North Korea missile splashes into Pacific

Japanese broadcaster NHK says North Korea has launched a missile as threatened with a report the second stage landed in the Pacific Ocean about 1,100 miles from Japan.
North Korea had informed international authorities that it planned to launch a rocket sometime between Saturday and Wednesday to put a satellite into orbit.
But the U.S., South Korea, Japan and others suspect it is a cover for testing a long-range missile for the North, which has nuclear weapons. Leaders from those countries had warned Pyongyang not to proceed with the planned rocket launch. Japanese government sources reported it appeared to be a long-range missile.
Such a test would be a first step toward putting a nuclear warhead on a missile capable of reaching Alaska and beyond.
Liftoff took place at 11:30 a.m. local time Sunday from the coastal Musudan-ri launch pad in northeastern North Korea, the South Korean government said. In Washington, the State Department also confirmed the launch.
The rocket flew over Japan and landed in the Pacific Ocean, the Japanese broadcaster NHK said, citing its government.
Resisting calls from President Barack Obama, Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso and Hu Jintao of China to call off the launch, North Korea had announced Saturday that preparations were complete to send communications satellite Kwangmyongsong-2 on a multistage rocket bound for the skies over Japan.

...increasing concern in the White House that our missile defense system will prove its usefulness before the Obamadroids can get it shut down.

How many more baby steps will Obama and the democrats allow a nut with a nuke make?
Will it be the second, third or fourth test before Obama allows our country to be hit with a live nuke?

Why don't we just give N. Korea a stern warning, and plan a meeting/focus group to try to understand them better and let them know we really do respect them--no, wait! That IS what the Pres. is doing.

With relatively little trouble, the Japanese could build a craft that would slip into North Korea and drop a parcel of their choosing directly on Chia Pet’s doorstoop.
