Bush Spends His Weekend With His Finger On The Button?

Well not that button. But a phone to be sure.

This is certainly an interesting little tidbit sliding in on a friday afternoon. I actually looked to see what was being buried this week and there this was:

Weather improving for N. Korea missile test, sources say

Possible U.S. interception plan spelled out

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Weather conditions would be favorable for North Korea to test its long-range ballistic missile this weekend, several military sources said Friday.

The sources, who are not authorized to speak publicly, also said U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has signed an order that spells out how the United States would launch an interceptor missile if the North Korean missile appeared to be on a trajectory toward any U.S. territory or interests.

Clouds covered the missile's launch site for much of this week, possibly delaying any launch plans, but the U.S. military sources said clear weather and favorable upper atmospheric conditions were forecast for the weekend. (Watch how U.S. is on guard for a North Korean launch -- 2:02)

Fears have grown in recent weeks following reports of activity at a site in northeastern North Korea where U.S. officials say a Taepodong-2 missile -- believed capable of reaching parts of the United States -- is possibly being fueled.

One official said Friday that North Korea is continuing activities "indicating a launch," although he emphasized no new indicators have been seen in the past couple of days.

The United States, Japan and other countries are concerned about North Korea's reported preparations for a long-range missile test. The North Koreans fired a Taepodong-1 missile over Japan in 1998, but declared a moratorium on future tests in 1999.

In the past week, however, North Korean officials have said they no longer feel bound to that moratorium because they are not engaged in direct negotiations with the United States.

Let's hope that trigger finger isn't too itchy shall we?

These bastards probably ginned up this whole missile launch story to launch a preemptive strike against NK. Its pretty much spelled out in "Rebuilding America's Defenses" that "Hey Hey, Ho Ho, North Korea has got to go.."

Dr. Strangelove movie with this group of psychos.

I certainly hope that is the case, and if so, the two other fingers have more sense than Little Boots.

They sure didn't stop Iraq!
