US Pressing for Quick Activation of THAAD in South Korea

The THAAD anti-missile system could be up and running in South Korea within days despite local protests, the uncertain outcome of South Korea's presidential election, and renewed warnings from China, according to Navy Adm. Harry Harris. Harris, commander of U.

S Pacific Command, told the House Armed Services Committee Wednesday that the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system would be "operational in the coming days to be able to better defend South Korea against the growing North Korea threat.

He said the hit-to-kill THAAD system of missile launchers and powerful X-band radars was designed to bring North Korean leader Kim Jong-un "to his senses, not to his knees. The U.S.

began moving launchers and other equipment onto a former golf course about 135 miles southeast of Seoul in Seongju province on Wednesday despite one of the periodic protests against the placement by local residents, who fear that having THAAD in the area would make them a likely target for North Korean missiles.

South Korean officials had previously said that THAAD might not be activated before the end of 2017, according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency, and Harris' optimistic timeline suggested that the U.S.

wanted THAAD in place before the May 5 presidential election in South Korea.

Current frontrunner Moon Jae-in of the Democratic Party, believed to favor a softer line on North Korea, has said that he would review the decision to allow the THAAD placement in Seongju.

However, Moon said in a debate Thursday that "If North Korea carries out a sixth nuclear test, cross-border dialogue will be impossible for a time, and given the single, five-year term (of a president), it will effectively be difficult to improve inter-Korean ties under the next administration.

China has vehemently opposed having the THAAD system in South Korea since negotiations on its placement began in February 2016.

On Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang renewed Beijing's "grave concerns" that THAAD could upset the balance of power in the region.

THAAD "will break the strategic balance in the region and further escalate the tensions on the Korean peninsula," Geng said.

"It does no good to the goal of denuclearization of the peninsula and regional peace and stability, and runs counter to the efforts of various parties to resolve the issue through dialogue and consultation," Geng said.

A USED S-U-V FROM A

LICENSED CAR DEALER.

INTO AN ORDEAL FOR AN

ALBUQUERQUE

FAMILY.

AS NEWS 13'S CHRIS MCKEE

SHOWS YOU ON SPECIAL

ASSIGNMENT -- THEIR

MONEY VANISHED ... THE

CAR VANISHED ... AND SO

DID THE DEALERSHIP'S

OWNERS.

14:18 "Do you know any

person that's associated

with CarTime?" 14:21 TO

A SMALL ALBUQUERQUE CAR

DEALERSHIP OFF EAST

CENTRAL.

22:04 "Do you know where

they went?" 22:05

23:42 "I don't know what

happened" BUT KEVIN

BRISENO AND STEPHANIE

MONTOYA KNOW WHAT THE

DEALERSHIP DID TO THEM.

15:21 "It's been the

worst experience we've

ever had to deal with."

15:24 THE NEW PARENTS

HAVE BEEN TAKEN FOR

THEIR CASH SAVINGS...

02:08 "We're out of

almost 10,000 dollars

02:10 ALONG WITH

OWNERSHIP OF A CAR THEY

THOUGHT THEY WERE

BUYING... AFTER A MONTHS

LONG ORDEAL WITH "CAR

TIME LLC."

12:02 "Everyone's

pointing fingers at each

other."

IT STARTED IN THIS SMALL

PARKING LOT NEAR EUBANK

AND CENTRAL. THE SIGNS

ARE GONE NOW .. BUT THE

DEALERSHIP "CAR TIME"

WAS RUNNING SALES HERE

IN JANUARY .. ALONGSIDE

A FEW OTHER SMALL

UNAFFILIATED DEALERS.

34:29 sound of parents

talking to baby,

laughing 34:31 LIKE A

LOT OF FULL-TIME WORKING

PARENTS...

01:01 "We've got to get

around for her" 01:03

STEPHANIE AND KEVIN

NEEDED A SECOND CAR TO

GET TO THEIR DIFFERENT

JOBS.. AND DAYCARE.

01:40 "We had saved up

some money, so we can

buy a car cash, that way

ACADIA... FOR 95-HUNDRED

BUCKS.

04:04 "It was a

beautiful car in good

condition, we thought

the SUV would be perfect

for her and her older

brother" 04:10 KEVIN AND

STEPHANIE PAID MOST OF

IT OFF ON JANUARY 7TH. A

RECEIPT SHOWS THEY GAVE

"CAR- TIME" 87-HUNDRED

DOLLARS. THE COUPLE

DROVE THE S-U-V OFF THE

LOT WITH A TEMPORARY

TAG...

AND SAY THE DEALERSHIP

PROMISED THEY'D GET THE

TITLE BY

THE TIME THEY MADE THEIR

FINAL PAYMENT. ABOUT TWO

WEEKS LATER ... THEY

PAID THE FINAL 800

DOLLARS.. BUT HEARD

SOMETHING DIFFERENT

ABOUT GETTING THE

S-U-V'S TITLE.

06:09 "She went and paid

it, and they told her

it was... everything was

in the process" 06:13

THE COUPLE WAS TOLD THE

TITLE WOULD BE THERE BY

THE END OF FEBRUARY.

04:39 "Thirty days came

and went" BUT STILL.. NO

TITLE FOR THE S- U-V

THEY'D PAID OFF.

07:02 "We've just got

excuse after excuse"

07:03 BY MARCH... MORE

EXCUSES CAME FROM "CAR

TIME"

06:44 "That their

bookkeeper embezzled

thousands of dollars,

that she had just been

arrested" 06:48

06:51 "We get another

one saying the owner had

gall bladder issues and

he was in the hospital

06:54 ABOUT 90 DAYS

AFTER BUYING THE CAR..

THE COUPLE SAID THEY

JUST WANTED A REFUND.

KEVIN THOUGHT HIS

BEST LEVERAGE WOULD BE

TAKING BACK THE SUV.

19:08 "Dropped it off,

gave one of the owners

the keys, and said

hey..." 19:11

19:17 "I'll be back on

Friday, hopefully you

guys have money" 19:19

BY THE TIME KEVIN WENT

BACK.. THE CAR WAS

GONE... AND THERE WAS NO

REFUND WAITING FOR HIM.

05:10 "At this point,

we're out of our money,

we're out of a vehicle"

05:13 THE COUPLE FILED

COMPLAINTS WITH THE

ATTORNEY GENERAL'S

OFFICE ... AND THE

STATE'S MOTOR VEHICLE

DIVISION.. TURNS OUT..

THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY

PEOPLE "CAR TIME".. IS

ACCUSED OF DOING THIS

TO.

00:16:14 "They've ended

up not granting titles

or vehicles to a few

people in this instance"

16:18 SO FAR... M-V-D

SAYS NINE CUSTOMERS

CLAIM CAR TIME OWES THEM

MORE THAN 82- THOUSAND

DOLLARS IN BAD BUSINESS

DEALS. THE STATE SAYS

THE DEALERSHIP'S SALES

LICENSE

EXPIRED LAST MONTH ...

AND THEY'VE BEEN IN

CONTACT WITH

THE LISTED OWNER .. JOEL

HOUCK.

00:16:47

"Has he explained the

reason why this problem

has come about, to MVD,

at all? 16:52

"He hasn't, he let us

know that he was closing

down his business about

the same time we started

getting some complaints"

16:58 WE WENT TO THE

DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF

ANYONE FROM "CAR-TIME"

COULD ANSWER FOR THE

PROBLEMS. WE ONLY MET

PEOPLE CLAIMING CAR TIME

HAD FOLDED UP SHOP.

02:12:49

"They're going through

some issues... we don't

really know, we're not

really part of it" 12:52

HE TOLD US TO TALK TO

THE CAR LOT'S LANDLORD

15:31

"No, none of the dealers

do... none of the

dealers do, that's not

me, they don't

communicate to me"

00:15:33 HE REFERRED US

TO THIS GUY NAMED

GEORGE.. WHO SAID HE'D

DONE SALES FOR CAR-TIME

"A LONG TIME AGO."

23:34 "They may be

having some problems"

23:04 "The guy that you

need to talk to is Joel

Houck" 23:07 WE NEVER

FOUND JOEL. CAR TIME'S

LISTED PHONE NUMBER WENT

TO SOMEONE WHO SAID THEY

WERE AN OLD EMPLOYEE..

AND HAD NO PHONE NUMBER

FOR THE OWNER. M-V-D

SAYS IT HAS NOW PUT

KEVIN AND STEPHANIE..

AND OTHER CUSTOMERS IN

TOUCH WITH CAR TIME'S

BONDING COMPANY.. WHICH

HAS A 35- THOUSAND

DOLLAR BOND THAT COULD

REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS

WHO'VE BEEN LEFT

HANGING. BUT KEVIN AND

STEPHANIE KNOW THERE ARE

NO GUARANTEES.

09:35 "Do you think

you'll get your money

back?"

09:38 "I honestly don't

think so" 09:39 FOR NOW

THEY'RE OUT 95-HUNDRED

DOLLARS.. A LOT OF MONEY

FOR THIS FAMILY.

10:37 "It doesn't come

that easy for us" 10:39
