Well they did it , and nobody shot it down ?.
But there sure is a lot of lip flapping going on , You know the normal , Bad North Korea , You shouldn't do that it is not nice , why can't you just play nice with us North Korea ? it is all B.S.
supposedly they said they put a satellite in orbit ,I doubt it , but i guess the possibility is there ? if this was a successful launch the world has some new serious issues to deal with today !
The U.N. is holding an Emergency meeting , so that means nothing will happen at all !
....
TOKYO/SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea fired a long-range rocket over Japan on Sunday, provoking international outrage and triggering an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council as it succeeded in grabbing the world's attention.
The reclusive communist state's official media said a satellite had been launched into orbit, and it was now circling the earth transmitting revolutionary songs. But both the U.S. military and South Korea said nothing had entered orbit.
U.S. President Barack Obama said the U.N. Security Council should deliver a strong message to North Korea for what analysts believe was effectively a test of a ballistic missile designed to carry a warhead potentially as far as Alaska.
The rocket launch is the first big challenge for Obama in dealing with the prickly North, whose efforts to build a nuclear arsenal have long plagued ties with Washington. North Korea tested a nuclear device in 2006.
"With this provocative act, North Korea has ignored its international obligations, rejected unequivocal calls for restraint, and further isolated itself from the community of nations," Obama, who is on a European tour, said in a statement.
Obama later said North Korea must be forced to change.
The 15-member U.N. Security Council will hold consultations on the launch at 3 p.m. EDT on Sunday.

Boo. All this popcorn and no place to go.
Big whoop.
This could have been taken care of so easily with just a little boom high in the night sky.
To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement.
Now to have to listen to the politicos and diplos do nothing but flap their jaws and dither.
Sickening.
If Obama wanted to send a "strong" message to North Korea he should've ordered the missile shot down.
Instead he's ordering the UN to shot North Korea with empty words.
