NorKo's readying launch

North Korea is readying the launch of a long range missile:

North Korea has moved key components of a long-range missile to a launch pad as well as 10 large liquid-gas tanks to fuel it, a South Korean newspaper reported on Saturday, citing government officials.

The United States on Friday warned North Korea against conducting a "provocative" intercontinental missile test after U.S. officials said there were signs a launch could take place as early as this weekend.

Kim Jong Il is an attention whore extraordinaire. He obviously wants the spotlight back from Iran.
