We have the same thoughts on this subject. It was NK's attempt to be "in our face." Similar to American Liberals/Leftists, ACLU, RINOs, some Supreme Court Justices, and the MSM. They, too, want to be in our face. IMO, they're all testing the waters to see how far they can push the American people.

Any truth to the rumor that Dear Leader's Hair Dryer exploded?

Didn't some judge get medieval on our heinies about scaring whales with our sonar equipment? Maybe we should have him/her have a word with Mr. Ronery about frightening the fish.

They pulled a gun on us, and now they're scared to use it, but too humiliated to put it down.

Ok, so we now know this was a seperate short range missile :

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- North Korea tested a short-range missile early Wednesday but has not fired the long-range Taepodong-2 rocket Western observers suspect has been readied for launch, U.S. sources told CNN.

Seems to me they've just given us the perfect reason to blast that ICBM while it sits on the launch pad.

So they tell him the long range one was fired and it landed short. And he has the head of the long range missle program shot.

It's so simple, it's scary.

N. Korea Launches Missile Into Sea of Japan
Jul 04 4:12 PM US/Eastern

TOKYO

North Korea test launched a missile early Wednesday morning that landed in the Sea of Japan, Japanese media reported.

North Korea launched the missile at 0332 Japan Time and it crashed into the Sea of Japan several minutes later, public broadcaster NHK reported.

NHK said Japanese government officials were trying to determine whether the missile was a long-range ballistic missile that had been readied for launch recently, or whether it was a different missile.

North Korea had been believed to be preparing a test launch of its Taepodong 2 missile, which is believed able to reach parts of the United States.

Officials were not immediately available to confirm the report.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe the test failed? I think we'll find out that it was a whole lot 'o nothing.
Lil' Kim will have to do more to get our attention.

Maybe now the Japanese will wake up from their 50 year slumber and get with the program.

Head fake?

I think you may be correct, in the sense that they may have been trying to guage our reaction, to see if how quickly and effectively any anti-missile systems we have in place can react, and (as others have pointed out) to thumb KJI's nose at us.
