North Korea: Fires ICBM, finds out its a lemon. hehe

US: Um, how do we break it to you gently? we have successfully passed our tests for the missile hunting missiles, and can shoot your missiles just moments before they hit target, if we want to wait that long.

QUOTEThe so-called Terminal High Altitude Area Defense weapon system, or THAAD, "exceeded its objectives" in the long-planned test by shooting down a non-separating Hera target missile at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, Lockheed said in a statement.

THAAD, which is still being developed, is to be part of a layered shield meant to defend against short- to intermediate-range ballistic missiles of the type fired by North Korea a week ago.

Congratulations, Lockheed, you made the reality of global nuclear exchange an international film, with no English subtitles. i.e. something I probably won't see.

Little side note: Kim Jong Il is known to have three sons -- one from his second wife and two from his third. North Korean experts say Kim's 25-year-old son Kim Jong Chul is most likely to become the North's next leader.

His eldest son, Kim Jong Nam, is said to have fallen out of favor after embarrassing his father in 2001 when he was caught trying to enter Japan on a fake passport, saying he wanted to visit Tokyo Disneyland.
