North Korea
Jun 20^th, 2006 at 11:05am

I'm sure we had a North Korea topic around here somewhere, but I couldn't find it and I was too lazy to search for it. Anyway, here is something I came across on another forum...

Quote:

In response to North Korea's ongoing missile rattling and posturing, the US STRATCOM announced today that the BMD system has been "activated" in preparation for a potential Teipo-Dong-2 missile launch.

Two Aegis Cruisers have moved into positions in launch boxes awaiting further developments and the BMD systems at Fort Greely Alaska are alerted. Sources in Washington are saying that either ship-based or the ground based interceptros could be used to intercept the North Korean missile, should it be launched.

More to follow soon...that is all.

Missile System Alert

I don't think the government is messing around on this one. I fully expect to see military repercussions if North Korea makes an unannounced launch. Perhaps a direct hit on the launch site is feasible? Kim is begging for a pimp slap.

I say we blow it up with the lasers...

Taro Aso, the Japanese foreign minister, said there was a "very high possibility" that it would impose economic sanctions on North Korea.

The Japanese embassy in Beijing said the launch was "a grave problem" for Japan's security.

In Washington, the White House press secretary said the US "strongly condemned" the missile launches and North Korea's "unwillingness to heed calls for restraint from the international community".

"We are consulting with international partners on next steps," Tony Snow said.

Everything in politics needs to be specifically quoted as to not cause an international incident. At least thats my reasoning. Whenever there is a crisis or a matter of seriousness, the news agencies make sure the specific language used by whatever politition is quoted exactly as to avoid confusion in paraphrasing. Which makes me wonder.... what happens when the translater messes up?

ha!

Security Council imposed sanctions over its test-launch of several missiles, while China and Russia urged diplomacy to halt the isolated regime's nuclear and rocket development programs.
