In the first step toward erecting a multibillion-dollar shield to protect the United States from foreign missiles, the U.S. Navy will begin deploying state-of-the-art destroyers to patrol the waters off North Korea as early as next week.

The mission, to be conducted in the Sea of Japan by ships assigned to the Navy’s 7th fleet, will help lay the foundation for a system to detect and intercept ballistic missiles launched by “rogue nations.”

Washington hopes to complete the network over the next several years.

That is all that will be left, even then, the bottles will be helplessly melted.

One plan on the shelf is Plan 5030, a very interesting Pentagon plan to destablize and draw the DPRK into a conflagration, if in fact they go over the "red line". Fact is, they HAVE gone over the "red line". Only thing left is for them to launch a provocative Taepodong-II or revised Nodong missile test in the next week or so.
