"(CBS) A mysterious missile launch off the southern California coast was caught by CBS affiliate KCBS's cameras Monday night, and officials are staying tight-lipped over the nature of the projectile. When asked, however, what he thought it might be, the former ambassador said it could possibly have been a missile test timed as a demonstration of American military might as President Obama tours Asia. "

That's right Asia ours are bigger.

Manic Mondays Make Many Missiles More Malicious, Maybe?

I love this thread because of its alliteration.



Also, I've got some buddies who have been following this pretty seriuosly and it is definitely a WTF scenario. Most plausible explanation I've found so far is that Cobra Commander was having sex on his desk and accidentally hit the Big Red Button.

Maybe Missiles might manipulate Marshall Mathers to Make My Motherfucking Musical Movie

I've always wished they would have real displays of American military might. The Soviet Union used to do this a lot. You can see what I'm talking about this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtU3vUOa2sw

Could you imagine tanks rolling through the streets of Raleigh? and in the first tank, halfway through the parade, Master P could pop his head out of the top and yell "UGGGGHHHH! I'M BOUT IT BOUT IT!"

^^Failed Russian missile test: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1234430/Mystery-spiral-blue-light-display-hovers-Norway.html

Looks like this one was actually an airplane...

I find the whole airplane excuse on this one to be very likely BS. One of those well we gotta say something so it will go away let's go with that it's at least mildly believable.

Why the hell do the Russians seem like Chad's mother from Wedding Crashers?

11/11/2010 4:53:47 PM

We do have real displays of American firepower. They're called Carrier Groups, Red Flag, any Korean Exercise etc etc
