They Did It. North Korea Tested Missiles

Hey folks,

Well, it appears that according to Interfax news agency and General Yuri Baluevsky of Russia, North Korea launched a total of 10 missiles. The Russian General said,

"Our control systems can confirm that the rockets were launched." He said, "Ten rockets were launched. According to one set of data, they were rockets of different classes. According to another set of data, they were all intercontinental. I can only say what class they were after receiving the technical data."

Earlier this morning, Russia's foreign ministry condemned North Korea’s missile launches.

Simply put folks, The United States, Japan, Australia, South Korea and other countries have urged North Korea to abandon any missile firing. North Korea fueled the missiles. Planed the launch. Now did launch. Their reason? North Korea says it needs nuclear weapons and a delivery system to counter what it contends are U.S. intentions to invade or topple the government. Of course this is not true.

This prompted Secretary Rice to say,

"It would be a very serious matter and, indeed, a provocative act should North Korea decide to launch that missile," That it "would once again show North Korea is determined to deepen its isolation, determined not to take a path that is a path of compromise and a path of peace, but rather instead to once again saber-rattle."

They did it. Now of course at this point we do not know if any of them were their 116-foot-long missile that has a firing range of 9,300 miles that could reach as far as the U.S. West Coast or not, but if they launched 10 to cover the one, this will be a major problem.

As the day goes on, I hope we get more and accurate information on if this is the case. The world warned them. They may have done it anyway. Let’s see if the world rebukes them now.
