Title: N Korea threatens civilian planes

North Korea has said it cannot ensure the safety of South Korean civilian flights passing near its airspace over the Sea of Japan (East Sea).
The comment comes ahead of a joint South Korean-US military exercise, which Pyongyang says is preparation for an invasion of the communist state.
Washington and Seoul say the annual drill is for purely defence purposes.
Tensions are high in the region amid speculation that the North is planning to test-fire a long-range missile.
In the latest of a series of bellicose statements, a North Korean committee warned that "security cannot be guaranteed for South Korean civil airplanes... in particular while the military exercises are under way".

Any bets that 0Bama will scale back the scheduled exercises in the Sea of Japan?

We need to light those little bastards up if there is so much as a targeting radar lock on anything.  Not like that'll actually happen, of course.

We need to do a whole lot of things that ain't necessarily going to happen, DAT.

One of them is to change the management at Hotel 1600 (Penn Ave.) poste haste.

Ah well, there I go wishing for change I could believe in again...
