NKorea provokes UN as it test-fires sixth missile
2009-05-30
[Al Arabiya Latest] North Korea test-fired another short-range missile off its east coast on Friday and said it would take more "self-defense measures" if the United Nations Security Council punished it for this week's nuclear test.

South Korea said an increasingly aggressive North may be preparing fresh moves after Chinese fishing boats were spotted leaving a disputed sea border on the west coast.

South Korea and the United States put their troops on the Korean peninsula on higher alert on Thursday, and Seoul's defense ministry said forces were keeping a close watch on the land and sea border with the North.

#8  Right. Seoul is the second largest metropolitan area in the world. The best strategy would be to pre-emptively render the Norks completely incapacitated, in my opinion.

#7  What I'm afraid of is that they are gonna announce a "test" and it will be the real deal headed for Seoul.

#6  Please, some entity blow them sky high. And I'm not saying the US has to be the ones to bomb them, either. Almost six decades of dipshi*lomacy hasn't worked.

#3  I wouldn't want to see one of ours hit Pyongyang unless it's the last resort.

However, if Kimmie's next Taepodong were to blow up on the pad right at launch (hint hint CIA), I wouldn't shed a tear. Let the Nork scientists look at their Iranian colleagues and say, "well, back to the old drawing board."
