Sounds to me like he's just saying it failed and hinting that the NKs might be idiots for not building a better missile.

the word out now is that north korea "aborted" the missile after 38-40 seconds, and he's commenting on why someone would abort a missile test

QUOTE US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld Wednesday said the apparent failure of North Korea's long-range Taepodong-2 missile failed was a "fact." QUOTE But he told reporters "the fact that it failed is a fact." Don't see anything about aborting... -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

QUOTE (Hartmann @ Jul 6 2006, 11:18 AM) Don't see anything about aborting... I think that's what Rumsfeld was trying to say. It's retarded for the North Koreans to say they "aborted" the missile when it was obviously a failure. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

Ahhh... guess I didn't catch that. North Koreans aborting something? Ha! They don't abort anything, they need as many tiny miners as they can get... ba-da-bing! -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
