North Korea Fires 7 More Missiles

Per the news article this appears to have been a slap in the face for the United States on their Independence day, and this idiot in N.K. is just doing everything to start a war.

u.s. would fire some back but we can't afford to anymore.

And the U.N. does...................

NOTHING! Imagine that

Oh, I am sure that the UN will issue more sanctions and do nothing as usual. NK now has a missile capable of reaching all parts of SK and Japan. They are working on making their nuclear bombs small enough to use in warheads.

Since nothing but talk is going to be done I wish they would get our troops out of there. Just let NK know that if they invade again it won't be a long ground war. Pyongyang will immediately become a huge radioactive crater. I hate to think of that, but that insane idiot in NK is going to push until someone pushes back.

I agree... what is the point of pushing down more sanctions if you aren't going to enforce the ones already in place? I say, stop a ship or 2 and show him that we are serious about enforcement. Call his bluff for once! But nope... we'll just sit around until people die and then the US will look like a bigger bully for defending SK and Japan.

No sanction is going to work unless or until China gets on board. And most of the suspect shipping is flagged under China, so we can't be pissin' off our mortgage broker for the national debt.

Why not? Maybe they would foreclose and take Washington D.C. I am sure they would try to sell California to some other country or at least get rid of the mess we now have.

Maybe Obama needs to send a postcard with a picture of what happened last time someone messed with OUR Hawaii!

I like how the newer reports are claiming

3- Scud-ER capable of 620 miles
2- Scud-C capable of 310 miles
2- Rodong capable of 810 miles

It also claims that 5 of the 7 landed in close proximety, showing their accuracy has greatly improved. What's next? Anyday now I expect to see news reports that they are setting up a long range. What did they prove by their show of force? They easily have the capability to hit Japan and SK. And the long range??? Hawaii?? Alaska?? Who knows, as long as nothing is done they will keep practicing. Practice makes perfect! Lets hope the world doesn't sit around waiting for perfect before they act.

Actually they are supposed to be getting a long range missile ready that could reach Hawaii. That is why our military set up a missile compound to shoot any down that they fire that may reach one of the islands. So far they haven't put it on the launch pad, so I am wondering if after their first one blew up if they really do have another one ready.

I'm glad they left Hawaii alone - at least I can still go back to my place
there when I finish my visit in Texas. BTW - it sure is hot here!

Gee Flip...need someone to carry your bagage?

HI Cobra · #13 (**permalink**) 07-06-2009, 12:48 PM

Sorry Tru - just got a carry-on bag this trip. Don't want to give them the
chance of losing my luggage!

Flip,

Do you have missile insurance on your place in Hawaii? The first NK missiles that make it that far won't be really accurate so they could land anywhere.
