This is one reason why I don't want any Clintonistas back in the White House

not only did they trumpet this bullshit in the wapo, they're now issuing the same insanity from the pages of time magazine...

We anticipated that North Korea would ignore the U.S.'s warnings. That's why, in an opinion piece published in the Washington Post on June 22, we urged the Bush Administration to strike the Taepo Dong 2 on its launchpad before the test could be conducted. "Surgical strike" is a much abused term, but destroying a test missile as it is being readied for launch qualifies for this category because only one U.S. cruise missile or precision bomb with an ordinary high-explosive warhead could easily puncture and ignite the multistory test booster. As with space-shuttle launches from Cape Canaveral, all personnel would normally be a safe distance away from the rocket at the time, so there should be no collateral damage.

i don't think they have any idea what the full, long-term "collateral damage" would really look like but, you can be sure, it would be one hell of a lot more than missile debris on a launch pad...
