North Korea put its rocket units on standby on Friday to attack US military bases in South Korea and the Pacific, after the United States flew two nuclear-capable stealth bombers over the Korean peninsula in a rare show of force.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un signed off on the order at a midnight meeting of top generals and "judged the time has come to settle accounts with the US imperialists in view of the prevailing situation", the official KCNA news agency said.
On Thursday, the United States flew two radar-evading B-2 Spirit bombers on practice runs over South Korea, responding to a series of North Korean threats. They flew from the United States and back in what appeared to be the first exercise of its kind, designed to show America's ability to conduct long-range, precision strikes "quickly and at will", the US military said.
The news of Kim's response was unusually swift.
"He finally signed the plan on technical preparations of strategic rockets of the KPA, ordering them to be standby for fire so that they may strike any time the US mainland, its military bases in the operational theatres in the Pacific, including Hawaii and Guam, and those in South Korea," KCNA said.
The North has an arsenal of Soviet-era Scud missiles that can hit South Korea but its longer-range missiles are untested. Independent assessments of its missile capability suggest it may have theoretical capacity to hit US bases in Japan and Guam.

The South and the United States have said the drills are purely defensive in nature

He’ll go golfing. Just another day in the life of the Coward N Chief.
Take a swing, fat boy .. the South could prolly use the parking !
Based on what I know about N Korea, they’d be better off attacking a few farms and stealing the grain. That is one very hungry country.
????? This guy reminds me of Baghdad Bob!
I like that CIC (Coward N Chief) is the middle initial should be I or N.
Daily Presidential Briefing that Obama never got the memo?
Media is hounding Obama to get his comment on this right now?
In light of the upcoming CWII, This Lil’ Kim guy could be doing us a huge favor.
He'll probably blame it on "an offensive anti-Korean You Tube video."
Sounds like a challenge, who can make the most offensive one?
*yawn*... where’s my fly swatter?
I’m curious who would have made the decision to send the two B2s to SK and back.
Would that decision have been made a the WH, or somewhere lower in the COC?
If they destroy the US - who will feed the regime?
They could blame it on “Team America”.
