U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates says he believes North Korea will have an operational intercontinental ballistic missile capable of threatening the United States within five years.
Gates made the prediction Tuesday following a meeting in Beijing with Chinese President Hu Jintao. Asked what the United States plans to do to defend itself, Gates said that is what his talks are about - finding a way to get North Korea to take “a different path.”
