I'm not going to comment on Kim Jong-il's intelligence, but he's definitely batshit insane.

Seriously. LOL at Razor's "NK = rational" rationale.

Well who here is shocked? Anybody? Kimbo is batshit insane to the level that even China is going "fuck off dude, you're ruining our plans" and backing off their support. What NK seems to forget is that withour Red China, they would have lost the Korean War, we had, what, 80% of their land at one point?

Cue the democratic response of

1) Stopping oil shipments
2) Upping our Naval presence 3) japanese posteuring
4) Six party talk
And my favorite
5) Harsh Obama rhetoric


Meh, this is no different from their Nuclear "hey look at me" tactics. What a backwards dipshit country.

Update: the rocket didn't even reach orbit, gee that's weird.

Wonder how we shot it down. And how long it will take for us to slip that to the press?

It get's old saying it but "north korea fails again" never loses its panache.

Moving along....

We shot it down? Do tell, Rear Admiral Biff.

You do know we have shot down rockets AND falling satellites going in excess of 80,OOO MPH right? I mean justify my faith that we do care enough about our defensive capabilities to know we have this capability in our bag..RIGHT RIGHT?


I guess I'll go way and I mean way out there and assume you read that we sent 3 ships with this exact capability to Korean last weekend.

You people should read more and try to be smartasses less.

Link? Source?

I'll even take an unnamed inside source here, Biffster. Mayhap a GE engineer who moonlights for the USN as a reserve CIC officer, or a USAF flight officer who manages UAV capabilities. Anything other than the view from Ohio.

Well I just put this

http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapc...orea.us.ships/

Together with:

"Did not reach orbit"

And coupled that with the fact we said "If that rockets veers of the course even 1 degree, we'll shoot it down" and drew my own logical conclusion.


If GE is making weapons, they don't let little old me in on the fun farm down there in Jupiter

You do realize it could have just failed as well right? It's entirely possible given that North Korea is run by the largest bunch of bungling meatheads this side of...

That is exactly who I think of when most of you post in the political threads.
