MAD doesn't work here. The NK threat is not that they will use their weapon - it is that they will sell it. NK has no means to deliver its weapon. Islamic terrorists drenched in oil dollars will.

North Korea has an untested ballistic missile capable of hitting the United States, top U.S. intelligence officials said Wednesday.

While testifying at a Senate committee hearing in Washington, CIA Director George Tenet was asked whether North Korea had a ballistic missile capable of reaching the U.S. West Coast.

Before answering, Tenet turned to very quickly consult with aides sitting behind him.

"I think the declassified answer, is yes, they can do that," Tenet said.
