US says there are no signs North Korea is preparing long range missile launch

The North Korean ship, the Kang Nam, has reportedly turned back towards North Korea and now this report that the Norks aren't preparing a missile launch on Independence Day. Could all of the threats made by Kim Jong be a test to see how far he get away with Obama? Bloomberg

July 2 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. doesn’t see any indication North Korea is poised to test-launch a long-range ballistic missile capable of landing near the Hawaiian Islands, according to four government officials.

The officials, who are privy to information about North Korean launch preparations, said there are no signs of the work necessary to launch a long-range missile during the U.S. July 4 Independence Day celebration. The officials don’t rule out the firing of short- and medium-range missiles capable of reaching Japanese waters.

The officials don't need to rule anything out now, since the Norks launched two short range missiles earlier today.
