The U.S. Defense Department is weighing whether a decision to shoot down any suspected inbound North Korean missile should go all the way to the president, a top general told Congress on Wednesday.

This is a joke, right? They're going to be hand-wringing and buck-passing while megatons are incoming?

No, they need to fire at anything headed our way, then report the results--not waste a second seeking permission to fire.

Knock it down, then turn the peninsula north of the 38th parallel into a glass parking lot.

You are exactly right!

It is alledged that there are 3 million "tubes" pointed at South Korea and 300,000 of em can deliver rounds accurate or not on Seoul in less that 1 minute.....

By tubes I mean Artillery, MLRS, Heavy and Medium Mortars....etc . Anyone know if this is valid ?

A Cessna 150 was 3 miles from the Whitehouse, causing mass evactuations, and the President didn't find out about the situation until later.

And we are wondering if we should find him in the seconds needed to give a shootdown order on a NK rocket?

Politicians, they'll be the death of us yet.

Take a look at a satellite picture of the peninsula by night: South Korea ablaze in electric light, the North in darkness. In Far East Asia, North Korea’s the hole in the doughnut.

The simple solutions are always the best.
