He gets it, the South Koreans understand what lame-brained hussein does not or willfully will-not. That is, at this stage (pardon the pun) of their missile development there is absolutely no difference between a so-called satellite test launch or a test launch of an IRBM/ICBM. No difference.
They (the North Koreans) are still working on their vehicle, the Taepodong-2. They learn just as much about vehicle and subsystems' performance and/or problems from a "satellite launch" as they would from a more provocative declared missile test.
They are working on the vehicle here, no matter what they claim the use of it is. I'm sure they have another group working on ruggedizing the nuclear science experiment into a deliverable nuclear weapon.
hussein is a neophyte (at best) at global politics. The NKs are playing him and his cohorts like a cheap fiddle, laughing all the time. Yet another foolishly idealistic liberal willing to suspend disbelief and engage in another treaty/agreement with NK. Which of course NK will ignore the moment it becomes inconvenient to their plans. Treaties with NK are not worth the paper they are written on. Literally. Of course hussein doesn't care what danger he places America in, economicly nor militarily, as long as he advances his Marxist/socialist/fascist agenda here.
Electromagnetic Pulse.
Lights Out, kids. Forever.
