Looks like I spoke too soon. It wasn't confirmed that it was the big one earlier. This is not good.

They tested a missile with no payload that blew up 40 seconds into flight, which means it probably never left North Korean Airspace. It also means at this point their big ole US striking missile couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from the inside. If by some strange thought process they actually put a nuke on this missile design it may very well fall right on their collective heads.

I love how there are 5 countries all against North Korea in regards to the missile launch (the U.S., China, Japan, Russia, and South Korea), but after NK actually goes through with the test, neither China or Russia are anywhere to be found. Japan and South Korea had no problem coming forth and condemning the launches. Where are the other two? And other countries wonder why the U.S. decides to take matters into their own hands. Maybe if other countries would actually back up their talk instead of disappearing when the world really needs them, the U.S. wouldn't have to be the "bad guy" all the time. China could put the fear of God, or whoever the majority of NK's pray to, in them if they wanted to.

This sucks. I think it was the "taepodong-1" that this asshole launched in 1998 exploded and the shrapnel and stuff landed on ALASKA! That was 8 YEARS AGO!!! Fast forwrd to today...The "dong-2" exploded just off the launch pad today (along with 5 other legoland missles that only NORAD knows where they went). As time passes North Korea's technoloy is developing. That crazy asshole Jong-Il with in the next 4-5 years WILL be able to figure out how to fit his rockets with warheads (nuclear?) and get them to actually fly within range of not-so-accurately striking this country. The UN is holding an emergency session today, I hope something positive comes of it.  North Korea is a fucked up place. Jong-Il hates us, as do so many other people across the globe.  Something diplomatic needs to happen NOW between us and N. Korea. I hope the UN is up for it, because Im not sure that the US govt even cares. I wish I were more confident in our government and their policies. Its a bad feeling because I love this country and all the freedome we have. We need to begin laying some solid political frame work to deal with the future musings of this crazy motherfucker, as well as trying to repair our image in the rest of the world. In N Korea, your home comes with a one-channel government-controlled radio built into the wall. It cant be turned off, it can only be turned "down".  What a miserable place. And thats just the radio part..... Wondering if Jong-Il creates a comedy pyramid every once and awhile for fun on his radio show? Maybe theres a "B.Jong.M." card offered on his shows? Talk about syndication!Nixon would have had this shit wrapped up yesterday with his keen worldwide diplomatic skillz.....

What AJ said.  Whenever this guy needs some more grain to feed his soldiers he just rattles the sabers a bit and we comply.  He doesn't have any intention of carrying through with his threats.

Sure its a scumbag move, but before anyone passes judgement the US does the same thing. Notice how our new buddy is India after years of us siding with Pakistan. Its all about strategic location. It helps China that we have to be bogged down with this. Japan is also N. Koreas radar. If something ever happens to Japan you know who is responsible for defending them. Thats right the good ole US of A. China is set to be the US's number one rival in the world and will eventually be our enemy.

So glad they are sticking with the others in forcing NK to back off.  China and Russia resisted an attempt by the U.S., Japan, and Britain to impose sanctions against North Korea for its missile launches Wednesday, saying only diplomacy could halt the isolated regime's nuclear and rocket development programs.  You know, this is just like when right before we went into Iraq. Most of the countires were all behind forcing Iraq to comply, but the second we suggested finally moving forward all the other countries turned into France and became pussies and began backpeddling. And people wonder why we are the world's police. No one else on this god forsaken planet has the balls to do anything. Newsflash, diplomacy does not work with psychotic leaders!

Except diplomacy hasn't gotten us anywhere with them.  We've been diplomatic with them for what?  Ten years or so?  And all we have to show for it is them breaking their word to us (shocking) and building nuclear weapons, and building / obtaining missile systems like this one.I agree that this was likely more saber rattling, but we should call their bluff this time.  Call it for ONCE at least.  Impose sanctions on them.  Otherwise, a few months from now, we'll be dealing with the same shit.  They'll be up to some new shit, and Russia & China will again go, "Oh, I don't really think this warrants sanctions......"

Pyongyang has for months refused to attend formal negotiations, protesting U.S. financial restrictions imposed over the North's alleged counterfeiting, money-laundering and other illegal practices."As many of you know, the Chinese have talked about putting together a six-party informal, and we both support that and we think that all countries are prepared to come to that informal meeting," Hill told reporters after meeting with Chun Young-woo,        South Korea's top nuclear negotiator.Asked about the possibility of a bilateral meeting with the North, he said: "Within the informal six-party talks, yes, I can.""I just can't do it when they are boycotting the six-party talks." China, a traditional ally of North Korea, has been reluctant to impose sanctions on Pyongyang. But Japan's Yomiuri newspaper reported Saturday that Beijing appeared to have clamped down on the flow of industrial materials to North Korea in a sign of disenchantment with the missile tests.In a report from the Chinese city of Dandong on the North Korean border, the newspaper said the normally steady cross-border stream of supply trucks from China had all but stopped as of Friday. The paper quoted a trader on the Chinese side as saying traffic had plummeted after the missile tests.South Korea's Yonhap news agency, however, cited business people in China as saying that any slowdown in trade in the past couple of days was likely due to seasonal factors, not political ones.

Don't you know Rush Limbaugh felt sympathetic when he read that the NoKo missile went up for only 45 seconds before it petered out.
