SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea launched tests Tuesday of two more short-range missiles a day after detonating a nuclear bomb underground, a news report said, pushing the regime's confrontation with world powers further despite the threat of U.N. Security Council action.
Two missiles — one ground-to-air, the other ground-to-ship — with a range of about 80 miles (130 kilometers) were test-fired from an east coast launch pad, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported, citing an unnamed government official.
South Korean spy chief Won Sei-hoon had informed lawmakers earlier Tuesday that a missile test was likely, according to the office of Park Young-sun, a legislator who attended the closed-door briefing.
Yonhap reported that North Korea was preparing to launch a third missile from a west coast site, again citing an unnamed official.
North Korea appeared to be displaying its might a day after conducting an underground atomic test in the northeast that the U.N. Security Council condemned as a "clear violation" of a 2006 resolution banning the regime from developing its nuclear program.

Hmm. NK is looking for an excuse to retake SK and they've calculated that Obama won't do much about it except blame Bush.
I think we are witnessing, first hand, what “present” means.
My money says he’ll offer North Korea millions or even billions in economic assistance in return for a promise of being good.
Hey, you give the empty suit guy too much credit. He was busy golfing yesterday, so he couldn't even be present to vote "present." (Wasn't there an emerg. meeting or something at the UN yesterday on the N Korean test blast? Or am I wrong about that?) I guess TOTUS was on the golf course, too.
He’ll do nothing and the press will oooh and aaaah over how well he did nothing. Good thing we elected a national leader with experience and sound judgement. SARC alert.
Not to defend 0 but he’ll do exactly what Bush did.
......And it will be your money, and your grandkid’s money.

If the Ronery One isn’t careful, they’ll increase the font size next.
although most of this crowd prolly prefers young boys...
What? I already released a strongly worded statement just yesterday.
They know they’ll get nothing but token bitching from us.
If they even get that.
Putting tin foil firmly on, perhaps Obama and NK arranged this all as a big show to ultimately make Obama look tough.
So in a week or two, NK will say they’re backing down, and Obama looks good.
This is just funny stuff.
Looks like the first 100 days have not been good to our President. The poor man’s hair is going WHITE. And he has 3.6 years left in office. I for one don’t think he can hack it.
Wot an attention whore. Obama is moving on. He’s got a nation to move commie don’t ya know.
I'd bet on "Bo" getting banished to Camp David in a couple of years. They won't tell us, but the reason will be that he tried to bite a USSS Agent.
Yeah. All that teleprompter reading, bowling and golfing can be a real bitch.
