N.Korean Missile Train on the Move

N.Korean Missile Train on the Move

A special North Korean train which transported a long-range rocket or intercontinental ballistic missile to a launch site in Tongchang-ri, North Pyongan Province in May recently moved from a missile research center in Sanum-dong, Pyongyang to another launch site in Musudan-ri, North Hamgyong Province, a South Korean government source said Tuesday.

South Korean and U.S. authorities believe the North may have transported a second intercontinental missile to the launch site. The North launched a long-range rocket from Musudan-ri on April 5, which had also been transported by special train.

Seoul and Washington are wondering whether the North will launch two long-range missiles from both launch sites at the same time or whether the train is just a smokescreen to confuse watchers.

North Korea has threatened to launch another missile in protest against UN sanctions over its nuclear test. It apparently has three to four intercontinental ballistic missiles, and may be keeping one or two more at the research center in Sanum-dong.

First reaction is to say, “Yikes, we better be on the look out for NORKS laying railroad track to Cleveland”

But this is no joke. Capt. Hopey Changey is getting called out to bike rack after school, and Jong Il knows we have weak President.

Sooner or later the North Koreans are going to splash a missile within sight of the Golden Gate. I would expect Nancy Pelosi will then change her mind about a missile defense system.
