SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea has begun activating observation cameras and radars around the coastal site in the northeast, a South Korean report said Sunday, as the communist country prepares to launch a rocket in defiance of international warnings.

The top part of the rocket mounted at the Musudan-ri launch pad has also been uncovered, the Yonhap news agency reported, citing an unnamed South Korean official. The report did not say whether a satellite was mounted on top.

South Korea's Defense Ministry and the National Intelligence Service, the country's main spy agency, declined to confirm the report.

Yes, Comrade. It is a good day to get our butts kicked if we launch.

Prepare to launch.

Is there still time for Obama to bow down to NK too?

[Uncle George]

After we jam their guidance it should make a U turn back to Commieland.

Yowzer.

Are those hats really that big? OR are those generals just really small?

I know what else will soon be lighting up. The after-burners on our F-16s, the launch codes on our submarines in the Pacific and the running lights on our B-52s.

The tail of that rocket will never reach the top of the launch tower.

The tail of that rocket will never reach the top of the launch tower.

Hopefully the weather is still windy, overcast, and rainy. There will be a conflagration and lots of dead people if this thing launches.

Reckon what kind of electronics Japan has? Rocket might not make 200 feet,will be called a failed launch . In the early 70’s every billboard I seen in Tokyo was electronic.

With obama in power it will never happen.

I would love for that to happen.

But with Zero in charge—what makes you think we will do anything but watch?

If anything, I thought with GWB in charge two years ago, the first missile would never have been launched too.

I’d love an encouraging word...........

[hugorand]

If the launch is a failure, which is likely, North Korea will simply claim Japan or the U.S. shot it down

Think I have time to run and buy some more popcorn?

North Korea will simply claim Japan or the U.S. shot it down.

My thoughts exactly.
