New report...they have fired a SECOND missile. Just coming over the wire on Fox, per Japanese defense ministry.

Huh. Well, I hope someone's in charge over there and they're not firing these things off willy-nilly.

Japan could have nuclear weapons in less than 6 months if they wanted too and a functional delivery system soon after.

And while Fox is announcing the second missile launch, this dem, head up his a$$, is complaining about Iraq and not doing enough about NK. Forgive me if I'm wrong but wasn't it is Dem God president who gave NK nukes in the first place?

Second missle launched ...type still unknown per Fox News.

Still in the air?

Or just another short-ranger like the first one?

Mr. Mew just heard (CNN) same launch site, same model missile for the second.

Maybe they're going for quantity over quality.

Japan is protected by our nuclear arsenal. I'd put a year's pay that right now there is an Ohio class SSBN is sitting somewhere off North Korea.

According to Fox there were definately two missles but don't know if either one was the one we've been worried about. per Fox, NORAD is confirming two missles.

N. Korea Launches Missile Into Sea of Japan
Jul 04 4:19 PM US/Eastern
http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/07/04/D8ILCR380.html
TOKYO

North Korea test-launched a missile Wednesday that landed in the Sea of Japan, Japanese media reported.

The reclusive communist state launched the missile at 3:32 a.m., or 2:32 p.m. Tuesday EDT, and it crashed into the Sea of Japan several minutes later, public broadcaster NHK reported.

NHK said Japanese government officials were trying to determine whether it was a long-range ballistic missile that had been readied for launch recently. North Korea had been thought to be preparing a test-launch of its Taepodong 2 missile, which is believed to be able to reach parts of the United States.

Officials were not immediately available to confirm the report.

I'm sure there is, but I'd rather have Japan defending itself. Its also a check in the region on China, China is behind all of this.
