N Korea says it blew up mountain

North Korea has given an explanation for the huge blast last Thursday which prompted speculation that it was a part of a nuclear test.

The country's foreign minister, Paek Nam Sun, said the blast was the deliberate demolition of a mountain as part of a hydro-electric project.

His remarks were in response to a call for information by the visiting UK Foreign Office minister, Bill Rammell.

North Korea had said absolutely nothing about the incident until now.

If nothing else Dan Ra^ther has taught us the many possibilities of ^{superscripting}! :) Can _subscripting be far behind? ;)

[ASA Vet]

And of course there's always the invisible script.

[hiredhand]

Ah yes! They pray to the rocks, even though they KNOW the source of this wrath.

...just like a liberal. Yes...a very ugly mountain.

[JesseHousman]

These North Koreans are like all our enemies: more than a little crazy!

[Quicksilver]

I think the term for that is "nuance."

[ASA Vet]

I prefer your term, and henceforth have stolen your idea.

Kim Jong-Mentally F*** Up and his stupid Commie goons are at it again. Well, why would they need that much explosives to make a dam? If you place the dynamite correctly, it would not create that much mushroom clouds. Stupid commie bastards. THERE ARE ALL CRIMINALS!!!!! THEY CAN ALL GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!!! By the way, I am a first generation America, who is Korean.

Notra Trulock, Code Name Kindred Spirit, lays out the Moler-Berger-Clinton cover for Wen Ho Lee's theft of our warhead data.

A person involved in current activities remarked, "It isn't what they got from us which is important. It's what we have that they don't know about."

They laughed at SDI as "Star Wars"--it's the Gipper's turn to laugh.

Go ahead, Khamenei, make my day.

Shhhhh!

The other interesting item is that state dept. spokesman who said it might have been a forest fire. Well, we had to say something, but it seems to have been with tongue in cheek. We want NK and Iran and every other bad guy on the block to shake in their boots. I can hear our Euroweenie 'allies' now, America, the 'rogue' nation. Yesterday they were whining about Iran's thumbing its nose at the IAEA, and in the event, guess who'd have to enforce whatever lame resolution they came up with. Then there's Kerry, calling up the NYTimes and yelling that GW hasn't paid enough attention to NK. Maybe he'll change the subject back to health care.
