North Korea: 'outbreak of war hours away'
 North Korea's leader Pudgy has ordered missile units to prepare to strike US mainland as a British tour operator was warned that the "outbreak of war probably only hours away".The order came after US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Washington would not be cowed by Pyongyang's bellicose threats and stood ready to respond to "any eventuality". Pudgy directed his rocket units on standby at an overnight emergency meeting with top army commanders, hours after nuclear-capable US B-2 stealth bombers were deployed in ongoing US joint military drills with South Korea. In the event of any "reckless" US provocation, North Korean forces should "mercilessly strike the US mainland ... military bases in the Pacific, including Hawaii and Guam, and those in South Korea", he was quoted as saying by KCNA. While North Korea has no proven ability to conduct such strikes, Pudgy said: "The time has come to settle accounts with the US imperialists."
