North Korea Announces "Satellite" Launch

North Korea has informed an international organization that it plans to launch a satellite April 4 to 8, South Korea's state news agency reported Thursday, citing an unnamed intelligence official.

U.S. and South Korean officials have long said the communist nation is actually preparing to test-fire a long-range missile under the guise of a satellite launch.

The missile, Taepodong-2, is thought to have an intended range of about 4,200 miles (6,700 kilometers), which -- if true -- could give it the capability of striking Alaska or Hawaii.

Taken from CNN Asia.

Satellite or missile?  What do you think?

It is now 2015 and the crazy dictator, Kim Jong-un, is still a bunch of hot air.

Side: Satellites Pose No Threat

Kim Jong-Il is insane. I will never underestimate the capacity for his craziness. North Korea has been so isolated from the rest of the world that no one knows what they're up to. They might as well be packing a nuclear weapon into a 'satellite' and send it to Hawaii or... wait a minute... Alaska? Uh-oh. I'd better get outta here. Nah, I'll just hide under my concrete floors and call it a good fallout shelter.

I don't believe they have that technology.

Maybe I'm wrong, I think they want attention, and I'd call their bluff and ignore them.
