Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman hinted to reporters that if North Korea launches a missile the United States might use its new missile defense system, upon news that N Korea had a missile capable of reaching California fueled and on the launch pad.
Sounds like an opportunity for Bushco to test its Missile defense system so maybe we are egging them on knowing that they are not much real threat to us! What do you think? A Pentagon spokesman hinted to reporters that if North Korea launches a missile the United States might use its new missile defense system.
The U.S. Missile Defense system relies on radars and other systems on the ground and on satellites to detect missile launches and deploy interceptors to shoot them down.
The system has had some successful tests, and some failures, and is not yet dependable. We know the system has had failures in the past and needs more testing before it can be expected to operate properly.
The Pentagon spokesman and Secretary of State Rice again referred to any North Korean launch as `a provocative act.' And Secretary Rice says she has been coordinating possible responses with allies.
It would once again show North Korea determined to deepen its isolation, determined not to take a path that is a path of compromise and a path of peace," said Rice.
Secretary Rice says a launch would violate North Korea's own moratorium, and she says maintaining the moratorium is part of the agreement North Korea signed last September to pursue a diplomatic solution to the dispute over its nuclear program.

I said it sounded an awful lot like we are instigating this to at least test our defense system for when it will be needed in the future! Knowing Bush you have to wonder?
I for one just became aware that we are prepared to hold the largest military exercise in the pacific in years bringing together 3 carriers for the first time since Vietnam.
The exercises are intended to provide training in "detecting, locating, tracking and engaging" a wide range of threats in the air, land and sea. just another coincidence!
Representatives from China, Japan, Australia, South Korea, Russia and Singapore were invited to attend.

We are hearing this maneuver is not against N Korea, that it was planned a month ago. Are we to believe we did not know of N Korea's intentions then?
Also, I just heard that we have turned our missile defense system on just in case it is needed. It appears more than ever that we are playing the game of brinkmanship that Bush is accusing N Korea of playing. Sounds like we were right again!
Just the latest example of Bushco instigating and living the policy of do as I say not as I do!
What is next there or anywhere else with Bush is anyone's guess!
