N. Korea puts long-range missile on the market
North Korea has begun offering its Taepo Dong-2 long-range missile for sale to several nations in the Middle East.
| They did Sammy so much good, they must have turbans lined up for blocks to buy them... |
Western intelligence sources said the most likely client to purchase the Taepong-2 is Iran. The sources said Teheran has been negotiating with Pyongyang for the purchase of the Taepo Dong-2 for Iranâs first intercontinental ballistic missile as well as a space launcher.
| Ummm... Which intercontinent y'think they might be aiming at? Somehow I can't really see turbans in space... |
The Taepo Dong-2 is estimated to have a range of more than 4,000 kilometers. U.S. officials said the missileâs range could be extended to 6,500 kilometers, which would enable any Taepo Dong-2 fired by North Korea to land in the United States.
SDIâs starting to look a little better now, isnât it?
