N. Koreans Ordered To Raise Their Flag At 2PM, and Listen to Broadcast
N. Korean leadership ordered its citizen to raise their flag and listen to their (government) communique from TV in the evening, according to Sankei Shimbun (of Japan), quoting Japanese government sources.
The paper said it is paying attention this development because it could be related to the launch of Taepodong-2.

RAUNCH THE MISSILE
I'm not, my girl is in San Fran right now.
It always seems that between Iran, Al Qaeda & NK, that when one is getting seemingly more attention/press coverage, another feels neglected, and must act up again. I was thinking it would be Iran, after oil went below $70. NK has supposedly told our diplomat(s) that they would give nukes to others (during lunchbreak at a diplomatic meeting a few years back).
Sounds like a 1 AM Eastern live thread might be in order. Since Little Kim says this is not a test, might this be a war shot? Perhaps we'll find out if he has nukes after all. Wouldn't that be a flashy way to announce one's entry into the nuclear club.
Wht would they tell everyone to put the NK flag out and watch the TV at 2 PM for a satellite launch? They didn't do this when they shot across the Sea of Japan the last time.
Nevermind, I see my time estimate was 2 hours too late and we're now in Breaking News.

North Korea is accelerating preparations for a long-range missile test, which ``may be imminent'' the Associated Press said, citing an unidentified U.S. government official.
Satellite photos suggest that about 10 fuel tanks were delivered near to Musudan-ri launch pad in the country's northeast North Hamgyong province, South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported today, citing an unidentified South Korean government official. Previous satellite images captured a missile on a truck at the launch pad, news reports said.
I'm sorry; you've probably repeated this before but I just got home a little while ago and would like to know -- what time is the missile launched scheduled?
What is the meaning of those fuel tanks?
I'm sorry I'm so far behind on this story that a lot of you are repeating yourselves when I ask these questions.
Hey Howlin, welcome back ... looks like a live thread ping might be in order. Things must be pretty busy at NORAD right now. FR to Defcon 2!!!
btt
Well, maybe this "test" will be aimed at Los Angeles. News articles keep saying that this missile can reach the US, so maybe it's not a test, but a real launch.
And if that's the case -- please don't let the libs keep the US from nuking N. Korea and Iran, while they are at it.
Peach, the title was changed to reflect an 11 PM Eastern flag raising. That is assumed to be the launch time.
Hence, it was Bill Clinton and the democrats who fully armed North Korea with nuclear bombs.
0100 Sunday 18 June Eastern time.
The NK gov't says to keep an eye out.
What did the French President do?!?!?!
