TOKYO (AP) Japanese broadcaster NHK says North Korea has test-launched a missile.
Huh. Well, I hope someone's in charge over there and they're not firing these things off willy-nilly.
We are fine, NK is continuing to dig its grave
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?
Note: I live in Tacoma, 32 miles south of Seattle. If it can do wha people think it can do....
Let's just say I'm more than a little concerned.
CNN reporting both missles are short range.
I have been an advocate of that since 2002.
6 months? north korea could nuke them in 6 minutes, what good is saying "we could have them in 6 months".
Could the first missile have been a pump-fake???
So when is the 3rd going up?
Still in the air?
Or just another short-ranger like the first one?
Maybe they're going for quantity over quality.
brett baier on FNC now - NORAD briefing the President.
Another short range.
Large missle is still on launch pad
per CNN...
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.
Jack Kemp...is that you?
N. Korea Launches Missile Into Sea of Japan

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.
