Missile Quotations

The missile that downed the Malaysian plane, they say, is a Russian-made missile. But the weapons that are used in the barbarism in the barbaric act against the Palestinians were made by the West, and nobody is blaming them. Nobody talks about it; not even the U.N. Security Council can pass a resolution against Israel!

But the most important thing about that story, which is not often told, is that as a result after the Cuban missile crisis, immediate steps were taken to correct our inability to collect on the movement of nuclear material out of the Soviet Union to other places.

The lesson of the Cuban Missile Crisis is plain: Strength prevents war; weakness invites it. We need a commander-in-chief who understands that - and who won't leave us facing a foe who thinks he doesn't.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, decisions made by President John F. Kennedy and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev could have plunged both countries into thermonuclear war.

History is full of examples of regimes that were oppressing at home and aggressive abroad, and I can't think of too many liberal democracies engaging in counterfeiting, drug running, missile proliferation, and just about any other illegal activity you can think of as North Korea does.

Most people give Kennedy a passing grade, a good grade on the Cuban Missile Crisis handling, but what they don't realize, if he had had strength, if he had showed strength before, there would never have been a Cuban Missile Crisis.

The Twist was a guided missile launched from the ghetto into the heart of suburbia. The Twist succeeded, as politics, religion and law could never do, in writing in the heart and soul what the Supreme Court could only write on the books.

Cameras help to minimize collateral damage, and very often, without a camera a missile cannot fire. Certainly, without a camera a drone can't function, which means that the very ways in which we wage war are determined in part by how cameras work and whether they work at all.

We need to have a national security that puts steel in front of our enemies. I would send weapons to Ukraine. I would work with NATO to put forces on the eastern border of Poland and the Baltic nations, and I would reinstate, put in place back in the missile defense system that we had in Poland and in the Czech Republic.

The Patriot missile is a point defence missile. Point defence means that you put the missile at a location to defend a very specific target such as an airfield, a supply dump or a headquarters.

In November 2008, the day of the presidential election, Israeli military forces invaded Gaza and killed half a dozen Hamas militants. Well, that was followed by a missile exchange for a couple of weeks in both directions.

I would have thought that if you're going to try to punish the Syrians and prevent them from using chemical weapons again, the thing to do is a one-time strike. Maybe a cruise missile strike at one or two of their air bases just so they know what they're going to gain from using chemical weapons on the battlefield.

We would take a little bit of money out of a huge increase in ballistic missile defense and put it in a place where it will do a lot of good, namely, in targeted pay increases to our enlisted personnel, particularly our NCOs and our junior warrant officers.

We have proved that India is neither a proliferation threat nor an exporter of sensitive nuclear or missile technology. This cannot be said to be true of all parties to the NPT,

We have insisted that (North Korea) cease its long-range missile development, production and export program, ... We are at a critical juncture in our relations with Pyongyang. The choice is for the North to behave in a way that allows for a positive direction in our relations.

We had a very good and useful meeting and I was very pleased to get the Russian proposal on missile defence,

Since then, a massive Chinese missile and military build-up across the Taiwan Straits has served as a constant threat, ... Waiting for the next shoe to fall would be a very costly mistake.

Missile defense has constantly been a challenge because of the technology required to intercept and destroy a warhead in space or on its way back down to Earth. It's a very difficult thing to do.

Military deaths in this first wave of attacks would be expected to be in the thousands. Civilian deaths would be in the many hundreds at least, particularly with the requirement to target technical support for the nuclear and missile infrastructure, with many of the factories being located in urban areas.

One of the big first computers was called SAGE, which was a missile defense, the first missile-defense computer, which was, like, one of the first computers in the history of the world which got sold to the Department of Defense for, I don't know, tens and tens of millions of dollars at the time.

My father served 26 years in the Air Force as a pilot and a pioneer in our missile programs. I learned early about the sacrifices a family makes when a member is repeatedly deployed, and also the fulfillment that comes from serving our country. My brother, my son and I all became Marines.

Needless to say, there is no opportunity to interrogate or learn anything from a suspect who is vaporized by a missile launched by a keystroke executed thousands of miles away.

On the question of whether we will have missile talks about missile defense with North Korea -- right now, we are not talking with them about anything, but I suspect in the near future we will,

On relevant countries' development of missile defense system, China's stance is: We think it will affect global stability, international strategic stability, relations between nations and regional security.

cease long-range missile development, production and its export program.

Bear in mind North Korea has been the leading source, a leading source of nuclear technology and of missile delivery systems to some of the world's great rogues in Iran and Syria.

China of course is expanding its missile forces and enabling those forces to reach many areas of the world well beyond the Pacific region,

To date, with over 90 percent of the airplane recovered, there is no physical evidence of a bomb or missile strike,

I actually have the Arcade PC at home, and it has 5,500 games on it. Everything from the old school, Galaga, Tron, Missile Command, anything you can think of, they're all on there. I love the old school games.

I talked with him for about 25 minutes through an interpreter. First of all, I was scared to death. I grew up during the Cold War and the Cuban missile crisis, and here's the dictator who almost led us to World War III.

It accentuates our grave concern about the increased risk of nuclear and missile proliferation in South Asia, and of escalating tension in that region.

It can be said that the military balance between China and Taiwan is moving in a direction advantageous to China as it is rapidly modernizing its nuclear and missile capabilities as well as its navy and air force.

It appears that there was a test of a short-range missile by the North Koreans, and it landed in the Sea of Japan.

I think the presentation on the White Sands Missile Range issue was a very persuasive presentation. It seemed clear to me at the time that the commissioners were listening to the testimony and were somewhat convinced by it.

I think the decision by the BRAC commission to reject the Pentagon recommendations to move the Army Research Laboratory from White Sands Missile Range to Maryland was very good news. That, I think, was the good news of the day.

It is sometimes difficult for Americans to understand how Japan will fund programs like missile defense if it continues to adhere to the de facto constraints of the 1-percent cap on defense spending.

I will raise bilateral issues and regional security concerns, including measures to prevent nuclear and missile proliferation and other arms control objectives,

I think there continues to be serious skepticism and questions in Europe about national missile defense. I think it would be a good opportunity for a president to say, 'We're going to slow down the pace here, we're going to try to really decide what the most important threat is, how we're going to proceed' and not try to ramrod something either through the Europeans or without regard to the consequences for Russia.

Our investigators have looked at all the radar tapes that exist from that evening and have not seen anything that indicates a missile track or missile hit,

Over the next 15 years ... our cities will face ballistic missile threats from a wider variety of actors -- North Korea, probably Iran and possibly Iraq,

Pakistan test-fired its first cruise missile Thursday in a blatant attempt to intimidate India. It flies beneath radar. If they attacked India with a nuclear cruise missile it could wipe out the entire United States customer service industry.

Pakistan has made no mention of ending our tests. We have a missile program, and it is in the national interest whatever we want to do.

Regarding exports of North Korean missile technology, export of technology is trade and if there are buyers, we'll sell.

The Aegis-equipped systems certainly have the capability to be upgraded and equipped at some point with theatre missile defense technologies that would provide Taiwan with defense capabilities against Chinese missiles,

The action taken last night, which resulted in the deaths of children among others in a missile attack in Gaza, is unacceptable and counterproductive.

The anger that I had going into the first trial was stifled because I had a chance to tell my story. I was like an MX missile waiting to go off. Now I'm more like a can of deodorant.

The 1998 missile strike on the Sudan was an unannounced, unprovoked attack that destroyed that Third World nation's only medicine factory. Yet it provoked no opposition outcry on the left. The Clinton air strike violated every principle of the current liberal critique of Bush foreign policy.

The 18 NATO allies -- members of the integrated military structure -- agreed today to task military planners to begin their work and advice on preventive deployment of AWACS airplanes, NATO support for deployment of theater missile defenses of Turkey, and support for allied chemical and biological defense capabilities,

microprocessor to be used on aircraft, where it can be employed in navigation; digital flight control and weapons fire control systems; radar data processing; and airborne battle management systems. This microprocessor can also perform target identification and discrimination functions in missiles, allowing the missile to home in on and destroy its target.

We can proceed to develop the options on missile defense on a much more measured timetable which allows China and our allies like Australia to have a greater degree of input.

Virtually every time the U.S. fires a missile from a drone and ends the lives of Muslims, American media outlets dutifully trumpet in headlines that the dead were 'militants' - even though those media outlets literally do not have the slightest idea of who was actually killed.

We have urged both sides to exercise restraint and to avoid inflammatory actions that would heighten tensions and fuel a missile arms race. Missile tests would not be helpful to efforts to reduce tensions and build confidence through dialogue in South Asia.

Those countries are going to build up their missile defenses whether we improve our defense or not.

We know she was exporting sensitive technology with missile applications to Chinese government entities. A lot of our agents have invested quite a bit of time in this investigation.

The proposed unilateral national missile defense would have serious implications for the NPT regime,

The proposal for national missile defense, as articulated now, is the wrong answer to the right question. The right question is: what do we do about rogue states like Saddam's Iraq?

We want to be serious when we come forward with accusations, as we were when ordering the Iraqis to destroy a very large missile program.

The fact that DHS is planning to take at least two years to develop a missile defense prototype to outfit the U.S. commercial fleet verges on the dangerous,

There is no response from the US on our protest lodged after the missile attack.

There are a number of navies all over the world with Standard Missile and vertical launching systems that could employ SM-3, paving the way for a truly global ballistic missile defense capability.

We firmly believe that with the deployment of the American National Missile Defense Program, it will certainly affect the security of China.

This test is the first step toward an AIM-9X missile being launched vertically from a submarine. Ultimately, the missile will be encased in a launch capsule. When the capsule broaches the surface, the missile will launch and then acquire and engage its target.

What Shapiro is doing is, first of all, getting back to the basics, which is very important. He's pointing the missile in the right direction to get back the good image that the park once had; to rebuild the credibility among his marketplace by doing basic things: cleaning the parks up, operating them fully, offering better value once people come to the parks.

When I take action, I'm not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It's going to be decisive.

We think it's entirely possible that this may have been in fact an Iraqi missile that either went up and came down or, given the behaviors of the regime lately, it may have been a deliberate attack inside of town,

This one is more dangerous than the 1996 missile crisis,

We had periodic crises in this country when the technical intelligence didn't support the policy. We had the bomber gap, the missile gap.

As time goes on, I am expecting, I am waiting for North Korea to act in a provocative manner, to lash out verbally, potentially even with a missile or even a nuclear test. Especially as Washington continues to try to squeeze them, and they are going to look for a way to get the world's attention by saying or doing something that is provocative.

The successful shooting of a ballistic missile from underwater was yet another confirmation of the effectiveness of the system of the military administration, and also the reliability of the naval strategic nuclear forces.

Sophisticated systems such as the SAM-6 missile can be moved very easily. The Iraqis do that, and the Serbs do it as well.

Russia would prefer to rebuild trust rather than allow it to further corrode. That's why, in July 2007, President Putin, in the spirit of strategic openness, proposed a truly collective effort at missile defense for Europe.

An examination of the exterior of the building would show some form of small missile hit the building at around the eighth floor. It caused minimal damage.

a visiting missile team that just happened to be here when Iraq made its announcement.

This data link brings the war-fighter a great deal of flexibility after the missile is launched.

America, ... needs to be defended. We need missile defense to better police the skies over the United States.

They have been unified and are to be supplied both to the Strategic Missile Forces and the Navy.

This missile test reflects India's mindset. India's desire to control the subcontinent will never become a reality.

This missile test reflects India's mindset, ... India's desire to control the subcontinent will never become a reality.

This missile is extremely accurate. It will reduce the number of munitions needed for any given targets and its vertical impact makes it the weapon of choice when collateral damage is a concern.

They're on a constant reconnaissance mission; their task is to find targets such as ballistic missile sites. They either destroy them themselves or call in air support.

As we were being thrown out, one of the last conversations I had with them (the Iraqi officials) was about their illegal work to extend their missile program,

It's just to guarantee that we're not left blind against an enemy missile launch.

It was the most advanced missile system of its time.

It's like the Cuban missile crisis; we are just waiting for someone to blink.

The agreement on pre-notification of ballistic missiles, which has been finalized but yet not signed in New Delhi, does not cover pre-notification of cruise missile tests,

It used to be that when a country joined the nuclear club, they suddenly decided that it was just large enough, and they didn't want to help anyone else join. ...Now we have countries joining the nuclear missile club who say 'the more the merrier.' North Korea is out selling its dangerous technology to anyone who wants to spend the money to buy it.

It will probably be considerably larger than a destroyer- class ship today because we are going to rely on mass, on the very size of it to allow it to be able to sustain missile hits and keep on fighting,

It will increase our knowledge on how this particular type of radar will track missiles. The goal is faster processing of information. We need missile information very quickly.

The U.S.-Japan Joint Cooperative Research program is an excellent example of international missile defense cooperation and paves the way for continued cooperative development with Japan. Our relationship with Japan on this program has benefited both nations and provides effectively a two-for-one return on investment. It is a model for future international cooperation with other nations.

The vast majority of Chinese air-to-air missile sales are to its own government, and those that are exported have little effect on the overall market. Japan is forbidden to export weapons and Taiwan has yet to sell an air-to-air missile to a foreign customer.

The last thing this planet needs is another punch thrown, another grenade tossed, another missile launched; to teach self-defense in today's world is to teach kindness, compassion, and protection from mediocrity.

The international community has made quite clear they want to see the North Korean missile program curbed. The Russians share that desire and we'll be talking to them about how to do it, as well as talking to the allies.

The federal government... knows how to put a missile in someone's room half way around the world with technology. Why don't we use some of that technology to save some lives here in America?

In its report, the Cox Committee concludes that China is using stolen U.S. design information to speed up its deployment of a new nuclear missile force.

I mean, if you think of Iraq, and the (Indian) company NEC, we know they were providing missile technology to Iraq in violation of the sanctions, and NEC is associated with the Indian military. It's not just a renegade company.

I'm following the match on the US Army's ballistic missile testing range in the Pacific, where it's 07.25am on the 13th October,

If the North Koreans really wanted to send a signal, why not do a ballistic missile test?

Iran has a ballistic missile capability of 2000km. We do not intend to attack any country, but if we are attacked we have the capability to give an effective response. Our policy is defensive.

If you really believe the number one priority of our government is the protection of our people, then the idea of being defenseless against an intercontinental ballistic missile or any other type of weapon system that puts us in jeopardy is not acceptable.

In addition, the intercontinental ballistic missile force is aging and it's not clear that the nuclear mission is a big priority anymore for the Defense Department or Air Force. They want to acquire new fighters and deep-strike forces that can be used in conventional, not nuclear conflicts.
