North Korea May Be Prepping For Missile Test
Source: AFP

WASHINGTON (AFP) — The United States has detected signs in recent weeks that North Korea may be preparing to test a long-range Taepodong-2 missile, a US official said Tuesday.

"There are some signs that the North Koreans are preparing for a Taepodong-2 launch," the US counter-proliferation official said. "But whether it will carry out the launch or not is entirely unclear, as is the timing for a possible launch."

The official, who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity, said the North Koreans "appear to be assembling the kinds of equipment you would expect to see in advance of such a launch."

1. Take a fucking number, Kim.
We realize that you want President Obama's attention, but since we don't think that you're ACTUALLY crazy enough to launch on somebody or invade South Korea, there's a few things that are ahead of you in priority.

2. Bush let them develop long range missiles and nukes.
Saddam had scraps of non-functional missiles based on a 70 year old design and not a sniff of a possibility of nukes.

Heckofajob, Bushie.
