The United States has moved its ground-based interceptor missile defense system from test mode to operational amid concerns over an expected North Korean missile launch, a U.S. defense official said Tuesday.

South Korean Foreign Minister Ban Ki-moon said on Tuesday that North Korea had put its long-range Taepodong-2 missile on a launching pad, but it was unclear if the missile was fully fueled.
I feel better now. Do you?

Of course! I mean, isn't it the job of the media to calm people and allay their fears?

Send in Team America, they'll save the motherfu[Aqua][/Aqua]cking day yeah!

I refuse to believe that we wouldn't see it coming and blow it up over the Pacific or if we are lucky enough, Canadia. It also helps a little that I live on the East Coast.

I'd feel even better if we pointed 100-200 of our nuclear long-range missiles at North Korea.

I'm not so much fearful as I'm stricken with wry amusement that our counter-play to a test missile launch is readying a test defense system which couldn't be trusted to hit the ground if you dropped it.

I live 20 miles from Canada. I'm as safe as it gets.


The only ones who'd nuke us would be the old Soviet union and they sold all their nukes for Vodka long ago.

Unless they ever intercept a missle. Then you as well as your canuck neighbours will be showered in the radioactive debris, which tends not to give gamma induced super powers like in the comics but rather cancer.

The only ones who'd nuke us would be the old Soviet union and they sold all their nukes for Vodka long ago.

Actually I just think they sold the rocket fuel as vodka.

Considering our ati-missle missles couldn't hit a ******* continent consistently, I don't feel overwhelmingly safer.

Not to mention that N Korea has no intent of ever launching the thing.

Your mother's a *****. You like to jack off dogs. That's right, you heard me. You like to grab that dog by the bone and rub it like a ski pole. Your dad? Gay. Your priest? Straight. **** off and let me post. It's not true, it's all in good fun. Now go away.

I'm safer than you. I live on a 22-square mile island that's about 600 miles due east of Cape Hatteras, NC. It's news like the OP's that makes me happy I live in the ***-end of nowhere.

Of course, it also means that we're screwed if water transportation is disrupted...
