  • N. Korea test-fires 'anti-ship cruise missiles'

    They seem to be on schedule, for whatever.

    NBC: U.S. officials predict Pyongyang will launch more weapons this week

    SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea test-fired four short-range missiles Thursday, South Korea's Defense Ministry said, a move that aggravates already high tensions following Pyongyang's recent nuclear test and U.N. sanctions imposed as punishment.

    Two ground-to-ship missiles were fired from the eastern coastal city of Wonsan on Thursday afternoon, a ministry official said on condition of anonymity citing department policy.

    The North also fired a third missile later from the east coast, but the exact site and the type of a rocket was not immediately known, the official said. Another ministry official — also speaking on condition of anonymity citing department policy — said the North later fired a fourth missile, though she provided no details.

        Anti-ship cruise missles... like we've had for decades? That probably don't really work?

        Oooh. Scary.

          Such a waste of money. They could be feeding their citizens with that money.

          At this point I have to believe the leadership has gone completely insane and they are trying to provoke the U.S. to kill them. I think they want to be killed by the U.S. Instead of suicide by cop, it's suicide by the U.S. military.

          I only hope our boys (and girls) in the military show restraint.

                    actually I just looked it up to make sure I'm not speaking out of my ass (never would happen of course). Turns out the exocet never exploded.



                    So what's worse? The crappy french missile? or the fact that a British Destroyer sunk from a missile that never exploded?

                              it was on drudge yesterday, but they took it off. NK stuff was at the top, but now down to the right column. They are going to have to be more aggressive if they want to stay on the top of Drudge report headlines.
