North Korea said Tuesday its missiles can reach the U.S. mainland -- days after South Korea announced a deal with the United States to extend its missile range.
The strike zone of North Korean rocket forces includes "not only the bases of the puppet forces and the U.S. imperialist aggression forces' bases in the inviolable land of Korea, but also Japan, Guam and the U.S. mainland," the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported.
But some analysts questioned the claim.
"That's been a desire or an objective, politically, for North Korean leadership for quite some time. But they have not demonstrated that capability," said Daniel Pinkston of the International Crisis Group's North East Asia Program.
"The important goal in revising the missile pact is to deter armed provocation from North Korea," Chun said. "If North Korea is to attack or provoke, we are able to incapacitate its nuclear and missile (capabilities) in the early stage. We have guaranteed various capabilities to protect the life and safety of our people."

If they threaten us, we should use a BIGGER bomb to scare them away, have Obama smiling next to it with thumbs up and shotgun in his other hand (so he looks tough) and that would scare them off.
I hope that this isn't true. If this is true, we may not be in danger, as we may be able to stop them, then we seriously need to do something about this. We better figure out what to do.
This is not very good. I think that we need to make sure that we are at peace with them.
this is horrible we should probably try stopping these so they don't end up killing us.
If its true, we are in danger and should do something about it. I think we should try to destroy the missles before they take off.
uhh yeah something needs to be done about this.
I think that we should do something about it. like take em out!
