Current line of thought is that, no, it is not up to operational status, that is, it is still in the 'testing' phase...
That is the public consumption line...
Now think about that, do you really think the military is going to announce that it can successfully intercept ICBM's? No, they are going to say that tests are still going on, that reliabilty of intercept is low at the current level of testing, and the Democrats think its a waste of money and should be scrapped.
Misdirection at its finest.
