| NKor warns intercepting 'satellite' will prompt counterstrike |
| 2009-03-09 |
| North Korea warned Monday that any move to intercept what it calls a satellite launch and what other countries suspect may be a missile test-firing would result in a counterstrike against the countries trying to stop it. ''We will retaliate (over) any act of intercepting our satellite for peaceful purposes with prompt counterstrikes by the most powerful military means,'' the official Korean Central News Agency quoted a spokesman of the General Staff of the Korean People's Army as saying. |

| #5 Retaliation? With What? they can barely afford to launch one (Assuming they have any intention to launch at all), and this isn't another publicity stunt that can't really lift at all. |

| #3 If countries such as the United States, Japan or South Korea try to intercept the launch, the North Korean military will carry out "a just retaliatory strike operation not only against all the interceptor means involved but against the strongholds" of the countries, it said. "Shooting our satellite for peaceful purposes will precisely mean a war," it added Gee, thanks for cutting our missile defense, President Dumbass |

| #2 I don't want to intercept their satellite. I want to intercept the ICBM test vehicle that is launching it. |

| #1 Is anyone else thinking that sending a barrage of cruise missiles into the NKor launch site ASAP would just clear the air? |
