North Korea tested four short range missiles today. They flew about 100 miles. Could they be warming up for the 4th of July?
SEOUL (Reuters) – North Korea may test mid-range missiles or fire more short-range missiles to step up saber rattling that has raised regional tension, a South Korean daily said on Friday.
The North fired four short-range missiles on Thursday, which follows a rocket launch in April that boosted its long-range missile capability and a nuclear test on May 25 that put it closer to having a working atomic bomb.

Off China’s coast, a U.S. destroyer was tailing a North Korean ship suspected of transporting illicit weapons to Myanmar in what could be the first test of U.N. sanctions passed to punish the nation for an underground nuclear test last month.
It seems like North Korea is getting a bit more aggressive. Read the story here.

I see where North Korea is getting at:
SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea has accused the United States of plotting atomic war against the communist regime, saying President Barack Obama’s recent reaffirmation of nuclear protection of South Korea only exposed his government’s intention to attack.
I didn’t believe it before, but now I know that North Korea is definitely bluffing.

Word has it that the U.S. has deployed anti-missile defenses around Hawaii and that North Korea is set to have their strongest missile hit on the fourth of July. Come on, North Korea. Why would you try to battle while in your early stages? I honestly feel that this is a desperate cry for attention.
