Does anyone know how much weight the ND 2 can toss?
A stern diplomatic note.
There was some conjecture yesterday that fueling had occurred. It was verified on the first thread that AIT started. Not giving you grief, pointing out that cnn is late to the game.
If you think that is bad, you should see what cnn is doing now. I just sampled a bit of it but it seems that they are trying to make the case that 'Bush lied'. Had to turn it off so I may not have gotten the full gist of the report. But any time they have turban Durban talking it can't be the truth.
Followed by a harsh glare.
from Global security:"All of these North Korean engines are using highly corrosive and highly toxic so called storable propellants. These engines can only undergo one test firing before they have to be torn down cleaned out and reassembled for further firings, installation on launch vehicles for a flight test, or missile deployment. This is what is done with Titan-4 core stages liquid fuel engines."
And the surrounding area for, oh, say, five or six hundred miles.
I think we need to pick an island off the "Do" boys country, and vaporize it.
Now its there.
Now its not.
Hey, schmuck boy....can you add two and two?
Sit down, grab a coloring book....and STFU.
You ada?
no it was not taken as grief
just hard to tell sometimes these guys bounce off same story,
i thought the original stories were about trucks arriving
thought this story was about all of the fueling being completed
no problems
Hey, schmuck boy....can you add two and two?
Yah -
What your panties in that wad?
Whether real or a bluff, this is in reaction to the Administration's overture to Iran.
Iran, as far as we know, doesn't have nukes yet, and yet we are bending over to be nice to them.
North Korea wants to be noticed and get in on some of the goodies too. And they are letting us know that they already have nukes.
Such an action would cause a deafining roar of outrage from the left all over the world. NK would instantly become first among the "victim states" whose aspirations are being ground to dust by the evil capitalists of the United States and their monkey slave George Bush. The idea that NK was acting provocatively will be ignored and buried forever. It will never be mentioned again.
exactly
they just want to get paid
In this day and age, whining loudly to the U.N. is not a harsh response. A harsh response means you whine loudly to the U.N. and then you stamp your foot.
If we use the ABL, an invisible laser, all the North Koreans would know is that their missile blew up. We don't have to take credit for it.
I see you beat me at #12.
It's so obvious...and upsetting that it wasn't anticipated by the Administration, who are acting as Clinton did with North Korea in regarding their current policy with Iran.
I guess the next President will need to deal with the missile test conducted by a nuclear Iran.
I hope the launch window is within the next 3 hours.... I can't afford to stay up all night again!
As in an attack on N. Korean territory, I think you're right about that. Taking a shot at it with Aegis might be justified...
Launching this thing is not an act of war, per se, just awfully close to it and highly provocative. If we've "perfected" the Airborne Laser System, I'd prefer we hold that card close to the chest for now. Encouraging the Japanese to go nuclear gives me the willies.
