North Korea Test Fires More Short Range Missiles

» by GI Korea in: North Korea

Does anyone care that North Korea is firing off short range anti-ship missiles?  No, I didn’t think so, but CNN does considering it is the lead story on the frontpage of their website:

North Korea fired two short-range missiles from its east coast Tuesday — a day after conducting a nuclear test — South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported, citing a South Korean official.

“The North is continuing its saber-rattling,” the unnamed official said.

The firings came a day after the reclusive communist state conducted a nuclear test and fired another short-range missile.

“We should be clear that these are short-range missiles. They are in the realm of anti-ship or anti-aircraft missiles, not missiles designed to target cities or other country population centers,” said analyst Daniel Pinkston of the International Crisis Group, which describes itself as an independent non-profit group committed to preventing and resolving deadly conflict.  [CNN]

    Somehow all the talk of how Kim is a crackpot eccentric, while Obama is portrayed as all-knowing and wise doesn’t quite square with reality when the “crackpot” is running circles around our flawless messiah.
    -
    This is the same Obama that was apparently busy with his puppy-vetting process or playing basketball while the Russians where nabbing our Afghan supply air-base in Kyrgizstan.
    -
    Obama is endangering our national security, a failure of his most primary duty as president… maybe we should draw a line here?
    -
    Obamania’s sheeple are deeply delusional, and as the misguided Obama’s enablers, these fools are going to get us killed.
