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.

Tenet: North Korea has ballistic missile capable of hitting U.S.
Feb. 13, 2003

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/asiapcf/east/02/12/us.nkorea/index.html


While testifying at a Senate committee hearing in Washington, CIA Director George Tenet was asked whether North Korea had a ballistic missile capable of reaching the U.S. West Coast.

Before answering, Tenet turned to very quickly consult with aides sitting behind him.

"I think the declassified answer, is yes, they can do that," Tenet said.

The estimate is not new -- it was laid out in an unclassified CIA document in December 2001-- but Tenet is the most senior U.S. official to say so publicly.

The 2001 report said North Korea's Taepo Dong 2 missile may be capable of hitting the West Coast of the United States, as well Alaska and Hawaii.

The revelation came shortly after the United Nations nuclear watchdog agency declared North Korea in breach of international nuclear agreements and sent the issue to the U.N. Security Council. (Full story)
