Thursday - In the bible: "Satan will celebrate the 4th day..."
The Defense Department says in the absence of any statement by the North Korean government it will not be possible to know whether a widely expected missile launch is a test or an attack.

This Thread has an rticle that states NK has not declared its intent for the missle launch.
A government official said, “We think North Korea has poured liquid fuel into the missile propellant built in the missile launching pad at Musudan-ri in northern Hamgyong Province,” adding that “it is at the finishing stage before launching.” Injecting liquid fuel is the stage right before launching a missile, and therefore is interpreted as the most certain indication of a launch.
But the government has said that they have not been able to get a final confirmation whether the process of injecting liquid fuel has been completed. In the case that the missile is not launched within 48 hours after injecting fuel in the missile propellant, the fuel causes the propellant to corrode, so if the missile is not to be launched, the fuel must be removed.

There is no Emperor of China. Did you mean President Jintao?

And would they attack if we had their leader on one of our battleships?
