CNN could not independently confirm the information provided by the institute, led by former U.N. nuclear inspector David Albright. Defense Department officials were not immediately available for comment.

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Sunday there is little doubt that the planned launch is designed to bolster that North Korea's military capability.

He also indicated that the U.S. military could be prepared to shoot down a North Korean missile if the rogue regime develops the capability to reach Hawaii or the western continental United States in a future launch......

haha yup... and didn't the one previous to that explode on the launch pad?

I hope this one gets enough time in the air to arm before coming straight back down.

doug · 03-30-2009, 02:10 PM

let us show them our capabilities of blasting projectiles out of the sky within 5 minutes of it being launched.

yeah, i think so. pretty bad ass piece of tech. not sure if its "real" or not yet... but i def remember people saying it was that that shot the korean missile down.

Of course, i really wouldn't put it past N. Korea to build really horrible equipment

doug · 03-30-2009, 02:27 PM

That thing was on futureweapons.. I think it goes into 'service' in 2010.

KrautFed20V · 03-30-2009, 02:29 PM

hmm... i wonder where our trident subs are parked right now?

Our ballistic missile shield can already hit targets the size of a watermelon and can detect the launch within a few microseconds. They aren't airplanes, they are a combination of land and sea radar arrays and laser guided ICBM's.

Even without Japan or Russia...does Korea not realize that when our military has a clearly defined enemy, it goes ape**** on it's ass?

They can laugh at us for being stupid americans...but our military still is Boss.
