(2006-07-05) — North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il today acknowledged that he had ordered yesterday’s missile strikes against the Sea of Japan in response to what he called “threatening and provocative movements” that the body of water had made against his nation’s coastline.
U.S. sources said that as many seven missiles, including one long-range, short-flight Taepodong 2, penetrated the surface of the sea in a terrifying display of North Korean ballistic technology prowess.
“This clearly demonstrates our status as a global superpower,” said Mr. Kim, “The Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea is quite capable of raining fire from the sky upon any body of water that approaches our shores, or even thinks about it.”
The North Korean leader said the attack should “put other seas on notice that our precision-guided munitions can strike you at any time.”
Meanwhile, China made a “goodwill gesture” aimed at gaining Mr. Kim’s trust and ending the nuclear crisis on the Korean peninsula by offering to provide replacements for the expended missiles.
“The people of North Korea can barely eat,” said an unnamed China spokesman, “So where would they get the money to buy new missiles? We consider this a humanitarian offer.”

North Korea launches missiles
North Korea fired probably four missiles today. As expected, the blog world is all over it: Expose the Left Stop The ACLU has lots of information I’m sure there’s a LOT more out there already. There’s already differing thoughts on

[...] That is the title of an article in the New York Daily News about Kim Jong-Il’s latest fireworks display. Scrappleface has a more humorous take. Any way you like it, these events underscore the fecklessness of the “international community.” Caught on tape: the last meeting between Kim Jong-Il and Hans Blix is below—if it doesn’t convince you that the inspections regime is flawed, nothing will. Moderate to severe obscenity toward the end of the video clip; be warned. [...]

I don’t think that getting the reputation as a 40 second man will really make you a devil with the ladies.

Consider that L’il Kim is busy raising hell by launching missile after missile, and now threatens to launch even more. As if the first series of launches weren’t enough of a failure. It’s tricky after all to get missiles to operate properly. The Nor…
