We tremble not for him
His rage we can endure
For lo! his doom is sure.
One little word shall fell him ~Martin Luther

#3 "The officials said the Russian expertise has improved the missileâs guidance system."

They failed to mention that you can only plug in Grosny as a target. Superior Russian technology.

#5 Taepo-Dong 2 was a big no-show at the recent B-day parade for Kimmie, however. This sucker (the missile, that is) has been getting beaucoup attention from the neighbors, and was supposed to be the highlight of the big parade.

Either they sensed (in their uncanny feral way) that every satellite we own was poised to photograph their shiny new toy, or they were still buffing it out.

More poxes on them.

#6 So what, for $50M the Russians will provide us with the Lat and Long of the production facility.

You would think that a torpedo would leave a telltale hole through the hull, but that's a misconception. The underwater explosion breaks the keel and the ship sinks like it it was structurally unstable.

Bet Kim's little diesel subs don't stray far from home. A sub wouldn't even have a chance to radio.

#7 Lemme get this straight...

In addition to a lot of balls, the Norks now have a really big dong?...
