The potential range of the missile is 9,400 miles, AP said, citing the unidentifed offical. The distance between Pyonyang the North Korean capital and San Francisco is about 5,500 miles, the AP reported.

Let's wait until this lunatic has enough nuke missiles to anihilate all our large cities, and then say that we should have nuked him years before.

With the Russian technology, it could end up in the Gulf of Mexico or the Pacific..

I'm just thankful that Jimmy Carter brokered that non-nuclear-proliferation treaty in 1994 that helped him with the Noel Prize! Thank God for Jimmy Carter!

There are many reasons for building a star wars missle defense system. It's good that one of those reasons is out in the open for all the American people to see.

Thank you clinton and carter

[OldFriend]

The media ramping up the NK threat is inadvertently helping the administration win approval for missile defense.

[meg70]

Jimmuh was obviously a man before his time..(sarcasm button off)

[xzins]

This proves how ineffectual, maybe even treasonous, was the Clinton Administration.

It also proves how correct is GW Bush to group these with the axis of evil.

Quick strike. Take them out. We DO NOT want this psychotic state to have this capability for long or to increase their capability at all.

One hopes that by the time said missles are ready to carry nuclear warheads to visit us, the ABL will be on station, taking them out at the source, hopefully spreading the contents widely.
