West Coast mystery missile may be North Korean
Note from No Lies Radio News editor: President Obama arrived in South Korea, Thursday, November 11, 2010 for the G20 summit. North Korea has shown a pattern in the past of staging spectacular shows of force during important American holidays or events…remember the missile launches over the 4th of July in 2006.

“A shot over the bow,” is what some in America’s intelligence community are whispering under the stunned media’s demands for answers.
And if the United State’s Navy is telling the truth, heads will roll among some of the Pentagon’s brass for permitting a foreign enemy vessel to breach U.S. sovereign territory and send a chilling message to the American government.
Make no mistake. The missile, launched approximately 35 miles from the city of Los Angeles and north of Catalina island about 5 PM PDT (November 8, 2010), came from an offshore submarine.
Perhaps the navy had an accidental missile launch? Well maybe. If so, they will not be able to continue to cover up the mishap for very long.
But another more frightening scenario is being discussed by insiders at Homeland Security and the super-secret National Security Agency: North Korea has rattled its saber again—this time with a very, very large missile launched from a Sang-O class sub modified to carry a missile or towing a missile launching sea sled. A sea sled missile launch platform was first perfected by Nazi Germany in WWII and planned for use in the closing months of the war against New York and Washington, D.C.
The missile, called by one expert as “big enough to be an ICBM,” lit up the western skies and emitted a long, thick plume on its way towards the stratosphere. That same expert asserted the missile was too big to be a Tomahawk. He speculated it might be a USN “demonstration” of our power to China.
With all due respect, that supposition is ludicrous.
Unconfirmed reports filtering in claim the missile harmlessly splashed down in the northwest Pacific.
North Korea’s race for longer range missiles
Iran, partnered with North Korea, is working on upgrading its own missiles. They seek a new class with more accuracy and greater effective range. Their goal is to wed nuclear warheads to long-range intercontinental ballistic missiles (LRICBMs). Although the U.N. and most Western powers know this, they are only making halfhearted attempts to prevent it.
Yet North Korea is almost there. Tweaking the Western powers—and the United States in particular—the generals in Pyongyang dubbed their newest class missile the”Los Angeles” rocket. Of course they are implying that they intend (if given half the chance) to mate their growing nuclear arsenal with perfected missiles and threaten the U.S. West Coast.
