Norks ready test for missile to reach US

Bloomburg:

North Korea may be preparing to test- fire a Taepodong-2 long-range missile, the Sankei newspaper reported, citing unidentified Japanese government officials.

A U.S. satellite has observed truck movements at a missile- launch facility being constructed in North Korea, the Sankei said. Preparations may be completed within two months, the report said.

With a two month lead time in firing this missile, I would think the US could take it out before it was launched if we were in a state of war with North Korea. Come to think of it we have been since the 1950's when a cease fire agreement was reached but there was not treaty to end the war.

Meanwhile, Reuters reports that Boeing has won a $250 million contract for work on the ground based missile defense system. Hopefully, the Democrats want kill it, or they are likely to put a lot of their West Coast voters at risk.
