Thank you North Korea for defying Obama and launching your missile

Buy this man a drink.

It has been confirmed that the North Koreans have defied the warnings from Obama and have launched their rocket. The North Korean rocket is said to be capable of putting a 100 kilo satellite into an orbit 250 miles high. If used as a ballistic missile, it has the threat capability of launching a two ton warhead 3,700 miles. This rocket is larger than anything that they have launched to date. This is all very good news.

The United States has spent huge amounts of money to develop the technology to intercept missile warheads and is in a position to install systems that have a very credible and unknown capability to defend against a limited missile attack. (Unknown is a good thing in the world of deterance.) 

Slowing or stopping our missile defense research and deployment would give China and Russia time to catch up with the US. As that happens, the technology will leach out to other countries, leaving the US weaker and more vulnerable to a missile attack.

The Norks have done us a great big favor. How are Obama and the Democrats going to justify slowing or halting missile defense now? 

A big hug and a kiss for the great chairman.
