North Korea fires short-range missile into Sea of Japan: reports

North Korea is believed to have fired a short-range missile Sunday into the Sea of Japan, Japanese news reports said, amid a standoff between the communist state and the outside world over its nuclear ambitions.
Japanese public broadcaster NHK said the short-range missile was fired from the east coast of North Korea and flew about 100 kilometers (62 miles) until it fell into the sea.

You can expect a similar test soon in Iran. This is the perfect missle for Iran to attack US forces with when Israel takes out the Iranian nuke capability with the bunker busters the US just sold to them. NK develops the systems for terrorist states like Iran. It time to "ann coulter" both places.

then its great news for iran if they get these missiles and have even a larger capcity to take out more US/Israeli forces forces before they go down
unlike Iraq which just took the beating as it came

You be vewwy, vewwy afwaid of mighty kowean weader Kim!

They fire them into the ocean because that's the only target they're confident they won't miss.
I am not that impressed by NK's glorified V2's.

Be careful saying that, you might be surprised when the actually use them against real targets...

North Korea fires missiles toward japan all the time.
Usually it is done about this time of the year, between May and
August, most of the time in August. They do it around this time of the
year for many reasons.

Here's a link, It's a very general search so there's some uneccesary stuf in there too.

I think its supposed to be a message to the Japanese that if a war breaks out on the peninsula , the Japanese island will be affected as well.

I think Kim intends to pressure Japan to slow down any warplans of its gun
-ho ally, the usa, iow, I believe Kim barks, but wants to avoid a real war...
