Reply #12: Well, I think the CIA is full of shit. Here's why...

As a west-coaster, I'm not losing any sleep over NK's missiles. Assuming that the hypothetical (it's not been launched or possibly even built, it's literally hypothetical) Taep'o-dong 2 could actually spin up a warhead for proper reentry, it's still going to fall at least 1,000km short of Oregon/Washington if not 2,000-3,000km. And that's giving more credit to them and the Iranians than they deserve. They make shitty missiles which often as not malfunction.

We are not dealing with Germans with an eye for precision instruments, here. Just my take. Once the North Koreans develop an all-liquid missile that can break 4,000km then I might, just might, look up from my morning paper. That's years off.
