If they launch a nuclear powered rocket I'm defecting.

The deal included no missile testing.

It would be interesting to see the wording of this agreement. The devil is in the details.

That's, I believe, the UNSC resolution that the DPRK is breaching in this instance. It's not directly tied into the US food aid proposal, however in the same year that resolution 1874 went into action the DPRK expelled US food monitors, which ended the food aid program.

A rocket launch is not considered a missle.
I'd rather any food export We were going to send them included the term...

The deal is between the US and the DPRK so I don't think the wording of the UNSC would be what we need.

Unfortunately, it is uncommon for State to release such information. Makes it easier to just tell the press what State wants to be disseminated.

Well, SOMEBODY thinks it violates the agreement.

http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/16/world/...nch/index.html

"At the time of the food aid agreement, under which North Korea would receive 240,000 metric tons of foodstuffs, the United States told Pyongyang that such a launch would be contrary to the accord, Nuland said."

"The DPRK announcement talks about a satellite launch," Nuland said. "However, as we know, it requires the use of missile technology to launch a satellite, and it's the use of the missile technology that is an explicit violation of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1874. So it's a matter of semantics. ... They say they're launching a satellite. We say 'you're launching it with ballistic missile technology, which the U.N. Security Council resolutions have explicitly precluded.' "

Bump to include these pictures of the epic North Korean launch control room:

With such grandeur as this, how could the launch go wrong?

It's only a model.

Japan deploys missile batteries as North Korea readies long-range rocket

TONGCHANG-RI SPACE CENTRE, North Korea — North Korea’s Unha-3 long-range rocket was on its launch platform Sunday as the regime insisted again that it is part of a peaceful space program and not a disguised ballistic missile, as the U.S. claims.
