WASHINGTON (February 25, 2003 11:05 a.m. EST) - North Korea's test-firing of a
missile was "bizarre," President Bush's spokesman said Tuesday, joking that it was a
novel way for the communist nation to mark the inauguration of South Korea's new
president.

Pyongyang launched the anti-ship missile on Monday, the eve of Roh Moo-hyun's
inauguration. It splashed harmlessly into the Sea of Japan.

"Typically at times of inaugural festivities, most nations send flowers or bouquets or
visiting dignitaries. North Korea sent a short-range cruise missile," White House
spokesman Ari Fleischer quipped.
