Knew we wouldn't, or couldn't, shoot them down. We now have real problems. And what a message it sent to Iran. Now Iran knows that they must finish their nukes for their missiles knowing we can't do a damn thing about them. We just keep getting in deeper and deeper and were are losing respect around the world. All talk. That scares me.

I think the only kind we would shoot down would be an ICBM and that's the one that exploded after 35 seconds. The others, at least the first two, were just SCUDs.

I haven't heard what #4-6 were.

"Knew we wouldn't, or couldn't, shoot them down."

I didn't know about that. Where did you get this information?

(slap) Pull yourself together! We really have no clue on how this all is playing out. Why would n. korea (chicoms proxy) show this huge weakness to the world?

Sounds like it's your turn to be worried today. If N Kor starts it won't be as coordinated as it was 1/2 a century ago. It's one thing to line everybody up on the border and start them running south at the toot of a bugle, but getting technology working together effectively demands a lot of scheduling, rehearsal and training. Still, they have a lot of tubes and troops and it will be a noisy three weeks on the penninsula.

I can't ascertain from what is reported so far that the North Koreans actually launched an ICBM that did not fall to earth promptly after launch. Did we shoot it down? Did they have a little failure of technology? Les gookes are going to shoot themselves.

I don't think we shot it down, I have a feeling we used high energy microwaves or some such to disable its guidance systems. Of course it will never be officially acknowledged..
