Go Ahead North Korea, Make Our Day

With North Korea poised to fire off a long range missile, the US has activated our new missile defense system:
The United States has moved its ground-based interceptor missile defense system from test mode to operational amid concerns over an expected North Korean missile launch, a U.S. defense official said on Tuesday.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed a Washington Times report that the Pentagon has activated the system, which has been in the developmental stage for years.

"It's good to be ready," the official said.

If the NoKo's shoot off that missile and it comes anywhere near US airspace, I hope we can use that as a test shot for the new system. A nice big boom high over Alaska would be a real slapdown to the midget tyrant that runs North Korea, and would provide some comfort for those who might find themselves within range of those missiles (like me).
