I could agree with the idea that we couldn't count on successfully shooting down the missiles, but that we DEFINITELY couldn't shoot them down goes to far.

If it was pointless why did you comment on it?

I can tell by your first sentence, that you are correct.

It was pointless to spell out the need for sources when you talk about defensive missile programs like you have a top security clearance.

You can't qualify either.

A security clearance investigation is an inquiry into an individual’s loyalty, character, trustworthiness and reliability to ensure that he or she is eligible for access to national security information.

"we can't shoot down missiles at this point."

None pass through your period. Reality however is that our missile interception technology keeps getting better. Every time we improve it ups the ante and China has to invest in better delivery technology to threaten America. It makes it more difficult for tin hat dictators to threaten us or our allies. (Oops I forgot, nobody would want OUR help in protecting their citizens.)
