I read somewhere that NK has about 800 short and long range missles. I guess Kim Jong is just going to keep poppin’ these things off until Bambi gives him something he wants.

A 300 LB cylinder, known as the W-80, would make it look like that in a FLASH!!

Why doesn't it look like this: [a big crater]

I'm sure Kim would love to have NK attacked, this will vindicate his policies and finally give him a reason to start a war with South Korea and Japan.

As I understand, there is about zero intelligence on NK assets (besides what can be seen from space) so taking them out in one strike is impossible; and if Kim has just one short range missile left and one nuke, he'd have it launched somewhere (doesn't matter where, it would be bad anyway.)

The inset lacks a big black thing right at the launch pad, that the big photo has.

OK. You asked for it!

"PYONGYANG PATTY" from last night's (5/31/09) North Korean main TV news broadcast, STREAMING HERE . She blabs on and spits about Kim Jong il attending the opening of the Kalma Art Theatre, accompanied by two two Generals who have been shadowing him everywhere these days (the two goons primarily enforcing his will to go with Son Number 3, Kim Jong Un, (apparantly).

Don't worry a little later in the news broadcast, some much more enjoyable-to-look-at North Korean female TV announcerettes come on, yet they too spit the DPRK Party line like rabid dogs, launching angry North Korean spit in the process everywhere on the TV set.
