Excerpt -

SEOUL — U.S. reconnaissance planes have sniffed out how close the North Koreans are coming to test-firing a Taepodong II missile, which could reach the west coast of the United States.

The success of U.S. spy flights off the east coast of North Korea, in the view of analysts here, explains why North Korea last weekend threatened to shoot down planes that intruded into its air space.

U.S. and South Korean intelligence sources noted the language of the North Korean threat was considerably stronger than the usual almost ritualistic accusations concerning U.S. spy flights. Unlike previous rhetorical blasts, this was attributed directly to the Air Force Command of the Korean People’s Army, not to a foreign ministry spokesman or media commentary.

Any madder, and Kim Jong-Il himself will deliver the rant personally.

North Korea has such hubris for making that statement. They know that they are taking a provocative act for launching that missile.

I hope those f*****s are flying with fighter escort, as the NK's themselves reminded us of the 1969 incident. Not to mention the more recent one with the chinese.

How could they also hide the missile test from reconnaissance satellites in space?
