The Nork Missile, And What It Indicates About Obama
2009-04-06 17:22:00 The business in North Korea was remarkable, over the weekend, in that the missle test was an abject failure, (Unless they reall planned on delivering the missle to the sea of Japan) and yet was a resounding success for Kim Jong Ill. Nork is claiming that they’ve launched a comms satellite… one that apparently uses a newly developed and perfected stealth technology, because nobody else on the planet can seem to locate the thing, despite NORK’s reports that it’s playing ‘patriotic songs’ We can understand where the inspiration for that comes from; Comminist China, whose Dong Fang Hong 1 bird  played ‘The East is Red” for 26 days in 1970, before apparently running out of battery power, 28 days later… some 8 days longer a life than projected. However, unlike the North Korean bird, it’s still up there, and people could actually find it.  Meanwhile the Wall Street Journal, just about the only paper left in New York St...

The one issues a statement: North Korea’s development and proliferation of ballistic missile technology pose a threat to the northeast Asian region and to international peace and security. The launch today of a Taepo-dong 2 missile was a clear violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1718, which expressly prohibits North Korea from conducting ballistic missile-related activities of any kind. With this provocative act, North Korea has ignored its international obligations, rejected unequivocal calls for restraint, and further isolated itself from the community of nations. We wil...
