Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned today it would be "a very serious matter and indeed a provocative act" if North Korea launched a long-range ballistic missile.
Rice's remarks, made at a news conference this afternoon with the Spanish foreign minister, are the latest in a series of warnings to the reclusive Pyongyang government not to end a moratorium on missile testing it agreed to in 1999.
Because of cloud cover and high altitude wind patterns, officials believe the earliest day for a potential missile launch would be Tuesday evening in Washington. North Korea is 14 hours ahead of Washington, and officials expect the North Koreans would launch a missile during daylight hours.
South Park creators Mat Stone and Trey Fisher could not be reached for comment although sources not even remotely associated with either of them inform us that Mat Stone is currently in Washington D.C. but Trey Fisher has been moved to an undisclosed secure location.
