Nadine,

I think this was a message to North Korea - we are watching you very carefully, don't make any mistakes.

Paul

>>Do you think that the government of Yemen just copped some free Scuds that somebody else paid for?<<

Makes the most sense to me.

[from Debka] The likely reason for this omission is simple: Yemen is a valuable ally in the US-led coalition against international terrorism.

No doubt - but what really irked about this story was not the discovery of the missiles themselves (Bilow's remark once about adolescents masturbating comes to mind) but that this right here is a more flagrant violation on the part of North Korea than anything we've gotten on Iraq since the mise en scene of the whole Shrub and Saddam soap opera.

Just more coherent behavior on the part of our fearless leaders I guess :-(
