This is the part where the U.S. sends its condolences for the "apparent" misfire of the weapon. Let the Koreans, Russians, and Chinese try and figure out if we had anything to do with it. Not. at. all. The only truly appropriate behavior is to "leak" a story to - let's see, I've got it! - The New York Times purporting that a secret South Korean/U.S. agent highly placed in the TD-2 development program deliberately sabotaged the launch in order to embarrass Kim Jong Il and make him personally appear to be a laughingstock in the eyes of the world. That ought to set their program back at least 10 years. A nice touch would be to add that George Bush, Don Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney were ROTFLTAO.

Launching a Scud into the drink is a prime test to prove your third-world status.

LOL. It proves that he is top of heap in the Third World. Just pray that he does not get the technical capability to jump two steps.

"Made my day. And it was already a good day. Now we just get to watch to see which of our ships (or Japan's) have an empty LVS tube getting a replacement SM-3 when next in port."
Happy forth of July eraser head. Heh heh. But that won't deter them. They must continue spending money on what will be usless weapon systems while their people starve.

Yep...and we got the shuttle into orbit while the NK couldn't get the "big dog" to last more than 35 seconds. Kind of embarrassing if you ask me.

... a lot that we don't know goes on in the background. Yep. It has been said that one reason the Soviets signed the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty is that the US showed them that we got better data from their tests than they did, themselves...

"Experts believe the Taepodong-2 — Korea's most advanced missile with a range of up to 9,320 5-10 miles — could not reach the United States with a light payload phalanx of Chinese kitchen gods on board."

Probably. They were using defective parts.

Isn't this all just a proxy for China? The missile testing the intimidation of the U.S. and Japan?
I'm pretty sure it was Bill Gertz that I heard say that this Taepodong-2 could very well have technology in it that Bill Clinton gave China via the Ron Brown/Commerce Dept./campaign contribution bit of treason. That chaps my hide more than anything little Kimmy could do.

Time for us to fire a long range missile, but first, let's locate the president of North Korea and put the missile on target. A small nuke would do.
To: 2ndClassCitizen
Ours would guaranteed to launch and hit the target.

I think it would be great if we could have shot a missile from our east coast and about a mile above Pyongyang it explodes into a magnificent fireworks display ending with one of those red, white and blue flag bursts.

Guess we should start printing those special t-shirts that say "millions spent on defunct missiles and all I got was this stupid T-Shirt?"
To: princess leah
That is a great idea. I would like one of those shirts.

Me, too, at least for one more week. She's only 60? Wow! Talk about being rode hard and put away ugly.

Ascent stage. Boost phase. Didn't even make Mach 1. Encountered a "mid-flight failure" after a mere 35 seconds. Can you say, "OWNED!"Meet my buddy THAAD.
He's a quiet fellow, rather bright, and not given to showy displays.
He just toils in the background, unseen but effective.
