NKorea missles launch
-
North Korea has been one of the world's most secretive societies. It is one of the few countries still under communist rule.
North Korea has apparently finished loading fuel into a long-range ballistic missile, The test would probably take place over water, not land, and occur during daylight hours, the official said. North Korea is 14 hours ahead of the East Coast.
The United States would probably know "within seconds" that a launch had taken place, the official said.
"It's big, it shakes, and we have a lot of ways to watch and listen," the official said.
2.Due to geographical position.the missiles must shoot overhead Japan
in order heading US.Thats is why FM of Japan,if will be serious consquences
if the missiles falls in Japan.What he means is it is OK if the missiles fly
overheard Japan!!
3.I think the missiles will heading to latin or south America.
The distance is long enough to show it can reach at least LA.
or another major city in central part of US.
But it will not falls on US soil,for the time being.
4.Read today 20.06.2006 STimes,the fuel will damage
the missiles if fuel stay long in the fuel tank.
It will be complicated to extracted the fuel fr fuel tank.
19.06.2006 marks the annversiary of Kim in power.
I bet the missiles will be launched in 36 hours.
5. Report: U.S. activates missile defense system
South Korea: North's missile on launching padSEOUL, South Korea (Reuters) -- The United States has moved its ground-based interceptor missile defense system from test mode to operational amid concerns over an expected North Korean missile launch, a U.S. defense official said Tuesday.
South Korean Foreign Minister Ban Ki-moon said on Tuesday that North Korea had put its long-range Taepodong-2 missile on a launching pad, but it was unclear if the missile was fully fueled.
Meanwhile, Pyongyang said it would not be bound by a 2002 treaty prohibiting launches of ballistic missiles.
The U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed a Washington Times report that the Pentagon has activated its missile defense system, which has been in the developmental stage for years.
"It's good to be ready," the official said.
U.S. officials say evidence such as satellite pictures suggests Pyongyang may have finished fueling the Taepodong-2 missile, which some experts said could reach as far as Alaska. -

PACIFIC OCEAN (June 18, 2006) -- USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) and USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) carrier strike groups steam in formation during a joint photo exercise (PHOTOEX) in preparation for Valiant Shield 2006. The PHOTOEX featured 14 ships as well as 17 aircraft from Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corp including a B2 bomber. The Kitty Hawk Carrier Strike Group is currently participating in Valiant Shield 2006, the largest joint exercise in recent history. Held in the Guam operating area (June 19-23), the exercise involves 28 Naval vessels including three carrier strike groups, more than 300 aircraft and more than 20,000 service members from the Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.

As long as the liquid propellant is not pumped into the missile, the North Koreans will probably milk all the attention they can get.
Note once the propellant is in, launch within 24 hours is guideline or the propellant will start defrosting.
Purge away and pump again? It all depends on the hardware.
That is why most ballistic missiles are solid fuelled. The launch latency is much smaller. -
I think there is a high chance that the Japanese and the Americans will shoot down the missile before it fly over Japan. I am sure the Japanese will not allow such a humiliating act to occur again. Not to mentioned that this makes the Japanese look helpless. I have read in the newspapers that the Japanese are speeding up the deployment of anti-ballistic missile system ahead of schedule.

I saw the satelite pic of the alledged launch site... doesn't seemed like a missle launching pad at all... the scale seemed wrong... I just don't see a sizable rocket booster or anything like a missle... (I might be wrong)
Anyway, south Korea has said that there were no confirmed report and evidence... of any eminent launched.
The NK's called for a raise flag was annual affair.. in seems.. and also interestingly the date also coincide with the US arrange nuclear bunker drill for key admin GOV staff... in USA.
Also the anouncement of a missle defense deal in Japan was only last week...
You know how we should truly believe the power of media... right ? We are all sheeps .. being lead by powerful Media for wehat ever reasons.. -

The US is threathning North Korea for for a ICBM test, but he look what they did last month ...
HONOLULU - For the first time, a Navy ship at sea successfully shot down a long-range missile in its final seconds of flight, the military said Wednesday.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12964246/
The test was seen as an important step toward giving ships the ability to shoot down weapons as they are about to hit their targets. Until now, the Standard Missile 2 was only launched from ships to intercept a long-range missile in the early or middle stage of flight.
For the test, a missile fired from the Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai was destroyed in its final stage by an SM-2 launched from USS Lake Erie.

So it's alright for the US to test an ICBM Drone ... but not others...??? -

at least the US dont shoot over some other country's people.... ask NK to test their missile within their national border lah... i am sure no body gives a damn if that missile should accidentally drop on kim's head. -
North needs more stuff for its people, more rice and products e.g so use this missle launch as a bargining chip to get more Goodies.
