NK Missile Warhead Found in Alaska¡¯

The warhead of a long-range missile test-fired by North Korea was found in the U.S. state of Alaska, a report to the National Assembly revealed yesterday.

``According to a U.S. document, the last piece of a missile warhead fired by North Korea was found in Alaska,¡¯¡¯ former Japanese foreign minister Taro Nakayama was quoted as saying in the report. ``Washington, as well as Tokyo, has so far underrated Pyongyang¡¯s missile capabilities.¡¯¡¯

The report was the culmination of monthlong activities of the Assembly¡¯s overseas delegation to five countries over the North Korean nuclear crisis. The Assembly dispatched groups of lawmakers to the United States, Japan, China, Russia and European Union last month to collect information and opinions on the international issue.

The team sent to Japan, headed by Rep. Kim Hak-won of the United Liberal Democrats, reported, ``Nakayama said Washington has come to put more emphasis on trilateral cooperation between South Korea, Japan and the United States since it recognized that the three countries are within the range of North Korean missiles.¡¯¡¯

According to the group dispatched to the U.S., American politicians had a wide range of opinions over the resolution of the nuclear issue, from ``a peaceful resolution¡¯¡¯ to ``military response.¡¯¡¯

Doves, such as Rep. Edward J. Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat and co-chairman of the Bipartisan Task Force on Nonproliferation, called for a peaceful settlement of the current confrontation, by offering food, energy and other humanitarian aid to the poverty-stricken country, while urging the North to give up its nuclear ambitions.

Rep. Markey also said the North should return to the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and the U.S. should make a nonaggression pact with the communist North.

Hardliners, however, warned that the North¡¯s possession of nuclear weapons will instigate a nuclear race in the region, provoking Japan to also acquire nuclear weapons. Rep. Mark Steven Kirk, an Illinois Republican, said the U.S. might have to bomb the Yongbyon nuclear complex should the North try to export its nuclear material to other countries.

Over the controversy concerning the withdrawal of U.S. forces stationed here, most American legislators that the parliamentary delegation met said U.S. troops should stay on the peninsula as long as the Korean people want, the report said.

Can't that supposedly be considered an act of war? A missile fired by a foriegn country on to US soil?

This is the same missile that was test fired over Japan...

Its clearly a way of demonstrating their military ICBM ability.

U.S. First Line of Defense in that region is based in Japan.

Only Asian news agencies are carrying the story. No US officials seem to have actually heard about this find and we don't seem to have any pieces of North Korean warhead in our possession. A missile fired from North Korea into Alaska could be easily be tracked and would certainly garner a response, probably a big glowing one. At the moment I don't see any substantial evidence to support it and believe it to be a case of overactive South Korean imaginations.

WITH THE WAR NOW "AT THE GATE"
I DONT THINK THE GUYS IN WASHINGTON WOULD TELL THE US PUBLIC,
RIGHT NOW THE ATTENTION IS ON IRAQ,MAN WHAT WOULD THE PUBLIC SAY TO THOSE PIECES ON OUR SOIL? NUKE'M!!!!!!!!
THEY AINT GOING TO SAY MUCH OF ANYTHING UNTIL WERE READY FOR THAT FRONT.

PRESS TO TEST

Make no mistake.......North Korea is not being ignored, and will not be ignored when the sh!t hits the fan in Iraq. Guam has B-52's and Bones on alert, the USS Carl Vinson Battle group has assumed a posture in the Sea of Japan, nobody but the head dolphin knows how many boomers are are in theatre to give Kim Jong IL something to think about. North Korea will get a good jolt if need be. Anyone want to debate the neccesity of a 600 ship Navy now?

I seem to detect some difference between Buzz's original post and the quote. Anyone else also see that, or do I need new glasses?
