Quote:On viewing the footage, former deputy defense secretary Robert Ellsworth speculated on KCBS that the launch could be a show of military muscle.
"It could be a test-firing of an intercontinental ballistic missile from a submarine ... to demonstrate, mainly to Asia, that we can do that," Mr Ellsworth said.
That makes NO sense. They know all too well that American ships, land-based and submarine [maybe even starwars] missiles are fully capable of being launched and launched at anyone at anytime.... Further, why would you do such an unnecessary show of force to foreigners off the L.A. Coast if not to scare the roller-skaters, muscle-builders, chainsaw-jugglers and other odd sorts on the Venice boardwalk?
