North Korea has activated radar for its planned launch of what the country claims as a communications satellite, signaling that the launch is imminent, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said Sunday, quoting an unnamed South Korean source.

Yonhap also said South Korea's presidential office convened a National Security Council meeting in a sign confirming the imminent launch. The presidential office earlier said the NSC will be convened only after an actual launch.

North Korea has announced that it would launch a satellite sometime between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. from Saturday to Wednesday.

Still imminent? Sounds like someone forgot the matches to light the fuse.

Geraldo is breathlessly hoping it will be within the hour of his broad cast tonight, but not before he's done sucking up to the Obamas being super stars over seas.

I know what you mean about Geraldo. When I heard what he was talking about, I turned it back to the Military Channel. I’ll just watch FR for the “heads-up” to switch back...

“Wartime Operations Order Issued”

By Moon Sung Hwee, from Jagang in 2006
[2009-04-03 21:38 ]

SNIPPET: “Starting the countdown to the scheduled rocket launch, the North Korean General Staff issued at 2 P.M. on April 1 an emergency order, “On Keeping a Wartime Operational Status,” to all military organizations and the People’s Army.

A source from North Hamkyung Province said on Friday in an interview with Daily NK, “An urgent decree under the name of the General Staff of the People’s Army was issued through the military communications line, aimed specifically at the People’s Army, the People’s Security Forces, the Worker’s and Peasant’s Red Guard and the Young Red Guard.”

The source added that, “A decree issued by the General Staff generates much more tension than an order from the National Defense Commission. Therefore, locals are now asking, ‘What if a real war occurs?’ and the feeling of unrest is growing.””
