I saw an article in time (OMG then it MUST be true) a few months back about NK having the capability to reach the west coast, so I guess it's not far fetched or anything.

The thing is... It would be found out, and shot down over the ocean. Just because they can make it here, doesn't mean it won't be easily intercepted.

Yeah, and that's why I'm asking for some sources to verify or falsify said article, you nullwit.

Okay, I think I have seen the exact same graphic. Or something very similiar at least. I retract my statement about Japan. Must have been some other country.

Still nowhere near the states.

The Taepo Dong 2's are still a developmental missile. So they don't actually have any operational models in the inventory AFAIK. Of course, it's been six years since I got to look at the really good info (which I couldn't share any way), so I'm not sure about how much progress they've made on the design since then.

As for sources of info, I'd like to point people towards the FAS website which has a load of good info on various defense related programs.

Hope that clears up any misunderstandings.

Ahhh good, another post by Maradon where he blithely ignores all facts to spout off the Republican party line! And he wonders why he's pigeonholed as a radical right-winger. Well, let's see:

quote:
Maradon! came out of the closet to say:
What wealth of ignorance is this? Why are people talking about Iraq like it has anything to do with north korea? Like mentioning Iraq in light of a threat from North Korea somehow makes you clever?

Because North Korea undermines global security, but even if we wanted to, we couldn't do jack shit about it because our forces are tied up building sand castles in Iraq.

Also, because they're also part of the "Axis of Evil". I guess that means you think the president incorrectly thinks he's clever too, huh?

quote:
Maradon! came out of the closet to say:
If Bush had tried to invade north korea you'd be playing the same bullshit "failed diplomacy" cards you idiots played with Iraq. If we tried to invade North Korea the same idiots protesting Iraq would be protesting North Korea. Then when we started getting baathist-funded suicide bombers from Syria crawling all over the states, you'd be blaming Bush for invading north korea instead of Iraq.

And then when Brazil's secret army infiltrates the states, we'll be blaming Bush because he didn't buy enough coffee. And then when Equador sells someone a glass of sour lemonade we'll be blaming Bush because he didn't supply enough sugar to them. HEY LOOK GUYS, I can play the completely fictitious chain of events for hypothetical situations blame game too!!!

By the way, you idiot, if you'll recall I was saying well before we committed to action in Iraq that North Korea should be a bigger priority, and that if military action is required there, I support it. Don't stick your addle-minded opinion that I'd be complaining about North Korea the same way I complain about Iraq into my mouth, just because you can't comprehend the valid reasons for being against the action in Iraq enough to understand that they don't even apply in a North Korea scenario.

quote:
Maradon! came out of the closet to say:
And for the last fucking time, the thread of weapons of mass destruction was ONE of MANY reasons that we LEAD A COALITION OF COUNTRIES into Iraq. Jesus christ it's like you can say these things a billion times only to have them patently ignored over and over again just because people choose not to hear it.

Please cite quotes from before the invasion from administration officials where other reasons for the invasion were put forth instead of the WMD reason. I'm dying to see what you come up with.

I also like how you capitalize and bold "COALITION OF COUNTRIES" when it suits your cause, but on the other side of the coin when the biggest countries of the coalition pulled out, you downplayed their importance and pointed out they didn't contribute much to the effort anyway. Pick a side here, please; are the other countries important or not?

A linux reference? That's a horrible, horrible suggestion.
