Here is the link to the story off of the Yahoo headlines. No confirmation it was the one everyone was worried about last month or that the landing was actually "intended".

Again, look at the article. There is no information that it was the ICBM they had on the pad. It very well could have been a lesser missle. Interesting they chose today for the launch.

Looks like they shot two Scuds into the SoJ.

Whoop-dee-diddle.

3 missles according to CNN - 2 little ones and the tadpole

Up to 4 now, still no confirmation that the ICBM was one of them.

lol - you'd figure that after the first one didn't go - they go back and test some more before firing another...unlees it was an act of agression which failed.

N. Korea is really asking for a licking.

Will this be a Japan, China, Russia, U.S. coalition if this leads to war?

Unfortunately, some people had to work on the 4th of July.

Perhaps I've said enough.
