Now would be a good time for the entire U.S. Pacific Fleet to conduct training exercises about 3.00009 miles off the N. Korean coast.

The simple fact that they are nut jobs will stop us from doing it.

If it wasn't for the fact that China would likely intervene to save face, I would like to think that N.K would have gotten the ass-whipping that they so richly serve decades ago.

I believe ***an should shoot it down if it flies over their country...
Wouldn't it be in***ans air space and they have the right to do this???
A multi million dollar test that couldn't be completed if it was to be shot down...I wouldn't want them to know if it was a success or failure to fly 3000 miles and give them the confidence that they could launch a nuke head at america if it turned out successful.. Rather let them in the dark about that idea..

I would not be surprised if Kim Jong is simply bluffing because he feels like Iran is getting all the attention right now. Then again, it also wouldn't surprise me if he test-fires the damned thing. As has already been said: This ol' boy is a nut!

The bottom line, though, is that it is becoming more and more inevitable that we're going to have to deal with North Korea in the near future. I don't really see what all the fuss is about with them possibly test-firing into international waters a missile with the capability of reaching the western U.S. If they are talking of test-firing such a weapon, that means they obviously HAVE such a weapon. Simply having such a weapon makes North Korea a huge risk to us. If you lined up the world's biggest headcases, Kim Jong II would have to be one of the first two or three in line.

I would say we should retaliate by dropping a million pit bulls on them but all that would do is solve N. Koreas food shortage!

Iran's newest

If they ever get a missile capable of reaching Los Angeles , San Francisco , and San Diego they could tank our entire economy with one salvo and render Kookifornia uninhabitable for centuries . I consider these nutjobs a much bigger concern , they don't care if they all die , the Koreans do .
