North Korea launches rocket

[Ibanez]

Are we making a mountain out of a mole hill? Is there any danger to North Korea launching a rocket?

The rocket, which North Korea says put a weather satellite into orbit, has been labeled by the United States, South Korea and Japan as a test of technology that could one day deliver a nuclear warhead capable of hitting targets as far away as the continental United States.

"The satellite has entered the planned orbit," a North Korean television news reader clad in traditional Korean garb announced, after which the station played patriotic songs with the lyrics "Chosun (Korea) does what it says".

The rocket was launched just before 10 a.m. (0100 GMT), according to defense officials in South Korea and Japan, and was more successful than a rocket launched in April that flew for less than two minutes.

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said that it "deployed an object that appeared to achieve orbit", the first time an independent body has verified North Korean claims.

The rocket passed over Okinawa, where the US military has a strong presence.

Now that would be an act of war on our part.

Um (to coin a phrase), Mitt Romney lost. The community-organizer-in-chief has only himself to blame for this one. Obviously, our Most Brilliant President figures that if he ignores the NorKors and the Middle East, the problems will go away.

Could be, quite possibly, the dumbest fvcking thing you ever said here, IT.

And I suppose that you, as the author of hundreds of dumb fucking posts on this board, are the expert.

You know, IT, I am the author of thousands of dumb posts on this board. However, there are only about three of us on here who will admit to the same and have fun with it.

The rest of the crowd are uptight cows.

I am an uptight old bull, Cap'n. And I mock myself plenty, chiefly by responding to your brother!

Now, back to the NorKors. I say we send a team of Navy Seals into Pyongyang, do a little regime change, strip-search that silly newscaster in the pink kimono, and give the people some food.

Guys,
This US-as-lawless-cop shit is one of the reasons why countries like NoKo arm up. Same with Iran. WE are creating and, at least, exacerbating world tension. Think about it.

Fvcking largest arms seller in the world......

I don't hate the US, just stating that we're hypocritical. Can you really argue that?

There are atrocities around the world. Imagine how many more there would be if we weren't armed.

If who wasn't armed? The US military or the Connecticut shooter and Jeremy's from Columbine, CO?

Hopefully, you aren't in the US government. There's patriotism, then there's stupid "we is empire and all base belong to us" type attitudes.

Unconfirmed, but it looks like North Korea has conducted its third nuclear test:
