I can read the Sunday morning headline now "U.S. Navy thanks Kim Jong-il for successful ballistic intercept practice".

Nice name for a missile.

Guess you missed the part in history class that taught we've (the US) already been at war with N. Korea since 1950 (I know we're not really, but technicalities are technicialities).  If that thing so much as "malfunctions" and tips its nose in the general direction of NATO territory, it and the facilities it was launched from are dust.  We won't do anything else further than that though with China around the corner (although as I understand it China isn't that happy with N. Korea nowadays, but everyone knows they are even less friendly to the idea of a neighboring country being occupied by foreign forces), but we probably wont shoot it down if it actually gets airborn and looks like it won't be a threat.

This is interesting. I understand the U.S. side, as we haven't been talking to N.Korea for quite some time now... But what if it was an ally of the U.S. testing their ballistic missiles, uh I mean satellite launching? Would we be warning them too? 

So in some way I can see why N. Korea would be threatening anyone wanting to shoot down a project (Satellite, Missile or whatever) that's been in the works for many years, and costs them billions.

I guess we will find out soon enough. I just hope for their sake and ours, it is what they say it is....


Thanks for posting the updates BigBOBCH

Oh no, not North Korea.
Russia isn't really in a position to back them up anymore (at least against a major country like the United States) and my impression of Chino-Korean relations is that they are rather strained, though I may be wrong...

I'm waiting for N.Korea to declare war on Canada, Panama, and the Galapagos Islands. Would make about as much sense as anything else they do.

For some reason, i'm not apprehensive in the least about N.Urea.
Saber rattling dimwit running a country that has enough nuclear subs watching it to keep him in check.
I'm sure he knows this.

I could be wrong and he may do somthing really stupid, but I don't see him benefiting from a confrontational missle launch.
If it is a satellite, he should be allowed to place it in orbit as many other countries have already done so.(We can always destroy it later)

Just my opinion

I just wonder if it is indeed a communication satellite, how long it will be before we can talk too the youth and people in N. korea and tell them and show them how bellybutton backwards and hogwash they're entire nation has become.

It's already been war.  Not sure who else they plan on going to war with.
