N. Korea May Have Fired Up To 12 Missiles

Six launches including Taepodong-2 were confirmed...the additional launches were being investigated

It is possible that N. Korea launched six additional launches of short-range and shore-to-ship missiles, in addition to six launches of Taepodong-2, Nodong, and Scud surface-to-surface missiles, during dawn and morning hours of July 5th.

Senior government sources said, "The confirmed launches so far by N. Koreans are one Taepodong launch and five launches of Nodong and Scud missiles, totaling six. However, we have indications that, between 7am and 8:13am, six additional missiles are launched, which we are trying to confirm." These additional missiles are likely to be 'Seersucker' shore-to-ship missiles (range: 100~120km) and Scuds(range: 300~500km.)

The (S. Korean) government officially announced (this morning) that, on July 5th, at 5am, N. Korea launched Taepodong-2 missile at Taepodong, Hwa-dae County, N. Hamkyong Province, and, starting at 3:32am, several Scud and Nodong missiles at Kitaeryong, Anbyun County, Kangwon Province.

Intelligence agencies determined that Taepodong-2 blew up mid-air over East Sea, 40 seconds after its launch, turning the test into a failure.

Mr. Yoo is a veteran military affairs correspondent. It seems that there are indeed more than six. A lot of decoy fireworks. Show of force? Prevent possible interception by MD systems? Or both?

Southern truckers are without a doubt some of the best people on the planet. Ok... good American truck drivers, just thought about all the places I've been on the road besides the south are good people.
Georgia, you are so right to enlist them in our fight against terrorists.

Speaking as a native Georgian, and the former owner/operator of a wrecker service who saw lots of what Paul Harvey used to call "The Knights of the Road?"

Thank you, very kindly.

Thanks for the heds up, I heard about the deal in Georgia about 6 weeks ago.

A large portion of the industry is WAY insulted

not that we should be keeping our eyes out for stuff, moreover how does a nongovernment sponsered program become a requisite for continued employment?

anyone getting a new or renewed CDL MUST have a certificate or not get thier license

And of course in the American way there is an outfit that for a fee will certify them for a program that only requires listening to a cd for an hour and to call an 800 number to register when the cd is done

My opinion?, the ATA who sponsors this program needed to finish spending the 24 million dollor grant HSA gave them and needed bodies to show for it and the Georgia dmv fell for a pitch or got a hell of a dinner.

screw em!

I use 911...

now I'll put my soap box away and go have a beer...

Thanks again.
