North Korea Can Put A Nuke on a Missile, U.S. Intelligence Agency Believes

The Defense Intelligence Agency has concluded with "moderate confidence" that North Korea might have a nuclear weapon that's small enough to be placed on a ballistic missile. But the DIA also says that if that is the case, the reliability of the missile would be low.
The alarming assessment came as North Korea has been issuing threats that range from testing a new missile to nuclear war against the U.S. and South Korea.
It was made public near the end of a House Armed Services Committee in which Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey were testifying about the proposed Pentagon budget.

Haunted Memories

When I was a little guy about 5 or 6 years old one of my first memories of TV news were the nightly body counts from the "Police Actions" going on at the time. I can't say if this really affected me but I can say I didn't want the same for my child. However I found him a few weeks ago standing in the door of the bedroom staring at the television, I asked "what are you watching Buddy?" He just looked bewildered and asked "Dad who are those Army Guys?" At that point I had to just go ahead and tell him that they were the most recent "Army Guys" to be killed in Iraq. When he asked why they got killed, I could offer no reason good enough for his 7 year old mind. I remember how I felt when I first discovered what the body counts were all about, back then we still had the DRAFT going on which worried me to death that my brother would maybe someday have to go and "Die For Our Country" the fact that he was only four years older than myself never entered into the thought process( imagine that). I guess we all have to learn about the negative side of life at some point I just wish it wasn't so young now.
