Korean Launch Could Spur Arms Sales
By EVAN RAMSTAD
SEOUL -- The long-range missile North Korea is expected to test as soon as Saturday could reach as far as the U.S. and parts of Western Europe. But U.S. military officials and other analysts say the development is most dangerous not because North Korea is likely to use such missiles, but because it will probably sell them to other countries, such as Iran.
A successful launch of a long-range missile, after two failures, would validate three decades of investment and work by North Korea. It could also boost one of the country's few major sources of income -- selling weapons to other countries.
On Monday, the U.S. deployed two missile-interceptor ships from South Korea to monitor the North's launch. U.S. officials have ruled out shooting down the North's projectile.

Business imperative severely impeded national security concern from Clinton days to Bush's and now to Zero's. Corrupt ruling class scums ready to sell out their country for quick bucks. What U.S. got is more T-bill sales, and phenomenal asset bubble. For a while, inflated asset value had been mistaken for permanent wealth gain. Now all are gone in a loud pop of the bubble.
So collectively, U.S. got little in return, while China gained more leverage on U.S.. For now.
Still, in the end, U.S. and China would go down together. They needed each other to sustain the status quo. Now the arrangement is breaking up because feedback loop between two countries is no longer working.
This unholy union of the two countries, named "Chimerica," perverted so many things in economy and politics. It should be terminated for good.
Ping!
Bump
Formal charges of treason should be brought up against US negotiators, and former officials of both the Clinton and Bush Administrations, if one single Japanese or American life is lost due to a missile launch (or failure w/debris) or worse yet, an intential short, intermediate or lonag range nuke/chem/bio attack utilizing their missile delivery technology...for this idiocy called the “SIX PARTY TALKS” taking place in some swank hotel in Red China over the last few years orchestrated by the Chicoms to stall for time to let little brother arm up, preceded by Clinton’s own appeasement with Carter and Madeline Albright. Did not these fools realize their actions would lead to this??!!
I of course add if any loss of life or property occurs on R.O.K. soil as well!!
Sarah Palin will be telling Chump-Il, "Well, we're not just going to let you walk out of here."
I’d die a happy man if these criminals were jailed ....yesterday !
