North Korea mounted a rocket on a launchpad on its northeast coast, American officials said, putting the country well on track for a launch the U.S. and South Korea warned Thursday would be a major provocation with serious consequences.
Pyongyang says the rocket will carry a satellite, but regional powers suspect the North will use the launch to test the delivery technology for a long-range missile capable of striking Alaska. They have said the launch — banned by the U.N. Security Council in 2006 — would trigger sanctions. - FOX News Story
It appears that this is boiling down to a real standoff. Who will blink first? Will North Korea Launch or not? What will the Obama Administration do if they do?
This appears to be the first test of several real Tests Obama will face as President. He faced many questions during the Campaign of how he would handle this, now he has to show it. The World is Watching.
