[Slim]

[unde0087]

Are they just looking to get their ass handed to them? But on the other hand, they know O Bama is a complete pussy and won't do anything about it.

[yisman]

they can get away with whatever they want with Obamination in power.

[unde0087]

[raydog]

do we really not know where its headed? shit, i cant stand to watch news this late, sounds like a civics lecture

[raydog]

I don't think it'll end up in your backyard, but you better start drawing up a will/lawsuit just in case...

[wtf]

would not waste one once of american blood on that attention whore kim jung il

he has a much chance with a successful launch of a real weapon as martians landing on the white house

they are shockingly poor and looking for handouts

[Slim]

Kim Jong Il is awesome in this.

[pico]

they should nuke japan.

[HAPPY BOY]

Hey Pico tell your boys to cut the crap out.

[pico]

I know Clinton did it and I'm sure it has continued through Bush and Obama but the USA gives North Korea foreign aid-food relief.In the scheme of things it's not a huge amount but it's probably 50 million or less but it's funny because the USA is dead broke-in debt and they are paying someone who is a threat to them.You couldn't have a funnier scenario in a Looney Tunes cartoon.It would be like the roadrunner giving Wylie Cayote money to buy better ACME brand devices to catch him to eat.

They know where it is going. It landed in the middle of the Pacific. The Russians deployed fighter aircraft, and the US and Japs deployed destroyers and interceptors to shoot down errant debris. We are gonna need more than just verbal warnings from our boy Obama... Taking North Korea to task with the UN is not going to accomplish anything either.

[jjgold]

Was a failure, thing died out.

[wtf]

this is all a big bluff, come on guys

i know koreans very well

do you remember they way they caved in like a house of cards when they had some korean hostages in the middle east, they paid like 20 million ransom like HUGE PUSSIES, then pulled their troops

Correct. The UN is almost worthless, but Obama is not very bright*, so he thinks the UN can handle it.

*- Or he's trying to ruin this country. One or the other.

Someone ask Obama how well the UN did with Iraq, when Hussein obviously had some weapons he was hiding and violating UN sanctions. He kicked the inspectors out and the UN did exactly nothing. What annoyed me about the war in Iraq was that it could've been avoided had the UN bothered to try enforcing its own policies.

[yisman]

i know koreans very well

Do you play cards with Kim Jong Il?

[wtf]

Do you play cards with Kim Jong Il?

yea, he always wins on the river though, dont know why

they always act like they are so proud and rugged, but capitulate the first sign of power

[AgainstAllOdds]

We wouldnt ever go to war with N. Korea because they would bury us.

[Slim]

Kim Jong Il can rule the world.

[tacomax]

Since these weapons have still not been found, it makes you wonder if they were really ever there. Either that or he found a really good hiding place.

[Slim]

I think they're still there. Iraq is a huge country with lots of sand. I saw a documentary where they had those big dig machines to dig trenches for the bodies. They could've easily dug a huge trench and put the weapons in there and cover it up. You could look for a hundred years and still not find them.

[BobHarvey]

Unleash Chuck Norris and Rambo on his lame ass.

[BatemanPatrickl]

This guy is going the way of Fidel Castro; he'll be dead in 3 years.

US should be worried about China, not North Korea.

[BobHarvey]

You knew eventually he'd be tested with some international crisis. Let's see how he handles this challenge.

As far as North Korea goes their lighweights in the overall scheme of things and Japan will end up slapping them down.

[BobHarvey]

If you're North Korea and you fire your missle despite numerous warnings, don't you think you should have had a little better performance than landing in the middle of the Pacific? What are the odds they get away with a second "practice" launch?

Dude - it took you a month to grade a fukkin' contest. You should be the last person to have a go at someone running the country.

[crisp]

it was a pretty good lauch if you ask me. middle of the pacific means he's halfway to the us. i hope next time it reaches alaska and hits sarah palin right in her fukkin head.

[treece]

I'd like to see a missle hit Alaska and see what obama will say. Well uh Alaska wasn't really part of the US so uh it should not affect us because uh nobody lived there.

Two rounds of North Korean missile tests were conducted on July 5, 2006. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK or North Korea) reportedly fired at least seven separate missiles. These included two short-range Nodong-2missiles, one Scud missile and up to two long-range Taepodong-2 missiles; the latter having been estimated by United States intelligence agencies as having a potential range reaching as far as Alaska in its current stage. Some, including Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer, believed that North Korea would carry out additional missile tests in the days that followed.

President Bush was briefed on the activity around 5:40 PM EDT (21:40 UTC). He spoke in the Oval Office on the tests on July 5, 2006 and stated that the tests only "isolated Korea". Bush has said that America would continue to encourage six-party talks, rather than be drawn into one-on-one negotiations with North Korea.

So basically, if Obama doesn't respond with an invasion he's a weak pussy like Dumbya?

[daggerkobe]

Correct.

North Korea continues to position forces into the area just north of the DMZ— in a position to threaten Combined Forces Command and all of Seoul with little warning. Seventy percent of their active force, including approximately 700,000 troops, over 8,000 artillery systems, and 2,000 tanks, is postured within 90 miles of the Demilitarized Zone. This percentage continues to rise despite the June 2000 summit. Most of this force in the forward area is protected in over 4,000 underground facilities, out of over 11,000 nationwide. From their current locations, these forces can attack with minimal preparations or warning. The protracted southward deployment follows a tactic of “creeping normalcy”—a significant movement over a period of many years that would attract too much international attention if accomplished over weeks or months.

The Reserve Military Training Unit consist of approximately 1.7 million persons (men 17-45 and unmarried women 17-30) who are not either in active duty or important rear area personnel. They are mobilized under supervision of provincial military units, for a total of forty days' training out of the year.

The Worker-Peasant Militia is a combination of older men aged 45-60, along with men ages 17-45 and unmarried women ages 17-30 who are not included in Reserve Military Training Unit. They train for a total of thirty days out of the year. Their current numbers stand at 4.1 million.

The Young Red Guards consist of 1.2 million male and female Higher Middle (High) School students aged 14-16. They are subject to a mandatory four-hour drill session every Saturday and a total of 160 hours of on-campus drills annually. A total of 450 hours of off-campus training is also mandatory.

As of 1996 the main equipment of the North Korean ground forces included over 3,800 tanks including 2,750 T-54/55/59s, 800 new model T-62 and light tanks, and about 250 outdated T-34s. It was also equipped with more than 2,800 armored vehicles consisting of BTR series and Type M1973. Its artillery forces possessed over 8,300 of the 76.2 mm, 100 mm, 122 mm, 130 mm, 152 mm, and 170 mm howitzers and guns, over 2,700 of the 107 mm, 122 mm, 132 mm, 240 mm multiple rocket launchers, and more than 12,500 anti-aircraft guns.

In other words.... NOT Iraq. No wonder Dumbya was too much of a pussy to invade.
