| North Korea Fires Short-Range Missiles |
| 2007-06-07 |
| North Korea launched short-range missiles off its western coast Thursday, South Korea's Defense Ministry said, but it was still unclear how many had been fired. "We have intelligence that North Korea fired short-range missiles into the waters off its western coast, and we are trying to confirm how many were fired and what type of missiles they are," a Defense Ministry official said on customary condition of anonymity. The news came two weeks after North Korea test-fired at least one short-range missile into eastern coastal waters, which South Korean and U.S. officials played down as part of the communist country's regular military drills. Thursday's missile launches come as North Korea is refusing to move on its pledge to shut down its main nuclear reactor over a delay in withdrawing of $25 million at a Macau bank, which was blacklisted by the U.S. |

| #4 I got a better idea. Launch an airstrike to permenantly degrade North Korea's ability to wage nuclear war against missile launch sites. It is criminal to allow an insane regime to build and test it's nuclear weapons' means. First Strike North Korea! |

| #2 Nah, don't do that. Instead, scoff at 'em. "Hey, that all you got little man? Bet you can't fire off ten at a time!" And when they try that up the ante to 30, then 50. Make them shoot off all their missiles in tests. At some point they'll run out. |
