Is this their new distraction? Iraq is a debacle; too much international opposition to invading Iran (unless Israel does it); so now they target the last on their original list of the "axis of evil", North Korea?
It is interesting that China has been invited as an observer to the war games.
I wonder what's going on in space, not to mention cyberspace, or hyperspace.

On the other hand there are rumors on the internet that Israel will launch a false flag attack against the US fleet in the Persian Gulf (USS Abraham Lincoln) using the Russian-made Exocet missiles which Russia sold to Iran. (Israel would have had no trouble getting these missiles from the Russian mafia via Mossad.) Israel could lob a dud missile into Haifa causing minimal damage just to make themselves appear as a target as well.
To get the EU involved, "Old France" would be the most likely European target. "Al Quaeda of Iran" (operating through radical French "Islamacists" which is nothing but a front created by the US/UK/Mossad and possibly French intel agencies) would have easy access to all the rail lines. A subway bombing would be too much like a repeat of the London bombing.
Of course, they have to coordinate what in their minds would be the "best" occult date.
In the meantime, we are now going to be fed stories about how evil North Korea has missiles which can reach the US West Coast. It's certainly a more "verifable" story that proving that Iran's uranium enrichment program is capable of producing nuclear weapons at the present time. North Korea already has nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them.

U.S. begins massive war games in Pacific
HAGATNA, Guam (AP) -- Three aircraft carriers filled the skies with fighters as one of the largest U.S. military exercises in decades got underway Tuesday off this island in the western Pacific.
For the first time ever, a Chinese delegation was sent to observe the U.S. war games. But as the show of American military power began, North Korea -- one of the region's most unpredictable countries -- was rattling some swords of its own.
The maneuvers, dubbed "Valiant Shield," bring three carriers together in the Pacific for the first time since the Vietnam War. Some 30 ships, 280 aircraft and 22,000 troops will be participating in the five-day war games, which end Friday.
The exercises are intended to boost the ability of the Navy, Air Force and Marines to work together and respond quickly to potential contingencies in this part of the world, U.S. military officials said. Even U.S. Coast Guard vessels were joining in the maneuvers.
"The exercises are taking place on land, sea, air, space and cyberspace," said Senior Master Sgt. Charles Ramey. "They cover the whole spectrum."
The maneuvers mark the first major operation in this remote U.S. territory about halfway between Hawaii and Japan since the announcement last month that 8,000 Marines would be moved here from Okinawa in part of the biggest realignment of the U.S. forces in Asia in decades.
Though planned months ago, they come amid heightened concern in Asia over North Korea.
Officials in the United States, South Korea and Japan say they believe North Korea is preparing to test launch a Taepodong 2 long-range ballistic missile. The missile is believed be able to reach parts of the western United States.
Pyongyang shocked Tokyo by launching a Taepodong that flew over Japan's main island in 1998. North Korea claimed the launch successfully placed a satellite in orbit, but that claim has been widely disputed.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-il agreed on a moratorium on long-range missile launches during a summit with Japan in 2002. But Pyongyang said Tuesday it is no longer bound by that accord.
Military officials here had no comment on the activity in North Korea, or on what specific tactics or scenarios are being used in the exercises.
They stress, however, that the exercises have been opened to outside observation and are not intended to provoke North Korea.
"These exercises are not aimed at any one nation," Cmdr. Mike Brown said.
The exercises are instead intended to provide training in "detecting, locating, tracking and engaging" a wide range of threats in the air, land and sea.
Representatives from China, Japan, Australia, South Korea, Russia and Singapore were invited to attend.
China's presence has been singled out as particularly significant.
Though military relations between Beijing and Washington cooled when an American spy plane was captured in 2001, senior U.S. military officials are cautiously trying to mend the rift. At the same time, the Pentagon has expressed strong concern over the secrecy that shrouds China's rapidly modernizing military.
Adm. William J. Fallon, the top U.S. commander in the Pacific, said before the exercises began that implicit in the invitation was the expectation that China would reciprocate.
China's 10-member delegation includes one top-ranking officer each from the People's Liberation Army, air force and navy, the official Xinhua News Agency said Tuesday.
"The invitation to observe the U.S. military exercises is a very important component of exchanges between the militaries of China and the United States," Xinhua quoted an unidentified Defense Ministry official as saying.
Along with the USS Kitty Hawk, Ronald Reagan and Abraham Lincoln carrier strike groups, U.S. force fighters and B-2 bombers operating out of Guam's Andersen Air Force Base will join the maneuvers.
Brown said the exercises were to be held again next year, and then become a biennial event.
