That can be debated - and has. Not to mention the amateurish way in which the "action" was not prepared, not planned, and thus badly carried out. The result is an Iraqi prime minister taking general orders from Teheran now, and a Shia population looking for leadership from Iran. Clever!

With Mr. Obama's pathological need for approval I suspect the ship will get a pass.

Let's wait and see.

I think it would be better if the missile is never fired by NK. Shooting down such a missile would reveal capabilities not for the entire worlds eyes.

Test shots from earlier stages of the socalled star wars program have been on all major TV screens around the globe - since years. That some of them were successful, is no secret. We also think of the Patriot missiles shooting down Iraqi missiles.
