IMHO, we're exposing waaaaay to much detailed information about our missle defence system.

Is it just me, or am I the only one who thinks that a stronger white house would have taken control of this and handled it totally differently?

This is all being recorded and will be used by NK and rusher and possibly used against us.

I'm thinking Obama would have shut this down, stat, and would have taken control and organized a responsible pr response.

And it would not be revealing all of this detailed information.

If this isn't a reason to impeach, I don't know what is.

That said, even thought it was the state emergency management system that screwed up, a stronger and less stupid WH would have been on top of it.

were deficient. They have been testing their warning systems, somebody pushed the wrong button and they didn't have a way to immediately cancel the warning.

After all of the bluster and threats by pres. shite ass, such a warning would seem realistic to a lot of folks, I daresay.
