識できていないのであろう。
つまり極東のアメリカ植民地ニッポンは、いまや、宗主国に条件づけられる
ままに、橋の下の水面に映った「テメエの影」のような独裁国家・北朝鮮に
むかって、ろくな考えも展望もなく、吠えている、しつけのいいバカ犬に
すぎないのだ。 「パブロフの駄犬」ニッポン……(笑)
今後、アメリカ軍産複合体は、日本に局地防衛の新システムを
売り込みに来るであろう。 その時に日本を釣るルアーのエサとして、
もっともケバケバしい毛虫こそ、北朝鮮に他ならないわけである。
アメリカにとって、そしてアメリカから小遣いをもらって売国にいそしむ
自民党周辺のコジキ売国奴どもにとって、北朝鮮という存在は
日本の衆愚社会を釣ってカネを毟りとるには最も使い勝手のいい
毛虫エサだということだ。 こういうものとして、今後も北朝鮮は、
アメリカや日本の売国奴によって、まんまと利用されるであろう。

Top General: Missile Defense Is Dead, Long Live Missile Defense (Updated)

Ballistic missile defense as we know it is all but dead, one of the country's top military just declared. But already, there are new anti-missile priorities taking shape.
General James Cartwright, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, relayed the message yesterday to the defense industry. "Ballistic missiles are about as passé as e-mail," he said to an audience of missile-defense contractors. "Nobody does it anymore. It's just gone... no stupid person, enemy out there would be so silly as to come at us with a minimum-energy trajectory. Give me a break. Even the people we would call 'Third World' have gone beyond that."
The administration of President George W. Bush poured around $10 billion a year into ballistic missile defense; it focused particular effort on fielding a limited missile defense capability that would protect the United States from a lone missile lobbed by a rogue state (i.e., North Korea). It also expended serious political capital trying to seal a politically controversial deal to station missile defense interceptors in Eastern Europe.
In theory, the European site was supposed to protect the United States and Europe from long-range ballistic missiles launched from the Middle East (although Iran has yet to acquire a missile that could reach the United States). Cartwright said missile defense funds would shift toward deterring more realistic threats. "The architecture associated with those terminal defense type capabilities, those area defense type capabilities that have the mobility and have the capability to be out there to address those threats are where we are going to start to put money," he said. "Because it is the most likely."
That's good news for the developers of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or Thaad, a "hit-to-kill" air defense system that can knock down short- and medium-range missiles at greater ranges and higher altitudes than the Patriot system. But it's not so great for defense contractors who are designing far-out systems to destroy enemy missiles in the vulnerable "boost" phase. As Noah noted earlier today, one major boost-phase program is already in the crosshairs: the laser-equipped Boeing 747 that is supposed to zap missiles out of the sky as they rise from the launch pad.
Observers are also wondering what this shift means for Boeing's Ground Based Midcourse Defense, or GMD. The Bush administration activated GMD at two sites, one in Alaska and one in California; according to Reuters, Cartwright said the future of the system would depend on whether it could counter other threats. "The more utility, the more willing you're going to be to put money in it," he said.
Interestingly, Gen. Bantz Craddock, the head of U.S. European Command, said in written testimony submitted today that the U.S. Navy was studying the feasibility of stationing a missile-defense-capable Aegis ship to defend the Eastern Mediterranean region. In his testimony, Craddock said the Navy was leading an "urgent effort" to develop a command-and-control architecture for an Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense ship operating in defense of countries in the Eastern Mediterranean.
At first glance, that sounds like a more realistic way to counter the Iran missile threat than deploying the long-range GMD system in Europe. The U.S. military has previously looked at the possibility of creating an "instant" ballistic-missile defense system by tying the land-based X-band radar developed for Thaad with sea-based radars and interceptors; Rick Lehner of the Missile Defense Agency told Danger Room a transportable X-band radar has been used in previous tests to provide cueing information to an Aegis ship which then used the data to perform a simulated launch and intercept.
UPDATE: The Obama administration is also picking up on a top complaint of the missile defense critics: namely, that missile defense testing isn't real enough. Elaine Grossman of Global Security Newswire quotes Peter Verga, the acting deputy defense policy chief, as saying: "I think anything the test community can do to reassure people that the tests are, in fact, operationally realistic is very important."
