"N. Korea is warned anew over launch" By Reuters | April 2, 2009
SEOUL - South Korea and Japan warned North Korea yesterday it would still violate UN resolutions if it tried to put a satellite into space, just days ahead of a planned rocket launch both see as a disguised missile test.
The rocket appears to have a bulb-shaped tip that gives credence to Pyongyang's claim it will carry a satellite, US defense officials said on Tuesday.
The United States, Japan and South Korea say they see no difference between a satellite and a missile launch because they use the same long-range rocket, the Taepodong-2, which is designed to carry a warhead as far as Alaska....
Well, when you ONLY SEE what you WANT TO SEE those things are going to happen.
"Whether it is a satellite or a missile, it is still a violation of UN sanctions," a South Korea Foreign Ministry official said....
I got ONE WORD for you: ISRAEL!!!!!
In London, a US official, speaking on the sidelines of a G20 meeting, said Washington would respond to any North Korean missile launch by raising the matter in the UN Security Council.
"The president made clear we are deeply concerned about the prospective missile launch by the North Koreans. . . . There will be a reaction to it," the official said.
WTF? Why? WE launch SATELLITES all the TIME?
--more--"
