N. Korea Has New, Accurate Missile-U.S. Officials

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - North Korea has used Russian technology to develop a new, intermediate-range missile that may be the most capable and accurate system in Pyongyang's arsenal, U.S. officials said on Wednesday.
There also are "indications" the North Koreans have begun limited production of the longer-range Taepo Dong 2 missile that can reach the continental United States and may be ready for export, a senior official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters.

Experts said if Pyongyang has built a new missile based on a new design instead of old Scud technology, this would be a significant development. But some were skeptical. One U.S. official said he believed the Bush administration was still divided on its assessments of the Pyongyang's missile program.

2. But....

They have children in schools
preparing for institutes
where they will train to be engineers
who will work for the evil government
who is interested in developing programs!
that could design weapons
which could be built
and that could be used during some future 45 minutes
to threaten the rest of the civilized world.

Bush, the little boy who cried 'wolf'...

4. I doubt it

NK can't afford to feed their own people much less build a long range missile.
