Speaking to the media Thursday, South Korean defense chief Yoon Kwang-ung asserted there was no longer any doubt that North Korea had "one or two" nuclear weapons. There's also growing evidence, he said, that North Korea is readying its first nuclear weapons test.
As we now know, the North Koreans — right after agreeing with Clinton's special envoy Jimmy Carter to end their nuclear program in exchange for billions in aid and access to commercial nuclear technology — began cheating. Such was their contempt for Clinton, for Carter and for America's resolve to stop them. We talked, they built.
Today, North Korea has a weapon with which to threaten us and our allies — a weapon it should not have. And its Taepodong-2 missile potentially puts the weapon in range of the West Coast.
As we noted last week, a new report from the House Committee on Intelligence is sounding the alarm over the Iran threat. "Iran's support of radical Islamists with weapons and money demonstrates in real terms the danger it poses to America and our allies," said the committee's chairman, Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich.
The report (at http://intelligence.house.gov/Media/PDFS/IranReport082206v2.pdf) is sobering. It outlines what we know of Iran's efforts to build a nuclear weapon — and the sophisticated missiles it's building to deliver them.

And we still will do that, contrary to what Ahmadinejad thinks. Saddam didn't think we will really invade either.
But the liberals think these twits were great statesmen. Turns out they were gullible stooges.
The Rapist sent the peanut farming coward out to Korea and look what we got.

The State Department has declared Cuba a state sponsor of terror. The Castro regime has extensive ties to Hezbollah, the Iranian regime and the Colombian narcoguerrillas, providing training, finance and safe haven.
• Cuba's had considerable intersection with weapons of mass destruction. In 2002 testimony to the Senate, the State Department's assistant secretary for intelligence and research, Carl Ford, said: "Cuba has provided dual-use technology to rogue states. Such technology could support bioweapons programs in those states."
Chavez (Venezuela)has made Iran his closest ally outside Cuba, visiting the ruling mullahs five times in seven years and introducing anti-Semitism into his diatribes. Trade between the regimes has expanded to more than $1 billion from virtually nothing a few years ago.

We need to wake up JFK, roll him off Marilyn, so he could address this situation.
If this nation ever had the gonads to enforce it's treason laws, those two wastes of oxygen would be hung in tandem.
If they dropped it on themselves they wouldn't notice much difference in most cities over there. The result of a socialist, communist utopia. What the liberals in our country have in store for us if we don't stop their madness!!
Now that's a legacy!

The United States (Bush administration) needs to adopt a simple solution to North Korea's ability to produce fuel for nuclear weapons.
The answer:
Give North Korea the shortest necessary time to shut it's nuclear reactor down, remove all fuel rods and other equipment it doesn't want destroyed.
Thereafter, the United States should destroy the reactor.
North Korea's alternative: It will have it's own smaller Chernobyl.
