BRKNG: North Korea Says It Will Launch Long-Range Rocket This Month, Possibly Followed By Nuclear Test!!!

And it will fall apart like the piece of shit it probably is.

The new leader is trying to show the hard liners that he is in charge. There have been rumors he is not holding power well and the military may want to "replace" him.

Desperate attempt by a useless man/child to hold on to his slipping power seat.

I can deal with the short-term NK DOOM!

My guess is this would happen before the election...

As North Korea reaches the final stage of preparations for a long-range rocket launch, concern is growing that it is in the early stages of preparing its underground test site for another nuclear explosion.

Pyongyang established the pattern three years ago when it tested a similar rocket and then followed it a month later with a nuclear test.

KCNA said the launch was a request of late leader Kim Jong Il, whose Dec. 17, 2011, death North Koreans are expected to mark with some fanfare.
