How did they fire a missile that reached Alaska, without our knowing about it? Something doesn't smell right here.

maybe it fell off their long-range wheelbarrow

If they found the warhead then they were tracking it. Otherwise they would never find it.


But this smells of BS anyway.

You may be right. The article, though, mentions "the last piece of a missile warhead." I don't know the trajectory of the NK test shots, but IIRC, they were detonated in the stratosphere. Perhaps one of fragments ended up in Alaska?

[Blood of Tyrants]

That was the very first thing I thought. Perhaps there is more, because I also find it improbable that someone was just walking along in a state the size of Alaska and stumped their toe on a North Korean missile.

Stinks to high heaven.

I agree, something is rotten in Denmark.

[Pharmboy]

Well, they couldn't actually FIRE it to get there, they sent it FedEx...

You're right: it sure doesn't. But don't forget the clock on Iraq is close to running out.

I doubt seriously that it's an issue of our not knowing about it.

I suspect it's an issue of not wanting to own up about it.


. . . for various reasons.

We did know about it.. and kept it hush hush.. or tried to at least.
