CNN breaking: US anti-missile missile hits target missile ...
... off of Hawaii.

Very brief report given at approximately 7:25pm EDT. Didn't mention whether target missile was equipped with a homing device.

3. Missle Blows Itself Up.
Turns out Missle and Anti-Missle Missle were same Missle.

It'd pretty much have to be.

4. Great...
We're already playing politics with missles between Alaska and N.Korea, and now they're playing war games too. Guess we had to show the N.Koreans that it works. Maybe now they'll show us theirs works too?

7. It's a tactic to scare N. Korean. I think it was Sherman of Calf.
today on C-Span said that the missile defense was not a good system because it would be hard enough to shoot a dart with a dart, but than they (name the enemy) would just add all kinds of evasive techniques so it would basically be impossible to have a working system.

I think the R's know they are going to lose control of the gov't and are desperately trying to funnel money as quickly as possible into areas and co's they control!

8. I hate to have foil on my head- but is there a film of this test?
Until I see the film, I'll assume they made it up.

I'm not saying there really is no film or that they are 100% making it up- I'm just saying this is a "safe" assumption until I see clear footage of it.
