The North Korean Foreign Ministry, in a statement made through the state-run Korean Central News Agency, insisted that the country had the right to test its missiles and argued the weapons were needed for defense.
“The successful missile launches were part of our military’s regular military drills to strengthen self defense,” said the statement. “As a sovereign country, this is our legal right and we are not bound by any international law or bilateral or multilateral agreements.”
So I take it that means they weren’t satellite launches?
Oh, and North Korea warned it would continue with the drills, and woe to anyone who tries to stop them:
“Our military will continue with missile launch drills in the future as part of efforts to strengthen self-defense deterrent. If anyone intends to dispute or add pressure about this, we will have to take stronger physical actions in other forms,” the statement said.
God, I love the North Koreans.

“Dong! Dong! Dong!”
“What is it, Dear Leader?” asked Kim Jong Il’s aide.
“We launch Taepodong missile now! We show world we mighty!”
“But I don’t think the missile is ready for–”
“Show them my dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!”
“Fine! Will launch the missile! Just stop saying, ‘Dong.’” The aide gave a motion to the missile command, and they commenced launching a missile.
Jong rubbed his grubby hands together. “Hee hee hee! Now all the world will fear my dong! First, I must get my hair poofier! They will fear me when my hair is poofy and they see my dong! Poofier! Poofier! Dong! Dong!”
“I can’t make it any poofier!” cried Jong’s hair stylist. “If it gets any more poofy, the static electricity it would generate could set off the nuclear warheads and kill us all!”
“Poofier! Dong! Dong! Dong!”
The aide got off the phone. “That was the Chinese. They say they want their trains back. Did you steal the trains the Chinese sent their aid on?”
“No steal! Trains are part of aid! Trains are ours!”
“I know we need more trains, but, if we keep taking the Chinese trains, they won’t send anymore aid.”
“They will do what we tell them when they see my dong! Launch another Taepodong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Do–”
“Okay! Please just stop saying, ‘Dong.’” The aide motioned to missile command to launch another missile.
“Hee hee hee! All will see my dong and cower!”
LOL…now that’s some funny shit.
We should encourage North Korea to test every one of its bigger missiles — then deliver a warhead to KJI’s forehead when the stocks are depleted.
I am sure a few billion Euros and a million tons of rice or so would stop the “tests” for a while.
