TOKYO, Japan (AP) -- Japan has received intelligence indicating that North Korea may be preparing to test launch a short-range missile, an official said Thursday.
Information from spy satellites and radio waves has shown North Korea beefing up troops and equipment around missile launch bases, said Shigemi Terui, a spokesman at the prime minister's office.
The government has set up an emergency task-force team to help gather more information, Terui said.
The communist country test fired short-range anti-ship missiles into the ocean on several occasions last year during an international standoff over its nuclear weapons program.

If you ask me, until North Korea has full ICBM's, I think these silkworm missiles fitted with a nuclear tip are a bigger threat to the U.S. than anything else in Kim's arsenal. Especailly since most Air Craft carriers are the size of small cities with full compliment of cruisers, battleships, supply ships..etc..etc..The communist country test fired short-range anti-ship missiles into the ocean on several occasions last year during an international standoff over its nuclear weapons program.
Well, we don't ask, so shut up
Although you may want to shut down free speech, like your kind did to Al-Jazeera in Iraq, talking politics is still cons utionally-protected in the good ole USA.Well, we don't ask
I'd say they are a much bigger threat than those WMD in Iraq.
Take 'em out.
Considering those in Korea actually exist, yes.I'd say they are a much bigger threat than those WMD in Iraq.
Take 'em out.
I'd be inclined to suggest that everyone that lives on the west coast migrate east before that route is considered.
Considering those in Korea actually exist, yes.
Invading Korea would be a waste of time, resources--financial and personnel-wise. Several foreign heads of state with close ties to the country say they have them, the top 3 intelligence agencies in the world say they have them, they've had them before, and their ruler is a nut case.
Yeah, bad idea.
So the "world would be a safer place without him" argument doesn't work when it might be tougher to get him out.
Understood.Where have I heard that before?Invading Korea would be a waste of time, resources--financial and personnel-wise.
*pulls up a chair*
BTW, did we ever follow up on the big bang out there last week?
Sorry, I forgot the: [/whatever--if the liberals can say that about Iraq, then why shouldn't it apply to NKorea?]
*pops open an ice cold Shiner Bock*
More the reverse actually.
"...but you said that................................and they were wrong"
People will and get 'all righteously indingnated no matter what they decide to do or not do about Korea, trying to compare the situation to that in Iraq, and it'll happen, and it's not.
I thought what you had said was funny.
I'm not terribly indignant, I just think a huge opportunity is being missed and has been missed in Korea because of a stalemate over the format of any talks. Any further delay only plays into lil Kim's hands unfortunately.
No easy answer, that's for sure.
My kind?like your kind did to Al-Jazeera in Iraq,
Oh yeah, the ones who like Democracy, and hope it takes hold in the Middle East.
The ones who can put two and two together when Al Jazeera is going live to the scene of attacks on US troops before the attack takes place.
Carry on, "free speech".
I hope it takes hold in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait too....Oh yeah, the ones who like Democracy, and hope it takes hold in the Middle East.
Perhaps Kim will always be a crazy er and will trick the ugly Americans again and again and again.
I'm tellin' ya, we need to nuke'em.
Is there anybody you don't want to nuke?
Nuke France.Is there anybody you don't want to nuke?
:gun
Canada, but only because of prevailing wind currents.
Your "Nuke 'em" thinking is precisley why other countries feel the need to develop their own nuclear weapons.
No it's not. They just want to be a member of the club.
