North Korean Missile Raised To Firing Position, Says US Official
An anonymous reader writes with this snippet from CNN: "North Korea has raised at least one missile into its upright firing position, feeding concerns that a launch is imminent, a U.S. official told CNN Thursday. This comes as the world continued to keep watch for a possible missile launch by the secretive government, and a day before U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to arrive in the region. In the latest daily tough talk from the North, a government agency is quoted by the state-run media as saying that 'war can break out any moment.'"

Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Raised position .... ....
Preemptive strike
MUST NOT!
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
Isn't a North Korean rocket the ballistic equivalent of an American geography lesson?
It's cute that you consider Fox News a creditable source of information

Don't rush him. Kim Jong Jr. has the muscle shirt on, and the Def Leppard cranked -- phych-ing himself up for the right moment.

So if this missile strikes, or is believed to strike the US or one of our allies before being intercepted, does this constitute an act of war? If North Korea indicates the original trajectory was not intended to strike the US or one of our allies, but an unfortunate flaw diverted the course, do we still retaliate?
Yes nuke the bastards. The south is in dire need of more parking space.
Oh sorry this is slashdot not the comments section on CNN...I get confused sometimes.
In what experts are calling "the ultimate cry for attention", North Korea leader Kim Jung-Un blew himself up with his own nucleur weapons today. In an ironic twist, the missiles homed in on the largest Korean target available. Upon hearing this news Mrs. Un, who had been ordered to love Kim Jung with all of her heart, celebrated by feeding her people.
Any war with them with missiles would be concluded before you heard about it on Slashdot.
Maybe, but I bet someone would point out they saw it on reddit the day before.

I still hope this can be solved by oral arguments.

Preemptive strikes are only allowed on targets approved by the Halliburton Company.

Just to be clear, is that the original Slashdot posting or the dupe?

You're right! China could become polluted!
No need for nukes with North Korea, anyway. They will easily be flattened by conventional missles. They are effectively defenceless and have a tiny infrastructure.
Speaking of their infrastructure, most countries would be returned to the stone age by nukes. North Korea might actually be brought forward into the stone age by nukes.
Because they're both in a concentration camp.
