"Its rather easy for the norks to sneak a nuke through the shield. Launch 20 SCUDS at one time with 2 nukes. Odds are we cant hit them all."
That's if they could be able to launch 20 at a time and be fairly certain that they would all actually launch. Their percentage chances of success would appear to be pretty low and it falls within the realm of probability that one or both of the nuke warheads would be on missiles that failed to launch or fly once launched.

Articles critical of ABM systems always ignore the ignore the reliability factor as it applies to the adversary. As we were recently reminded, not even Tomahawk missiles are perfectly reliable.
