Korea Tensions Lead To Delay Of Minuteman III Test Flight

An anonymous reader writes "The U.S. plans on delaying 'the test of the Minuteman III intercontinental missile' that was scheduled for launching next week out of the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The reported reason is to prevent 'misperception or miscalculation' by North Korea. North Korea has warned foreign diplomats that 'they could not guarantee their safety from next Wednesday' onwards, but the warning has not caused any plans for evacuation of any embassies so far."

    Fuck them. These monkeys need to be taught a lesson, and I'm not talking stupid Iraq/Afghanistan type lessons, more like Desert Storm. Go destroy every piece of infrastructure they have and then let them rot in their own fetid mess. Innocent people will die, but the alternative is for innocent people to die too, so better off on our terms and without the protracted occupation or losses on our side. Control the air and render their offensive capability useless and they cease to be a threat.
