#1 The US wanted to send a clear message to any future buyers of North Korean weapons that we can and will grab them enroute so you might as well not try.

We gave the missles to Yemen as cover so as not to further freak out North Korea and as a way to say thanks for the help so far to Yemen. I doubt the missiles have the accuracy to hit anything in the region.

I think Saddam probably cancelled the check and that's one reason North Korea is extra crazy lately. They need the cash.
