Personally, I'd much prefer we just bomb the launch pad, AFPhys.
If you're going to commit an act of war, then you'd best be ready to fight a war.

Intercepting a missile headed in your direction is one thing, attacking a military target in a sovereign country is entirely something else.

I have no problems with preemption, for the most part, but if you're going to hit one target and start a war, you may as well just hit'em all and fight full-out from the beginning.

Pretty sure that's not really possible, the South wouldn't stand for it.

I watched this snippy little turd question Kay Bailey Hutchinson. She sneered almost everytime Sen. Hutchinson made a statement. She is an arrogant, snippy, thoughtless etwas.

Instead of Missle-3 interceptor, it should be named
"Right On".

For SKorea's sake... I hope she's disappointed.

The test marked the seventh time in eight attempts the military has successfully shot down a missile target with an interceptor fired from a ship.

The Dims and their liberal "scientist" allies have assured us for 25 years that this is not possible.

Note to military: You need to come up with a cooler name for this missile.

How 'bout instead of STANDARD Missile, STANDARD Hit-tile?

If Congress had acted when Reagan wanted them to, our anti ballistic system would have been up and operational for 10 years.
