Furthermore, THAT INFORMATION is SURPRISINGLY(?) OMITTED from the MSM "news" report.
How about that, huh?
"Obama issues warning on North Korea rocket; Says launch would draw stern reaction" by Pauline Jelinek, Associated Press | April 3, 2009
WASHINGTON - As North Korea fueled a multistage rocket yesterday for its threatened satellite launch, President Obama promised a "stern" response, and Japan vowed to press for an emergency session of the UN Security Council.
This is CHANGE from George W. Bush, huh?
US defense officials said that trailers and vehicles carrying rocket propellant were in place at North Korea's coastal launch site, and that fueling had begun. A US counterproliferation official said the fueling process could take "up to a few days." But a senior US intelligence official said Pyongyang was on track for a launch tomorrow.
At the G-20 summit in London, Obama and President Lee Myung Bak of South Korea issued a statement agreeing on "a stern, united response from the international community if North Korea launches a long-range rocket."
State Department spokesman Robert Wood would not address the US intelligence reports. But he repeated earlier warnings for the North Koreans not to take any provocative actions. Japan's ambassador to the United Nations said his nation will request an emergency session of the Security Council if North Korea proceeds with the launch.
Yukio Takasu said he raised the possibility during council talks yesterday. Takasu and other council diplomats say they anticipate a possible emergency session as early as this weekend.
North Korea heightened its militarist rhetoric toward the United States, Japan, and South Korea yesterday, threatening retaliation for any attempt to shoot down the rocket.
Yup, NOTHING about the SHAPE of the PAYLOAD and the KOREANS TELLING the TRUTH here!
Just MORE WAR PROPAGANDA and OMISSIONS from the SHITTY AmeriKan MSM!!!!
Quoting an unidentified North Korean general, the North Korean Central News Agency said Japan would be struck with a "thunderbolt of fire" if it attempts to intercept the multistage rocket.
Is that a mistranslation that theZionist AmeriKan MSM is famous for, or.... ?
The news service also issued a veiled threat against American warships moving in position to monitor the launch, saying: "The United States should immediately withdraw armed forces deployed if it does not want to receive damage."
Of course, the US NEVER THREATENS ANYONE, right?!!

Some US lawmakers are urging Obama to shoot down the rocket if it endangers the United States or its allies.
But that is not MILITARISTIC RHETORIC or a THREAT, is it?
They are PUTTING UP a SATELLITE, assholes!!!!
Defense Secretary Robert Gates said during a weekend interview that the United States had no plans to intercept the rocket, though it might consider the move if an "aberrant missile" were headed to Hawaii "or something like that."
US officials have been keeping tabs on North Korea's launch preparations with satellite imagery. North Korea has complained that the United States is also using high-altitude U-2 spy planes, and has warned the aircraft would be shot down.Of course, WE are entitled to spy on anyone anywhere we like. Had enough of AmeriKa's -- and Obama's -- hypocrisy yet, 'murka?
Is the TOLERANCE of such DECEPTIONS worth a WORLD WAR?
--more--"
So we have TWO DAYS of WAR-PUSHING PROPAGANDA going; anybody care to try for three?
"North Korea making final preparations to send up rocket; Neighbor nations on alert; some say launch likely today" by Choe Sang-Hun, New York Times | April 4, 2009
SEOUL - Determined to demonstrate its latest missile technology both to US policy makers and perhaps to potential buyers in the Middle East, North Korea pressed ahead with final preparations yesterday to launch a multi-stage rocket....
Pffft! The Jew York Times, huh? No wonder they are going down the drain.
I haven't read or purchased them for over a year and never will again. Their lying war propaganda was simply too much.
And it looks like I won't be getting the Globe much longer.
See: Times Co. threatens to shut Globe
Yeah, that's what happens when you are a DAMN LIAR!!!!
North Korea said it is launching an experimental communications satellite, but Washington and its allies see the test as a provocative demonstration of ballistic missile technology and an attempt to secure a place in President Barack Obama's crowded foreign policy agenda.
Nothing about the SHAPE of the PAYLOAD and the Koreans telling the truth -- again!!! Thanks, Jew York Times, thanks a lot!
Neighboring governments were on heightened alert yesterday. They had navy ships with missile-tracking radar deployed in waters near North Korea. North Korea reportedly moved jet fighters closer to the launch site; it has threatened to counterattack if any government tried to stop the launch....
In a sales pitch for his missiles, Kim may also have invited arms dealers from the Middle East to the launch site, they said.
What do you mean MAY HAVE, you propagandistic piece of shit?
