Human Events on ’33 Minutes’ Documentary
The documentary “33 Minutes: Protecting America in the New Missile Age” debuted to positive results. A Human Events reporter who saw the film reported that executive producer Rebecca Hagelin warned: “America is vulnerable.”
The Heritage Foundation developed the high-definition documentary to raise awareness about the global danger of missile attacks, especially from countries like Iran and North Korea. An excerpt:
“Ballistic missiles follow a sub-orbital flight path to reach a predetermined target. Technology like this in the hands of rogue governments — such as North Korea is and soon Iran will be – is extremely dangerous to America and its allies. North Korea is working on long-range ballistic missiles that would have the capability to send a nuclear warhead to Alaska or California. Iran is in possession of weapons that can hit Europe, and will soon be able to produce nuclear weapons. And an even greater risk is that North Korea and Iran are likely to sell or give their technologies to terrorist organizations.”
In these perilous times, George W. Bush was the ideal man to lead our nation in protecting not just the homeland, but vulnerable countries around the world. What Bush managed to do, the Obama administration may undermine. Developing and maintaining anti-ballistic missiles (ABM) take money, dedication, and determination.
“When there is a missile in the air you have to have the ability to destroy it because the only other ability that you would have would be to apologize to those that died,” said the Missile Defense Agency’s Lt. Gen. Henry Obering.
