"Getting Tough - Great News"

====

I love it when we are getting tough!

With all the flap about Iraq's missing WMD, the media is pretty much ignoring that the intel info about N. Korea UNDERESTIMATED their nuclear capability development.

"A key covert North Korean nuclear program may be more advanced than the United States had believed, US Assistant Secretary of State James Kelly has said, citing a recent confession by a Pakistani scientist that he sold nuclear technology to Pyongyang.

"... the recent confession of Pakistan's A Q Khan suggests that if anything, the North Korean HEU [highly enriched uranium] program is of longer duration and more advanced than we had assessed," Mr Kelly said. "

In these areas, you can't take chances, you always need to err on the side of caution, and we better not wait, until Iran gets as advanced as N. Korea, or it will try to dominate the entire ME.

Unfortunately, this seems to be the speculation with Iran also. There are serious questions being raised about whether Iran has secret uranium enrichment facility. I believe there was an article yesterday.
