Toledo Blade Editorial: Not ready, aim, fire!

A NEWS report the other day that the United States was prepared to use its so-called “ballistic missile defense system” to intercept an anticipated North Korean missile test must have caused a panic deep inside the Pentagon.

That’s because, despite the bold claims of the brass hats out front, the military has no operational missile defense system, at least not one proven to work.

What if they tried to take down the North Korean missile with this untried system and missed? That would be a propaganda victory dictator/crazyman Kim Jong Il couldn’t purchase at any price.
