U.S. defense missile a North Korea option

(UPI Top Stories Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) President George Bush is ready to utilize the U.S. missile defense system if North Korea tests a ballistic missile in a way that threatens the United States.

This week White House National Security Adviser Stephen J. Hadley said Bush was prepared to use the anti-ballistic missile system. Air Force Lt. Gen. Henry A. Trey Obering III said he is confident the defense system is up for the job.

U.S. intelligence agents say North Korea may be getting ready to test a Taepodong-2 missile, which has the capability to reach Alaska or the U.S. west coast.

The Washington Times reports the North Korea missile site may be the launching point of a satellite, though, sparking dramatic attention but not an immediate threat.

If needed, the U.S. missile defense system would use sea-based and surface-to-air missiles aimed at taking out another missile.

The system was tested successfully Thursday although tests in the past have resulted in inconclusive or failing results.
