RE: CNN has learned that the US is considering shooting down a North Korean ballistic missile even if it does not directly threaten the US or its allies.

We better be darn sure that we can hit it or this will be a major embarrassment to us.

Also, what if Fat Boy plays the game and continues shooting duds so that we continue to waste or anti-missiles on them?

Now, the little shirt wants money from us.

He needs to go ask his masters in China for some money.

His girlfriends probably need some blindfolds for when they have sex with him.

I've been holding out hope for one of these: Neutrino beam could neutralise nuclear bombs

If we had one, people would know it, though. It would be hard to hide.

The second concern is the question of whether or not our missile defense would actually work.

That doubt is the reason to do it before you have to. Waiting until you see a launch that you can prove is going to do catastrophic damage before going "live" for the first time is the finale of an action movie, not sound defense policy.

IF our confidence level is high that we can do it — we should shoot down every missile they fire. Every one.

There is an island called Ulung east of south Korea in the sea of Japan. I am of the opinion that it would make an excellent location for an anti-missile battery. It would be in the flight path of a missile flying east to Japan or any US territory

The problem with the Patriot anti-missile system is that it is designed to protect a base, not a population. A Patriot “success” was when it knocked aside an incoming rocket so it landed and blew up in some peasant subdivision instead of the protected area.

I think that it makes more sense to destroy the N.K. missile on the launch pad. Thus, the pad is neutralized.

Be prepared to carpet bomb the artillery batteries aimed at S.K.

It may be better to pick them up from the bottom of the sea and see how they are built...

Seems that the last nuclear test was very close to a very large active vulvano. (It reacted shortly after the test explosion). With a few prayers “Mother Nature”. May take the NORKs out!

Makes more sense to blow up a rocket when lil Kim puts it on the launch pad. Especially if we intend to blow it up after it is in flight. He tees one up-we blow one up.

This is a bad idea. Shooting down a missile that is not targeting friendly territory would reveal that we have the ability. If we have the ability, there has been no offical talk of it. Just like the F-117 Nighthawk was not acknowledged before a big press conference. I don't think we would use it until it was absolutely certian the DPRK was firing at us or a ally.

We have the capability to disable their missiles in the silo without firing a single shot.

Could always blow it up on the launching pad. Still, I prefer that idea of the Japanese Parliament debating a declaration of war against North Korea.

A Japanese invasion of mainland Asia would not go over well with the Koreans or the Chinese. Too much bad history. Just having such a debate might get China to put some pressure on North Korea.

It would be better to take out one on the launch pad with a Tomahawk.

That would put a kink in Rocket Boy's plans without letting the world see exactly what our defence systems can do.
