The reply is, "We certainly are....."
Isn't that strange. It would seem that they would deny it and then to scare the hell out of the world set one off.
Or just announce they have them and say if you don't like it we are willing to play nuclear missiles at 4,000 miles. After all it was just a couple of years ago they demonstrated their long range intercontinental missiles. We know they have the missiles for delivery. We tracked their tests of ICBMs. The word then was "no sweat they don't have nukes... Clinton fixed it so they don't have Nukes". It looks like he certainly fixed us.
I think it is possible this is Korean blackmail. I certainly hope so. "Yes we broke our word. But if you want us to stop it is going to cost you." We can only hope that is their game. It seems to me the Koreans are playing, "What will you pay us to stop trying to make atomic weapons?"
The entire question hinges on Do they already have atomic weapons. If they do our failure to do star wars may have been the biggest mistake in our nations short history.
Otherwise in a few centuries historians may ask, "How many dead Americans did Bill Clinton cause?" I hope the answer is not "All of them."
Do either of you see them launching a missile at South Korea??
They could tell the South to surrender or else.......wow!
