TOKYO - A defiant North Korea test-fired a long-range missile Wednesday that may be capable of reaching America, but it failed seconds after launch, U.S. officials said. The North also tested four of shorter range in an exercise the White House termed "a provocation" but not an immediate threat.

The audacious military tests by isolated communist nation came despite stern warnings from the United States and Japan — and carried out as the U.S. celebrated the Fourth of July and launched the space shuttle.

None of the missiles made it as far as Japan. The Japanese government said all landed in the Sea of Japan between Japan and the Korean Peninsula.

This North Korean leader is seriously a psychopath. He has no regard for the safety or well being for his own people. All he wants to do is make history and be remembered. He is a serious threat to us all.

That statement saying it's just a provocation not a threat is complete garbage. This is the biggest warning sign that they are intending to do something. I'm not sure how clear cut Bush expects it to be. I don't want 9/11 all over again or even worse.

Firing test missiles to see how far they can go is basically saying "Yeah we wanna see if we can hit you yet" without actually saying it.

This regime is a joke and if they don't get the **** out of Iraq trying to fight over oil which is hilarious because gas is 3 bux a gallon where I live then we're going to be vaporized.

This guy doesn't care, he wants to go down in history for something monumental, he's talking along the lines of Hitler and Mussolini. We better get in there and disarm a country who poses a threat with known weapons instead of a wild goose chase in Iraq.

Most importantly...They have an arsenal that includes 7 ATOMIC BOMBS yes folks SIETE BOMBS. Not to mention intelligence is reporting they are nearly finished with their first Nuclear Bomb. It's one thing for the US and Russia to have them because they are stable, but this guy has the mental stability of a heavily intoxicated Ron Artest.

I think we need to send about 30 B-52's accompanied by some Russian air fighters and several Japanese Kamakaze Pilots and completely turn that into a bombed out field of nothing. And while we're at it we can nail every single ally.

We have to act quickly, we can't wait to be attacked becaus e who knows the severity of the attack if they have atomic weaponry. I'm seriously sweating bullets :thumbdown It's too bad our captain is braindead at the wheel.
 
cant reach the east coast, only cali, and the test one they fired didnt do very well, its a pretty big concern, but we have anti-missle technology that would stop it before it got to close. and it cant reach the left coast so im not very concerned...cali, on the other hand should be. haha.
 
If I were pip I'd be in no hurry to move back to the west coast..
 
Our anti-missile defense systems don't work very well either so its a good thing that the N. Koreans failed.
 
^ Exactly, I hate when people assume that since we're American that we can't be attacked because we just can't..it's illegal and cannot happen.

Our technology isn't above everyone elses, and I bet they're developing better bombs...it was a test it wasn't like this was the only thing they had and they are closing up shop. They are trying to discover why it didn't go further and will try to come up with something else.
 
From what i gather on N. Korea they are still using WW2 tech so they really aren't a threat in the sense of launching a full scale attack on the United States main land.

The thing that is odd to me is that there was a ton of people crying for America to invade Iraq and now you have a known nuclear power launching missiles in the direction of America and trying to hit us but nobody is saying a word.

If some clown comes in here saying the reason that we don't handle N. Korea the way we did Iraq is because they have nukes then that proves my point that Iraq had nothing in which case im gonna throw out a pre-emptive STFU.
 
A "Nuclear North Korea" will go down as the Clinton Legacy. That and creating confusion about the word "is" and using cigars as sex toys.
 
F em, Nuke em.
 
I really have no patience for these people, I'd really just like to wipe out any and all opposing countries in one foul swoop..

Yah, I agree! Lets just drop bombs and kill everyone and everything in it. Lets kill all those innocent men, women and children cause they just happened to be born in that country.
 
Yeah it's pretty scary and if you consider going to war with them the terrain in NKorea is rough. It's all mountains and worse than Afghan. A ground battle would be bad news I think. It's messed up though that Iran is still in Bush's eyes a bigger threat. Bush was on Larry King last night which was comical/sad. King asked why we were paying more attention to Iran than NKorea and Bush said, "well they are two different situations". Yeah one is firing things after you told them not to on Independence Day. That's like a big F-U if you ask me.In the interview Bush said that Russia and China will back us up on NKorea but in all the news I have heard Putin and company didn't agree to anything.
Scary stuff.
