Space Shuttle And N Korea

[Poolzer]

leave it to N Korea to hog the news as we launched our shuttle this afternoon successfully.

N Korea popped off 5 missles, mostly s.c.u.d.s. for testing and all of them failed. The 1 long range one failed just 35 seconds into launch.

When asked, A Defense Department official said the U.S. took no action because the missiles posed no threat to the United States or its interests.

Ha, that's about as close as you'll get to a laugh and a finger for Kim Jong Il :lol


It is a fairly serious event though:

They are determined to cause problems aren't they


As for the shuttle, it's good to see NASA back in action. I really hope there isn't any problems this time, and that this will signal a return to regular shuttle operation.

NK sucks, it will probably be left up to the US to do something about it as usual, then they will get criticised for it as usual

They should actually do something.

North-Korea really sucks.

But why is it always left up to the US and its allies to do something about these kinds of things. Other countries should stand up and do something about it

[metallifreak27]

coz every other country is being run by a bunch of softcocks

You seem under the impression that the US would do something against someone who could actually mount a fightback. First mistake. Besides, China is doing more diplomacy in this issue than the US will ever do. You mistake macho bullshit for action. Second mistake.

This will drag on like most of the West's strong enemies tend to until they've spent themselves to the poorhouse. Tough talk will only make them feel worthy and that's what the US will give them. Look at the hysteria over a handful of missiles being _tested_ our governments are getting their knickers in a twist over.

Happy 4th of July to the US, btw. 230 years since an insurgency drove out a vastly superior foriegn occupier. Congrats!

the US won't do anything about korea, mainly because they don't have the vast oil supplies to pillage like Iraq did.

George Fucking Bush and his war for the worlds oil. war on terror my arse!
