KTUU Channel 2 January 13, 2010 Missile defense director says Alaska in strategic position ANCHORAGE, Alaska: The director for the nation's missile defense agency says Alaska is strategically located for missile defense. Sen. Begich and Gen. Thomas Katkus were on hand as Lt. Gen. Patrick O'Reilly spoke Tuesday afternoon at the Commonwealth Club. O'Reilly says the threat is growing, and more countries are developing capacity to build missiles themselves, in addition to missiles being openly available on the arms market. He says Alaska is the closest point to Iran, North Korea, Southern Asia and other known threats to the U.S. [It is the closest part of the United States to Russia.] "Alaska is in a strategic position for a large dominance or large percentage of the threats that we are very concerned about, not only today, but ones that portend to present problems for us in the next couple decades," O'Reilly said. O'Reilley is in Alaska as part of his routine visits to the missile defense complex at Fort Greely. =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: [email protected] or [email protected] Daily digest option available. ============================== --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: [email protected] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bNM5nn.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [email protected] For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=TEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
