N. Korea places Taepodong-2 missile on launch pad: sources
2009-03-26
North Korea has positioned what is believed to be a Taepodong-2 long-range ballistic missile on the launch pad at a facility in Musudanri, sources close to Japan-U.S. relations said Wednesday night. North Korea has said it plans to send a satellite into orbit from the facility between April 4 and 8. But Japan, the United States and South Korea suspect the planned launch may actually be a test-firing of a ballistic missile.

#7  I like the airborne laser idea, but with a twist. Don't use it full power, just enough to weaken the metal. It might even be fairly invisible light. This would be an excellent opportunity to try out the theory. And then, only if it doesn't work, they should use their "love light" at full power.

#6  I'd look for a Friday-Sunday week end launch sequence...when Barry is out of town, Chicago or at the G20. He'll need to get back home and "get the facts" before he does anything or nothing.

#5  I'd tell them if no satellite orbits it's an ICBM site and bomb it. Let them decide...

#4  Dead right, let them think it's a launch/fueling accident, laser the bastard on the pad, preferably the same second they light the engines.

US seeks REGIONAL MILITARY SUPREMACY/DOMINATION throughout ASIA-PACIFIC, potent unilater ability to quickly react militarily in case of trouble in KOREAS + TAIWAN STRAITS, and espec MIL CONTAINMENT OF RUSSIA + CHINA.

Also from BNN + KCNA > NORTH KOREA WARNS ANY LAUNCH SANCTIONS WILL END NUCLEAR TALKS.
