North Korea is keeping up with its provocative acts. What can we expect next?
Extract from FOX News: North Korea Fires Four More Test Missiles: Should U.S. Be Worried?
This is a rush transcript from “On the Record,” July 2, 2009. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Four more missiles — North Korea just shot off four more missiles. They are short-range missiles, but is this a preview of what’s to come? And what, if anything, should we do? Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton joins us. Short range, but?
JOHN BOLTON, FORMER U.S. AMBASSADOR TO THE U.N.: Well, I think this could be the prelude to a July 4th special. These are basically shore-to- ship, anti-ship missiles that I think the North Koreans were using as a signal to the U.S. not to get too close to their coast. Whether there’s more to come, who can say.
VAN SUSTEREN: You know, it’s sort of interesting. We were tracking that ship, that North Korean ship that was suspected of having contraband on it, and it turned around. What — I mean, it’s, like — that’s peculiar. Never went anyplace. Now it’s turned around.
BOLTON: Well, you can speculate on this. I’ll give you one pretty good speculation. I think it may have thought it could get into a port in China undetected, refuel and then go on to Burma. And it realized with the U.S. destroyers tracking it that it wasn’t going to be able to do that. It didn’t have enough fuel to go anywhere, so it just went back to North Korea this time.
