Even though the US Missile Defense System is still in development, it is capable of intercepting, and shooting down, the Taepodong-2 missile North Korea has on the launch pad, ready to fire. At least the North Koreans say it is.
North Korea is infamous for screaming, kicking, and bawling like a baby, to get attention. They’ve been doing it since the fifties. But, this time, Precious Flower may have bitten off more than he can chew.
For more on the story “The Washington Times” has an excellent article here:
