There are lots of options, my point was a nuke was just too messy, unless it's a "tactical battlefield nuke" i have read some about, but how do you deploy it in this situation.

As he is a satillite up-link specialist with the special units attached to the division headquarters, I imagine he has been up 24/7 for some time now...and will be for a long time.

Nothing to report here. Jimmy Carter solved the problem and brought us lasting world peace after he charmed Kim Il Sung with his sagacity and goodness in 1994. That's why he won the Nobel Peace Prize. Doesn't anybody remember?

I just read where the Japanese say they have sent two warships out here off the coast and say they will shoot it down if launched.

The information came from US and South Korean satellite images of activity at the site, the daily said, citing an unnamed government official.

A Japanese daily, the Sankei Shimbun, reported that the missile could be fired as early as Sunday, citing unnamed government officials.

Japan is acutely worried by this, says the BBC's Chris Hogg in Tokyo. The government says any launch would threaten the country's security.

Thank you Diogenesis.

The North Korean military seems a bit perturbed.

Launching a missle across the pole has much less range than launching the same missle toward the east. This is due to the earth's rotation, which is close to a 1000 mph eastward at Korean latitudes. (That is why most sattellite launches are toward the east).

They don't have anything that will reach any further than the west coast

I'm not fear-mongering, far from it, but this might be the last step that allows them to launch their "sattilite". A Sub-orbital icbm allows them to "go around the world". That's why sputnik was such a big deal. As to the nk...I wouldn't bet on em accuracy-wise for anything and this is just a test to launch a sattalite, we will return you to your regularly scheduled broadcast...

I think the flags are being raised because 'Team America: World Polics' just came out on DVD over there.

Baghdad, IRAQ -- In this still from video footage released by the U.S. Army, Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell speaks during a press conference in Baghdad Iraq, Saturday, June 17, 2006. The US military said troops searched Saturday for two soldiers that went missing after an attack that killed one of their comrades at a traffic checkpoint in the so-called 'Triangle of Death' just south of Baghdad.
