Ugh! I hate to see idiotic statements made by professional politicians that wear the military uniform. These people are suppose to be among the brightest we have and our top level leadership. How does that represent the rest of us?

"We don't know who launched it. We don't know what the goal of the laucher was. We don't know what the capabilities of the missile were. In reality, we don't know anything about it, at all. But we are positive that this represented no threat to the US!"

Give me a break.

Too true! What ever happened to the good old "We are unable to comment on this incident at this time." At least that's better than "We don't have a clue".

I read one article that speculated that this may have been a launch by an "enthusiast". That would be some pretty special "enthusiasm" to build and successfully launch something the size of a Trident from 35 miles out to sea....undetected...and still unidentified.

At this point I hope it turns out to be an accident from a US source 'cause if it turns out to be the NorK's or Chinese....or Venezuelans.
