Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-TX), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, made the following statement regarding North Korea's overnight missile launch:
"Once again, we are reminded that America faces dangers beyond ISIS, Russia, and Iran. The President's reluctance to face these dangers with resolve, much less a strategy, only allows them to proliferate. Seven years of underfunding for U.S. Missile Defense have given our adversaries uncontested opportunity to advance their capabilities. The President must show leadership in squarely facing the growing threats and in adequately funding our military to meet those threats."
