North Korea flight-tested a new long-range cruise missile Monday, not a short-range, 1950s-era weapon as first reported, U.S. intelligence officials said yesterday.

Intelligence data from the test contradicted statements by Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, who told reporters Tuesday that the test was a "fairly innocuous" firing of an old missile.

Not a short term Styx missile as originally reported...

It's time to let china kow that the Land of the Rising Sun is about to go nuclear.

"U.S. intelligence officials said additional tests by Pyongyang are expected in coming days and the launch facility is being closely watched." I think its time we tested some missles near North Korea!

Call me old-fashioned, but I do not want to see the Japanese go nuclear. I have done business with the Japanese over the past 20 years and like them, but I sure as Hell don't trust them. And I really, really don't trust them with nuclear weapons. No way!

Neither you, nor especially Chaina wants a nuclear Japan. But telling and doing can be 2 different things.
