They test launched a missle.
They didn't point it at US.
We do the exact same thing all the time, every time we develop new technology.

So if I understand you guys right, you think bush should nuke every country that tests new missle technology?
You all need a nap.

If they did launch one in our direction it wouldn't make it past half way.
I know that for certain. Someone I know very well spent his entire career developing weapons, specializing in anti-aircraft and anti-missle missles.
We have stuff that will do the job without a doubt, we just don't want the entire world to know the extent of what we have so we dummy it down and pretend it isn't as good as it is.
Most of the stuff they actually show everyone is nearing obsolescence. It aint the good stuff.
Thse patriot missles we used in 1991? Developed during the vietnam war, we were just using them up so we didn't have to spend money to dispose of them. I knew about those weapons when i was still in junior high.
For most of my life he's been telling me about buck rogers type weapons that I couldn't believe existed, only to see them actually used 15 years later. He never gave me enough details to get into trouble, just enough to get the general idea.
One thing for sure, we have an anti-missle defense system that can fill the skies. Anything that north korea can send up we can knock down.
The only real question would be is it worth divulging our latest and greatest just to knock down a test missle? i don't think so.
