Yep...Clinton gave them the Uranium and $800 Million a year!

I dub the new ICBM the "Clintondong".

What it may have been is THIS:

DPRK launches two No-dong short range missiles, and one Taepodong-2 long range missile. Japanese intelligence noted activity at both Taepodong launch site AND No-dong launch sites in Northeast North Korea (Yomiuri news in Japanese)....

The ABL is still undergoing ground tests and hasn't even been flight-tested as a complete system.

That said, we've been feverishly working cranking out SM-3s, and the SM2 has some limited ABM capability.

My guess is that the TP-2 met one or more SMs from an Aegis cruiser. (The Japanese haven't bought any SM3s yet.)

SM2, not SM1. I don't think we even have any active deployment ships armed with the SM1 any more.

Brett Baier says they may have tried to launch the big one and it failed. Still breaking.

You are right. You cannot get news or analysis in that way.

Tte best is breaking in Japanese right now in Tokyo through NHK, Yomiuri, Sankei, Kyodo, Asahi, etc., and CNN in the US.

Fox sucks.

Clintonista echoed Albright's statement that Kim Jong Il is "smart" (after all, they spent 6 hours with him).

How do they know he's smart? Does he speak English? He could have been talking smack the whole time and the translator went by a script.
