While Bush was sneaking in to Iraq for his photo op, North Korea was getting ready to test a missile:
North Korea is accelerating preparations for testing a missile that has the potential to strike the United States, a U.S. government official said Friday. A test of the Taepodong-2 long-range missile may be imminent, the official said.Bush often says he can do more than one thing at a time, but clearly, he can't.
The official agreed to speak but only on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information.
The official said the Bush administration is very concerned about activities that point toward a test, but declined to elaborate.
