Another Distraction for Obama: North Korea Fires Another Missile

NIce spin away for Obama to nominate his Supreme Court nominee today after North Korea test fires missiles and conducts a nuclear explosion in violation of United Nation’s Resolutions and American diplomacy over the long Memorial Day weekend.

But, North Korea is not cooperating.

North Korea launched an additional short-range missile from its east coast Tuesday night, an official at the South Korean presidential office said Wednesday.

   “The North appears to have launched a ground-to-ship missile into the East Sea shortly after 9 p.m. Tuesday,” the official said, asking not to be identified. Pyongyang had launched two short-range missiles from its east coast earlier Tuesday, following its supposed nuclear test the day before.

   Officials here believe the missile launches are partly aimed at preventing South Korean and U.S. reconnaissance planes from nearing the communist state to verify its claimed nuclear test.

In the meantime, President Obama is on his way to Las Vegas where he is to raise money for Democrat Senate Majority Leader Dingy Harry Reid’s 2010 re-election race.

It is a dangerous world out there, Mr. President.
