| [Kyodo: Korea] Japan's Air Self-Defense Force is ready to deploy its Patriot ballistic missile interceptors at short notice if it is given an order to do so in connection with a rumored missile test by North Korea, the top air defense force general said Friday. ''I believe we are now at the stage of collecting and analyzing intelligence, but we are making preparations to swiftly deploy (the interceptors) if the defense minister gives us a deployment order,'' ASDF Chief of Staff Gen. Kenichiro Hokazono told a news conference. |

| #2 How about we make an offer to NK? They shoot a missle towards us. It lands. We dclare it an act of war and pound NK into oblivion. But if we manage to intercept the missle then no harm no foul. We congratulate each other on a test well done. OK, NK, your move. |
