Debunking claims that Hillary may have revealed sensitive info at debate -

Speaking at the presidential debate Wednesday night, Clinton noted that it takes four minutes from the time the president makes the call to use nuclear weapons to their actual launch. The remark came amid questions about the fitness of Clinton and GOP candidate Donald Trump to hold the nation’s nuclear codes, but critics, including former intelligence operatives, told Fox News that level of detail about nuclear response times is “protected information.”


U.S. and Russian Launch-Ready Nuclear Weapons: A Threat to All Nations and Peoples By Steven Starr, Senior Scientist, PSR

http://www.psr.org/about/experts-speakers/steven-starr.html

Launch-ready nuclear forces are linked to the U.S. and Russian Presidents by their respective nuclear command and control systems, which include ground and space-based Early Warning Systems that detect a hostile missile attack. Any tactical warning is quickly evaluated, and once validated it is passed up the chain of command in a matter of a few minutes. These high-speed information networks are designed to provide each President the capability to order the launch of his nuclear forces before they can be destroyed by an incoming nuclear attack.

However, this is hardly a simple task, because the nominal flight time of a ballistic missile traveling between the U.S. and Russia is about 30 minutes; it is 12 minutes for a missile launched by a submarine stationed off the coast. These short flight times define and dictate how much “Presidential decision-making time” is available for the President to decide whether or not to launch a nuclear strike in response to the perceived attack.

The decision to either launch a responsive nuclear counter strike, or ride out the attack, must be made in less time than it takes for the (perceived) incoming ICBM/SLBM attack to arrive. Otherwise the incoming warheads will likely destroy most of the ground-based forces, along with the nuclear command and control system (and leadership) necessary to coordinate and launch a nuclear counterstrike – assuming the attack is real. A launch in response to a false warning will result in accidental nuclear war.

Thus the entire process of detecting and evaluating the attack warning must be completed in less than 7 minutes. According to retired military officers, the President is then given a 30 second briefing. If the attack warning is still believed to be real, the president is then given a series of options, all of which have been planned well in advance.

If the attack is believed to come from a submarine, the President will be told that he then has as little as 10 seconds to make the decision whether or not to launch a responsive nuclear attack. This is because the nuclear warheads delivered by a SLBM will arrive in slightly more than four more minutes. The order to launch must be immediately conveyed to launch crews sitting in underground bunkers, who control the missiles. The missiles must then be fired and clear the upper atmosphere before the incoming warheads began to detonate

Comey sure screwed up by letting Cankles slide on her illegal home computer email account and as a result the stupid old cow didn't learn her lesson.  Now the old chatterbox is blabbing away national security secrets at the debates trying to puff herself up and act important.

Stupid old cow.

2. Snopes

Snopes debunked it:

http://www.snopes.com/clinton-four-minute-nuclear/

OK, so Snopes is cool with it but let's see what others have to say about divulging operational timelines for launching nuclear weapons:

“We went to the military this morning and asked them. A military spokesman told us that they do not discuss operational timelines for launching nuclear weapons,” Starr said. “This is some of the most classified information. I asked Defense Secretary Ash Carter at a press conference earlier today. He declined to answer the question because it involved politics.”

“Is it really classified? There’s a lot of open-source information about, you know, publicly available information on the internet about what is involved in launching nuclear weapons, and when we asked the Clinton campaign, they sent us a number of citations of that publicly available information,” Starr said.

“But here is the bottom line: the U.S. military does not discuss the precise specifics of the time frames of launching nuclear weapons that, by all accounts, is extremely classified,” Starr continued. “And if you know information to be classified and you’re a government official, even if it’s in the open source, even if it’s on the internet, you are not supposed to disclose it.”

Starr mentioned how unhappy the military is about Clinton’s comment.

“The bottom line is the U.S. military [is] not especially thrilled to be discussing in precise detail what it takes to launch nuclear weapons,” Starr said.

“With 70 million people watching,” host Brooke Baldwin added, referring to those who watched the debate.

Too bad she isn't as secretive with our national security as she is about the infirmity she's suffering from that turns her into a collapsing cross-eyed quivering slobbering mass of guts.

Love how DUmmies always cite some completely obscure web links to supposedly debunk things as if they are gospel.

Everyone should check out the snopes link if they have any doubt that it has become a left wing propaganda site.

It's always been that way. Two Democrat shut-ins and their cat are held up as some kind of grand authority on The Truth.

Become? Hell it was born that way.

SEVERE violation of OPSEC. This is the quickest way to turn a colonel into a lieutenant while he awaits his/her discharge and/or courts-martial. But, of course, it's ok if it's the Teflon bitch.

Anyone who was ever in the Strategic Air Command can relate to this...

We used to make machines for a company and the guy that bought them off was on the nuclear inspection teams. He never really told me what he did. Might have been checking silo/missile readiness, the people that had the keys, or whatever.  He said that ofhis team he was "The Reasonable Man." IOW, he kind of saw the other side of the **** ups and tried to mitigate the situation from the other members of the team. He would not have been one bit reasonable with the bitch that is the democrat party presidential nominee.

Hillary is not just careless, she is traitorous.

hillary, rope, lamppost....some assembly required.
