South Korea Discloses Plans to Attack North Korean Nukes

(Seoul, South Korea) It's news when a country mentions its "pre-emptive strike" plans regarding a neighboring country.

The South Korean military is prepared to launch a pre-emptive attack on North Korea’s nuclear installations if they become a military threat, Gen. Kim Tae-young, the newly designated chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in a hearing yesterday.

Now, the North Koreans will have to say or do something in response. Oh, wait a minute! They did.

North Korea on Friday fired several short-range missiles off its west coast, Yonhap news agency reported.

The South Korean agency, quoting a government source, said the missiles were fired at 10.30 am (0130 GMT) into the Yellow Sea. It said South Korean military authorities are closely watching the North’s military movements.

So, the South is talking about tossing missiles around while the North is tossing missiles around. Just lovely.
