SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea defiantly carried out a provocative rocket launch Sunday that the U.S., Japan and other nations suspect was a cover for a test of its long-range missile technology.
Liftoff took place at 11:30 a.m. (0230GMT) Sunday from the coastal Musudan-ri launch pad in northeastern North Korea, the South Korean and U.S. governments said. The multistage rocket hurtled toward the Pacific, reaching Japanese airspace within seven minutes, but no debris appeared to hit its territory, officials in Tokyo said.
The U.N. Security Council approved an emergency session for Sunday afternoon in New York, following a request from Japan that came minutes after the launch.
The South Koreans called it "reckless," the Americans "provocative," and Japan said it strongly protested the launch.

NK had claimed that it was going to be a satellite launch, but that is obviously not the case, since it landed in the ocean. Seems like the critics were correct in saying that that it was a test of a long range missile . Someone should have had the balls to shoot it down once it became obvious that it was not a satellite launch. As it stands, NK now has gathered the testing data that they wanted.

Though it apparently got off the launch pad, South Korean and US estimates this morning are that the launch was a fail.

Well, they are getting closer, the last one, what was it, three or four yrs ago, that blew up about a minute in? So, this is still not good news. I don't want the Norks having any utensils stronger than a plastic spork, myself.

Big deal............The UN security council is on it it now, no need to fear. They will send a strong, yet not too strong reply to North Korea, not condemning, but sternly saying we're aren't happy.

Lemme guess...next thing the UN is going to so is send, "Hannns Brix."

Keep buying that high quality crap from Russia.
North Korea is feeling neglected and is just looking for some attention.

Obama probably has a gift basket of DVD's on the way. Hell, since it's a Communist country, he probably included an IPod.

He'll probably throw some Che t-shirts in and some Cuban cigars.
