Russia source says North Korea readying launches: report
« on: June 10, 2009, 11:17:36 AM »

South Korean soldiers stand guard on the south side of the truce village of Panmunjom in the demilitarised zone separating the two Koreas, in Paju, north of Seoul, June 9, 2009

"MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian Foreign Ministry source on Tuesday said there were signs that North Korea was preparing new missile launches, Interfax news agency reported.

After a nuclear test in May, Pyongyang conducted missile launches. South Korea said the North was preparing to test a long-range missile capable of reaching U.S. territory and mid-range missiles that could strike South Korea or Japan.

"Information is coming to us that there are signs of preparations for the launch of missiles," the unnamed Russian source was quoted as saying.

The diplomat said North Korea's temporary ban on navigation in certain areas of the Yellow and Japan Seas was an indication it was preparing to conduct a missile test, Interfax reported." Link

Man, it seems like the angry little gargoyle is trying to help 0Bama by redirecting attention away from his screwing of the economy and the American people.

Headline sure got my attention, since it doesn't give away that it is just talking about test shots. 
Go and tell the Spartans, O traveler passing by
That here, obedient to their law, we lie.

Anything worth shooting once is worth shooting at least twice.

"....and the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air gave proof through the night that Obama didn't care."
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
