Ah, yes - the old projectile dysfunction; alas, I know it well!

For when "failure to launch" means "International Embarrassment"...

It happens to all of us at times. You think maybe he confused? Perhaps Bi-targeted?

I'd guess too much Hennesey VSOP, coupled with excessive wear of platform shoes - but I'm no expert.

Beloved Leader taps plenty of dancing girls from what I hear, but it's not difficult to "pull the babes" when you own a fleet of Mercedes cars - and a monopoly on all the food in the country.

This is no surprise - they named one of the missles after him - the Nodong Jong.

Does this piece of human debris have any idea what the rest of the world thinks of him?
The total egomanic.
His people are starving to death and all he can think of is his status in the world arena of the body polick.

I'm just an Irish girl asking something out of the blue here...
..but am I right in thinking that if the US asks China they will put a bit of shoulder on Korea to cop on?

An interesting point, one many of us have been mulling for a while. China raised the insane pit bull ( North Korea ) and although they're happy it scares some in the West, it's not in their fiscal best interest to let it run wild. China has been making some efforts to reign NK in but the day of reckoning is coming where they'll have chose to go all in or not.

China has been putting some pressure on North Korea for some time, but obviously the psycho isn't listening.
China is like a gangster who is trying to polish up his image, while North Korea is his little brother who is causing chaos throughout the neighborhood and forcing the spotlight to focus on big brother's past.

Well, I guess the US is no-one to talk about rearing disconsolate pit-bull maverick states over the years (c'mon, lets be honest here)...but one WOULD hope that a bit of wellie (Irish term) exerted on China - in it's fledgling, albeit rapidly super-sizing economoic state - should be enough to quell this little gnat, before complete extermination. :)

China needs to work harder in this instance.
She has more to lose than anyone, if this litte shite (Irish term again) rears his sour puss again.

Ha! Now that's funny, I don't care who you are.

I really don't think that China has much influence over Kim Jong-il these days. They may make occasional overtures of cooperation, but the relationship seems even more severely strained that of the United States to France. That said, the Democratic People's Republic of [North] Korea has no closer fried in the world than the People's Republic of China. They don't call North Korea the "Hermit Kingdom" for nothing. The country represents the closest thing to hell on Earth, and any sane leader does his best to keep a safe distance from the leader and gatekeeper of that Hell.
