N. Korea believed to be preparing for ICBM launch
Yonhap ^ | 5-30-2009
Posted on May 29, 2009 7:54:51 PM PDT by rdl6989

SEOUL, May 30 (Yonhap) — North Korea appears to be preparing for a long-range missile test, an informed source said Saturday, defying the U.N. Security Council whose members are negotiating a resolution to punish it for its recent nuclear test.

The source, asking not to be identified, said an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) was recently spotted on a cargo train near Pyongyang, the North Korean capital.

The missile has since been moved to an undisclosed location, according to the source.

“It usually takes about two months to set up a launch pad, but the process could be done in as little as two weeks, which means the North could launch a long-range missile as early as in mid-June,” the source said.

I find it interesting that "Many vehicles mounted with mobile launchers are being spotted" - are we sure this is all just a test....

“North Korea and the Real Nuclear Option”
By: Dr. Earl Tilford
FrontPageMagazine.com | Tuesday, June 02, 2009

SNIPPET: “Those are the options, and none of them are better than idle threats and belligerent banter. It takes a super power to be a superpower. When a nation is economically strapped, more concerned with continuing comfortable living for the present than overburdening its progeny with debt, so uncertain of its moral efficacy as to begs the world’s forgiveness for sins more imagined than real, and has gutted its military and intelligence capabilities to this extent, it finds itself unable to respond to “the gravest provocations,” even when issued from someone as ridiculous as North Korea’s “Dear Leader.””
