North Korea condemns U.S. missile test
2006-09-02
But I thought you said sovereign countries had a right to these things!
PYONGYANG, North Korea, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- North Korea Saturday called a U.S. missile defense test a threat and vowed to strengthen its defense measures in response.
Kimmie, when it comes to "defensive measures", methinks your ideas and ours differ. But you knew that.
North Korea's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland released a statement saying the U.S. test, which was conducted Friday over the Pacific Ocean, "was aimed at attacking us and intercepting our missiles," the BBC reported Saturday.
Of course. We have no other purpose on this earth than to attack your pipsqueak little failed state.
The committee also called the United States the "the main culprit" in the threat of war on the Korean peninsula.
I think I may know what the problem is now.
"It is a folly that the United States wields the truncheons of power in order to scare someone into submission ... This only leads the army and the people to firm up their determination to build up our self-defensive military deterrence," the statement said.
Sounds like a confidence problem. Soon to be an economic problem. Yes, we can even make nuclear weapons too expensive for you, too! Right after we invade wherever you live in the middle of the night. And put snakes under your bed.
The U.S. Missile Defense Agency earlier announced an interceptor had successfully halted a target fired from Alaska.
Without any fog, of course. :-)
"What we did today is a huge step in terms of our systematic approach to continuing to field, continuing to deploy and continuing to develop a missile defence system for the US, for our allies, our friends, our deployed forces around the world," said Lt. Gen. Henry Obering, director of the MDA.
Yes. Our allies and friends who for some reason haven't said anything negative about our stoopid ballistic missile defense system recently.

#5  Did he mean the missile shootdown? If so the correct headline is:

"Norks Condemn US Test, Devaluation of their Missile Crop"

"[T]runcheons of power". Finally some sort of spittle factor! Barely a lackluster 1.65 overall, but a whole lot better than their recent aenemic fare. I guess their propaganda writers must be too hungry to concentrate.
