Even Dubya wasn't crazy enough to go shaking that hornet's nest.....but under North Korea's current regime, even they think this war is inevitable and Lil Kim is a known unknown as Rummy would say...
U.S. Official: North Korea Could Test Fire Missiles At Any Time (have received their liquid fuel)
Read more: http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/09/world/...oreas-tensionsCNN) -- The Obama administration calculates it's likely North Korea may test fire mobile ballistic missiles at any time, based on the most recent intelligence showing Pyongyang probably has completed launch preparations, a U.S. official said Tuesday.
The administration believes a test launch could happen without North Korea issuing a standard notice to commercial aviation and maritime shipping warning them to stay away from the missile's path, according to the official, who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the information.

Imagery has been impeded by some bad weather, which means there is less than perfect knowledge about what is happening on the ground. But based on what the United States has seen, the belief is that the missiles have received their liquid fuel and are ready for launch.
After any launch, U.S. satellites and radars in the region would be able to calculate the trajectory of missiles within minutes and quickly conclude whether they are on a test path headed for open ocean or potentially headed for land areas such as Japan.

A woman returning to South Korea from the Kaesong industrial park in the North on Tuesday. “His father and his grandfather, as far as I can see, always figured into their provocation cycle an ‘off ramp,’ ” the commander, Adm. Samuel J. Locklear III, said during testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee. “And it’s not clear to me that he has thought through how to get out of it. And so that’s what makes this scenario, I think, particularly challenging.”
The administration has settled on a strategy of refusing to make concessions to the North and has adopted a new plan to deter any hostilities by promising a proportionate response. In doing so, it hopes to reverse what is considers a long-term pattern in which the West offers aid to calm tensions and then North Korea breaks its promises to halt its nuclear program. But Obama administration officials acknowledge that the new strategy will work only if Mr. Kim either backs down or satisfies himself with a token show of force, like a missile test into the open ocean. The South Koreans have warned such a test could happen as early as this week.
It's Wednesday now on the peninsula....

The ships are all equipped with the Aegis Combat System, a weapons array that uses computers and radar to track and guide weapons to destroy enemy targets.
Japan dispatched two destroyers of the Maritime Self-Defense Force to the Sea of Japan by April 9. The U.S. Navy also sent three Aegis destroyers not only to waters near Japan, but also in the vicinity of Guam to protect that U.S. territory.

One U.S. Aegis destroyer has been sent near the waters of Guam, while another is being deployed off the eastern coast of the Shimokita Peninsula in northern Japan.

Japan deploys patriot missiles to defend Tokyo
Saddam proved he was a threat by actually using WMD. North Korea has a history of Sabre Rattling. Somebody must have reduced their food stamps.
No one think is war is inevitable except you.
...and the North Koreans....

According to intelligence analysis, the North has moved two Musudan intermediate missiles, which had been concealed in a shed in the eastern port city of Wonsan, in and out of the facility. Four or five wheeled vehicles, suspected to be so-called transporter erector launchers (TEL), were also spotted being moved around in South Hamgyeong Province.
"There are signs the North could fire off Musudan missiles any time soon," an intelligence source said, asking for anonymity. "But the North has been repeatedly moving its missiles in and out of a shed, which needs close monitoring."
South Korean and U.S. intelligence officials have been closely monitoring the North Korean facility believed to contain the Musudan missiles mounted on the TELs. The missile can fly 3,000-4,000 kilometers, making it capable of hitting the U.S. base in Guam in the Pacific Ocean.
Nope, they don't either.
They just want some food.
O'Reilly?

The assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency, which has been distributed to senior administration officials and members of Congress, cautions that the weapon’s “reliability will be low,” apparently a reference to the North’s difficulty in developing accurate missiles or, perhaps, to the huge technical challenges of designing a warhead that can survive the rigors of flight and detonate on a specific target.
It is unclear whether other American intelligence agencies agree with the assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency, which has primary responsibility for monitoring the missile capabilities of adversary nations. In the case of Iraq, a decade ago, the agency was among those that argued most vociferously that Saddam Hussein had nuclear weapons.
Outside experts said that the report’s conclusions helped explain why the administration announced last month that it was bolstering long-range antimissile defenses in Alaska and California, designed to protect the West Coast, and was rushing another antimissile system, originally not intended for deployment until 2015, to Guam.
I find this to be highly unlikely.A new assessment of North Korea’s nuclear capability conducted by the Pentagon’s intelligence arm has concluded for the first time, with “moderate confidence,” that the country has learned how to make a nuclear weapon small enough to be delivered by a ballistic missile.
Does this mean you think there will be war or not, dan?
I consider it quite plausible. The question is, will it properly detonate?
What in your experience leads you to find this plausible?
