They were "conveniently" tested on our Independence Day, and the same time NASA launched a shuttle. Hmm.....?
The first two went down in the Japan Sea. They were short-distance missiles. The third one failed after 35 seconds, but it was a long-range capable of hitting the US.
Absolutely NO ONE can say that this is not a threat, and anyone who does, is either in North Korea or in denial!

They were only tests. The US has known about these missles for the past three weeks and have been monitoring them. Although they did fire an inter-continential long range missle, which was a surprise to US intelligence. But no worries North Korea is at least five to ten years away from developing a missle that can reach our shores.

I dont know the reason that they fired the missles today but i know that if they were just "testing" them and that the test was succesful then the people on the west coast would be in trouble so I dont think that they were just "testing" and I hope we dont go to war because we have already lost too many men and women over the B.S. that we are in now..

The missiles weren't aimed at the US, one just theoretically had a long enough range to reach the US had it not failed. All were fired only as tests, without warheads so they wouldn't have blown anything up.
They fired today precisely because America is not in any position to go to war with them, and this is their chance to perfect their war machines so that the world won't mess with them when the world is more disposed towards dealing with another crackpot dictator. (So you see, North Korea still has plenty of time to get its long range missiles to work)

They tested them to prove that they can. It's a macho exercise to show that if anyone wants to mess with them, they can fight back. France did the same thing in the '90's with the nuclear testing.This isn't the first time either, they fired a missile over Japan a couple of years ago. I don't think it will result in war, not at this stage.

Under Clinton he gave the North Koreans almost everything that they wanted so they figured that Bush would do the samething. He hasnn't so they fired the missles to get what they wanted. Will not work this time.

U have more of a chance of getting hit by lightning than being hit by a north korean missile.

They were not firing them at us. They were testing their missiles. We don't want them to do that because we do not want their weapons to be as good as we have. I don't think we will be going back to war with them.

LOL. Hmmm... I didn't hear about them doing that, but it's because they hate us... That and we rock. And they didn't fire at us, they were testing their missiles, so they're not there yet
