Hello Bob,   
      
    BB>> But he seems to be focused on using a rocket, so we'll see   
    BB>> how that works out. Word is we have picket ships out there   
    BB>> to knock it down, but from all the tests we ran I'm not   
    BB>> impressed with just how effective that may be.   
      
   BK>And I believe you hit on the very reason they are not trying to   
   BK>knock down the missiles, if they miss it will be very   
   BK>embarrassing.   
      
   Remember how the news media crowed about those Patriot missiles   
   knocking down those Iraqi SCUD missiles flying over Israel?  It   
   was all propaganda, spun by the Bush41 regime.  The warheads on   
   the SCUDs were left intact.  It just happened that the SCUD   
   missiles were not very accurate.  What the North Korean regime   
   has is basically the same technology as did the Iraqi regime.   
   Only with very crude nukes too heavy to be transported by missiles.
