Might as well put more stock in what North Korea is saying than our own government.
And if it had been a success? What country would have been hit and how much time would any country in its sites have to respond or protect itself? It should have been brought down the instant it left NKorea air space. But......it takes a President with guts to do that. I guess the tens of thousands of dollars spent to send out Navy ships to sea, was worth it?
Yup, another dismal failure for his regime and Iran.
luckily none of the rocket parts hit land ..
I know that this is deep water ... for everyone else in the world.
Meanwhile, half their population is starving to death. Pure evil.
“Our” government has to say something so that they do not appear as weak and spineless as they (in reality) happen to be.
President Obama's Failure to Deal with North Korea is the ONLY Failure of Rocket Launch."
If at first you don’t succeed... You take your rockets and go home?
I don’t think so... They did pretty darn good for a first shot. Next year they’ll show us they can reach D.C.
This launch was nothing more than a sales presentation for terrorist states that are in the market to reach out beyond their borders. In that case it was a success.
In other words, it was a very successful ballistic missile test.
But as has been proposed before, was there a satellite, or was the launching of a satellite a ruse, and the true objective was to test their missile?
If the latter, then it’s more than likely the launch was successful for their purpose.
Perhaps we should watch the reaction in Iran for a clue.
Song of General Kim Il Sung
1.
On Jangbaek mountains, there are bloodstains.
By Aprok river, there are bloodstains.
Those holy stains throw light over
the bouquet of free Korea today.
2.
The snowstorm on Manju plain, tell a story!
The long night in the deep forest, tell a story!
Who is the immortal partisan?
Who is the peerless patriot?
3.
He is the benefactor who released the labourers.
He is the great Sun for new democratic Korea.
All people gather to the 20 clause political program.
New spring comes everywhere in North Korea.
Refrain
Oh- what a sweet name, General Kim Il-sung!
Oh- what a glorious name, General Kim Il-sung!
Only if it really was an attempt to launch a satellite.
I doubt it was.
“...government officials said late today that Pyongyang’s satellite was a failure.”
This time it was a failure. Many of our own early missle launches were failures. But we learned from those early mistakes and improved our technology. Can we expect any less from the NK’s?
This is Crazy we stand here and do nothing when the intent is to hit our cities with a nuclear tipped Missile just Jaw ratcheting nothing more from Our Coward Leaders.
Maybe it ran into a stray lazer beam.
Had it been an actual satellite launch, it would have been a failure. But what it REALLY was, was an ICBM test — and THAT succeeded. I take only small comfort in the fact that California is within range of NK nukes... Then again, I am saddened for Alaska...
