    US 'prepared' for N Korea missile

    Full Story Here

    North Korea has stepped up its missile programme in recent weeks
    The US is "in a good position" to protect its territory from a potential North Korean missile strike, US Defence Secretary Robert Gates has said.

    His comments came in response to a report that North Korea was considering launching a missile towards Hawaii.

    Pearl Harbour all over again anyone ?
    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

    I wouldn't be surprised if that recent blast equivalent to so many thousand of tonnes of TNT was only so many thousand of tonnes of TNT.

        But the real reason the Septics are upset is that N Korea have qualified for the World Cup

        Unlike the Septics who are rubbish at footie and only play girl's games that no-one else is interested in.

          yes but they are world champions in it - like they are in that rounders they play in their PJ's
          Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

          I preferred version 1!

            Russia also said that any missile fired over its territory from North Korea would be shot down.

            Do they actually have the technology to do that? I think they are just talking themselves up.

                Thought so, we spend far more on military spending that Russia and don't have anything like that.

                  They are only world champions because they wont let anybody else play in their world championship tournaments. I believe there are quite a few other nations that could put together a better rounders team than the yanks.
                  I am not qualified to give the above advice!

                  Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time
