| McCain raises doubts US sabotaged North Korean missile launch |
| 2017-04-17 |
| [The Hill] Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) dismissed the possibility that the U.S. hacked North Korea's nuclear missile test, leading to its failed launch. "I don’t think so, but I wouldn’t rule it out," McCain told host Chuck Todd on NBC’s "Meet the Press" on Sunday. There have been reports that "digital interference" from the U.S. government disrupted the North Korea missile launch test. U.S. Pacific Command said the North Korean missile "blew up almost immediately" after its test launch earlier Sunday. Former British Foreign Secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind first suggested to the BBC that the U.S. could have been behind the failed attempt through an act of sabotage. "It could have failed because the system is not competent enough to make it work, but there is a very strong belief that the US through cyber methods has been successful on several occasions in interrupting these sorts of tests and making them fail," Rifkind said. David Shuster, a reporter at i24NEWS, also tweeted Sunday that "multiple intelligence sources" tell him that U.S. federal hackers sabotaged North Korea’s missile launch. He's no doubt been briefed and needs to feel relevant and involved. The elderly oftentimes keep automobiles for years after they've given up driving. Long expired Viagra prescriptions in medicine cabinets are also common. It's a doddering old man thing. |

| #6 #1 Why does anyone listen to this geezer any more? He tells the fake news disseminators at Narrative Central what they want to hear. And he's still a shitty pilot who recorded enemy propaganda (then again, that's kinda what he does now, ennit?), while also being a shill for Charles Keating. |

| #5 McCain might be our secret intel weapon. Anything he says on any topic is so confused, it can't help but muddy the waters. |

| #3 Too bad McCain can't just let us enjoy the silence from North Korea since the failure. |
