Liquid fueled....seems to me that gives us an alert before launch. I'm not sure why liquid fuel would give us an alert prior to a launch. What is your reasoning? Just curious.

The fuel has to be loaded into the rocket just before launch. Solid fuel rockets are set to go when needed. It takes time to fuel those missiles, a good deal of time I believe.

In the old days the conventional wisdom was that a liquid fueled rocket would take about 2 hours to fuel up and be ready for launch, and our intelligence people specifically would look for that activity as a possible prelude to a preemptive attack on the US.
