Pictures of the site from which North Korea plans to launch a suspected rocket have emerged as Japan ordered its military to prepare to intercept any dangerous debris should the launch go wrong.
Pyongyang has said it would launch a satellite between April 4-8 that regional powers believe will actually be a test of its longest-range missile, the Taepodong-2. It has already positioned what is believed to be the missile on a launch pad.
"I have issued an order ... to prepare to destroy any object that might fall on Japan as a result of an accident involving a flying object from North Korea," Defence Minister Yasukazu Hamada told reporters after a meeting of Japan's Security Council.

to prepare to destroy any object that might fall on Japan as a result of an accident involving a flying object from North KoreaWe should say the same thing and use this instance as an opportunity as a testbed. Let N Korea make the case shooting down an 'errant' missile posing a 'threat to civilians' (on board a nearby cruise ship, for example) is an act of war.

NK = non issue. Let SK and Japana deal with it.
We are in far more danger from the Teleprompter, Pelosi and Reid.

This is nothing to be worried about.
Once they get the gigantic bottle in place, THEN we can worry.

Hmm. Interesting point there. I guess our nearly 90,000 American troops both in S. Korea, and the country I am currently in, Japan, don’t count??
