The only noteworthy piece of info in this article is that it said the launch can happen as early as this Sunday.

Would they launch it this Sunday? Ping!

Some government officials suggested Pyongyang was adopting a hostile posture in a bid to break the impasse in negotiations with Washington.

No; it's more plausible that Lil' Kim is upset with and jealous of all the press attention that the nutcases in Iran and Latin America are getting.

and if it happens ? so what?

They can hit us, we can hit them.

North Korea furious after U.S. exposes missile test prep

Excerpt -


SEOUL — U.S. reconnaissance planes have sniffed out how close the North Koreans are coming to test-firing a Taepodong II missile, which could reach the west coast of the United States.
The success of U.S. spy flights off the east coast of North Korea, in the view of analysts here, explains why North Korea last weekend threatened to shoot down planes that intruded into its air space.

U.S. and South Korean intelligence sources noted the language of the North Korean threat was considerably stronger than the usual almost ritualistic accusations concerning U.S. spy flights. Unlike previous rhetorical blasts, this was attributed directly to the Air Force Command of the Korean People’s Army, not to a foreign ministry spokesman or media commentary.

What if they're only 'testing', and the missile lands in downtown Tokyo? C'est la vie?

S. Korean media Yonhap News is reporting that, according to local experts, it is quite likely that U.S. tries to intercept the N. Korean missile Taepodong-2 if it is launched.

Maybe it's all a show?

But it explains Ronnie's Ray Gun. (Ronald Reagan aka Star Wars).

This post is actually in code (of sorts).

After all, we all know what Clinton's folly was...

And Jimmy Carter the Peanut farmer would have all had us working for peanuts...

Just wish we had a tricky Dicky for a situation like this...

There was an school yard tale I heard circa 1960 that was reversed after Mary Jo and Ted had their plunge from a bridge.

It went something like "Kennedy-Kennedy in the White House, Nixon-Nixon in the doghouse".

Then after Chappaquidick, it went something like:

"Nixon-Nixon in the White House, Kennedy-Kennedy in the dog house..."

I have always liked Ronnie's Ray Gun and that film George Lucas made in the late 70s (Star Wars).

Maybe it is the time for the attack of the clones...

Ah, but what will the future bring...

[Dionysius]

It would be a great Fathers' Day present for me if this thing would explode spectacularly on its launch pad. An indescribably juicy bonus would be if Krazy Kim was inspecting it up close at the time.

[P.O.E.]

What type o' dong?

(sorry)

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

I see your ding-dong missile and raise you a Minuteman.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

It is only fitting that Bill Clinton be in attendance.

Hope all the military-hating lefties in San Francisco don't expect the US military to defend them from attack now....

Would this be a violation of the 1953 cease fire agreement if fired?
