You really think this is action, try living in Iraq for the past then years.
But sure, America has its problems and the forecast for more hostilities as the US engages in self serving international action is going to become more dire. The cities here in Australia might cope a flogging, but there are still aboriginal tribes untouched by western influence here. Basically, the world goes with what works, if the US want to be a pain in ass about things then it reaps what it sows. If the US does have a bright and moral future for us then we will follow.

I have not been to Iraq, seen enough over the wire though. My grandad was in the region back in the war and have seen the generational affects. If war really broke out with China then it would be civil here in Australia as China is a large part of or this heritage and culture. If civil war was to break out in America, then the China component would gain further strength in the anarchy, it is quite well organized with some stronger moral fiber considering the current chaos.

No, they aren't moving them for the purpose of disarmament. That's not what their movements indicate.
Yes, it's likely nothing more than the same benign posturing we've seen for a long time now.

They are moving them because they like the attention they get when satellites track their movement of missiles.
Those missiles are horrendous. If they launch 50, they have a 1/50 chance of actually hitting something important, and probably a 1/100 chance that the nuke will actually go off. Pyongyang will be dust before the missile even reaches it's target.edit on 21-4-2013 by badconduct because: (no reason given)

Doesn't matter if "they" can see what time is on your fake "Rolex", "they" can't tell if it's fake or not from space. All NK need it's just a shell of the real missle to move around and pretend its a real deal.

Who the heck is "they" you always reffering too ?!
And just to be clear, cause I have a feeling I don't want to argue with a teen - fake "Rolex" was just an example, could have easily been said a real "Rolex".
The reported request comes amid heightened concerns about threats from North Korea, which is increasingly showing signs of aggression. On Sunday, Reuters reported a South Korean news agency as saying North Korea has moved two short-range missile launchers to its east coast, indicating preparations for a test launch.
“The Americans are reasonably comfortable that they have the capacity to head off anything (from North Korea),” he said. “But if something came over the pole from Iran, that’s a different dimension, and that would also potentially be a more serious threat to Canada.”
An unidentified South Korean military source told the South's Yonhap news agency that satellite imagery showed that North Korean forces had moved two mobile missile launchers for short-range Scud missiles to South Hamgyeong province. "The military is closely watching the North's latest preparations for a missile launch," the source said.

Didn't they say this a couple of weeks ago...they were on the launch site, fueling them....is it not the case that once fueled they have to be fired in 48 hours otherwise they become expensive paper weights?
Id like to see some images personally......we can all claim things, like i have a Bugatti Veyron and 12 Ferrari's in my garage.
