North Korea prepares new test of missile

South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun is so scared that even he is now kissing our ass even though he won the election in South Korea by bashing US and endorsing the "Sunshine Policy" with North Korea while blaming us for all of their commie neighbors unpredictable belligerent stance and bellicose rhetoric.

South Korea's president -- who won power recently campaigning on an anti-U.S. platform -- meanwhile, has called for a stronger alliance with the United States.

"The staunch Korea-U.S. combined defense arrangement is greatly contributing to our national security," Mr. Roh said in a speech at the Korean Military Academy. "The solid ... alliance should be maintained even more so."

And now here comes the F-117 fighter-bombers:

The Pentagon is dispatching six F-117 Stealth fighter bombers to South Korea for exercises to begin next week, said Defense Department spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Jeff Davis. It will be the first time since 1993, when the first crisis developed concerning North Korea's nuclear-weapons program, that the radar-evading aircraft are moved to South Korea.

This isn't astounding news there...back in '92 when I was flying home to the states, China was test firing their missiles over Taiwan. They actually made a 'red no-fly zone' for the commercial aircraft over Taiwan...my United Airlines flight 1 had to detour 200 miles east. Disturbing, but hardly surprising--North Korea is basically the same in that respect.

Wow. This is like such a 90s newsflash. We've been playing this game for years, snookums. We'll continue to play this game. Stick it back in your shorts. As long as China takes an interest in Dae Han Min Guk, we're all smiles and diplomacy.

He was going to go with one of those small, worthless "L" countries but went with Belgium instead because they're sort of French.

Braver than a coward such as yourself.
But really all I am doing is reporting interesting and breaking news, this is different from China because we are not at war with China (there is only a cease-fire holding back the fighting, not an armistice) and China is not erratic and unpredictably unstable like North Korea is. Also these are MUCH longer-range missiles than China's M-9's that they tested back then.

Now if one of you had the power to cut the bullshit and promote me directly to an officer in charge of a tank unit then I would go, or as a combat correspondent.

 

[Frimost]

The game has NEVER had higher stakes with North Korea possessing 2 to 5 nukes already and testing a missile capable of hitting US sovereign territory, actual states no less!
