North Korean Missile Raised To Firing Position, Says US Official

Posted by timothy on from the hope-it's-not-the-one-for-austin dept.

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.'"

      You may not want to publicly advertise that juvenile penises make you come... or even that they satisfy you at all.

    If the missile stays raised in the firing position for more than four hours, Kim should call a doctor.

    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.
