Sources? Well lets see...

The unclass stuff -

Executive Summary of the Report of the Commission to Assess the Ballistic Missile Threat to the United States. Available at http://fas.org/irp/threat/bm-threat.htm

National Intelligence Council. Foreign Missile Developments and the Ballistic Missile threat to the United States through 2015 Unclassified Summary of a National Intelligence Estimate. Available at http://www.dni.gov/nic/PDF_GIF_otherprod/missilethreat2001.pdf

And having taught at the University of Illinois Physics department on Nuclear Weapons, War and Arms Control - with Fred Lamb (the chair of the report) and Jeremiah Sullivan and peer editing the American Physical Society APS Study Group on Boost-Phase Intercept Systems for National Missile Defense for the both of them.

Also helps that when NK was testing the Taepo Dong 1 in 1998, the core two-stage liquid rocket was used in a space launch attempt - and they topped a 3rd stage on top of it. The 3rd failed. Essentially were trying to go the route of the Al Hussein by modifying Scud B's but running into the problem of being overweight, underpowered, and running for too long - 293 seconds - and **** flying off in the process.

And the fact that they can't afford to pay their electric bill and need to rely on China to help with making ends meet - and the general poplous not having 2 sticks to rub together - i'm not very confident in the reliability of their rockets to do much other then go up and fail.

Kim likes being on the spot - because it helps him make ends meet by getting concessions from the rest of the world. Since Iran has been more popular lately for the same reasons he has been - there's a little competition on who's dick of bigger.

But if that competition were to have any merrit - let me ask you something. Why in the world would they have ever named one of their missiles the "No Dong"? He clearly wants a dong - a really big dong. Viagra time Kimmy.
