| NKor Fires Missle Into Sea of Japan |
| 2003-03-10 |
| North Korea test-fired a missile into the sea off its east coast on Monday, South Korea's Defense Ministry said. Reports that Venus rose from the sea on a clamshell at the point of impact were unconfirmed as of press time... There had been indications that North Korea was planning to fire a missile. The Pentagon had earlier cited a North Korean warning to ships to stay out of a sector of the Sea of Japan from Saturday to Tuesday. Maj. Kim Ki-Beom, a spokesman at the Defense Ministry, said the missile was believed to be an anti-ship missile similar to one that North Korea test-fired on Feb. 24. An Aegis-system cruiser in the Sea of Japan might be able to shoot down one of the NK Son-of-SCUD missles when launched. That test scared the Japanese. Bullwinkle: I shot an arrow into the air; it landed I know not where. And the Japanese have four Aegis-equiped ships, I believe. Now NKor's repeatedly testing anti-ship missles in the 'East Sea.' Hmmmmm. That launch came on the eve of the inauguration of South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun and amid escalating tensions over Pyongyang's refusal to abandon its nuclear weapons programs. Article continues, yadda yadda. |

| #3 The US should say "OOOH" and "AHHHHH" and say that we should talk, etc etc and see what NKor does. Just a friendly little mindf--k experiment and see what happens. |
