U.S.: Blast Consistent with N.Korea Explanation
Tue Sep 14, 2004 11:51 AM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - North Korea's explanation that a blast last week was demolition work for a power project rather than a nuclear explosion squared with what Washington saw, Secretary of State Colin Powell said Tuesday. The U.S. assessment should help quell speculation the blast was related to military activity in the reclusive state as has been widely discussed among analysts and the media in neighboring South Korea.
"The information they gave is consistent with what we saw, that it might have been demolition work for a hydroelectric facility," Powell told Reuters.
Powell Sunday said the blast was probably not a nuclear test but had made no comment on Pyongyang's explanation.
The United States is leading international talks with the unpredictable, communist nation to dismantle its suspected nuclear weapons programs.
But the negotiations have made little progress and some critics of the U.S. policy believe North Korea has been using the time to build up a nuclear arsenal and could be set to conduct tests.
Ping!
Let's wait and see what Dan Rather has to say about it, he always tells the truth.
I think we will see soon a crater for a new dam in the Pankisi Valley, Georgia
Good question. Possibly feasible, but I thought that it occurred nearly at the border of China...
Powell Sunday said the blast was probably not a nuclear test...
"Probably" is probably a weasle-word. ;)
If the administration knew something more along the lines of Nuclear, would they be trying to quell that rumour? Hmmm
"The information they gave is consistent with what we saw"
Saw? Where? And how about the 2nd blast?
Could it be consistent with anything else?
I heard there were 3 explosions. the third explosion was the following day.
Would we admit that they tested an a-bomb, if in fact they had? It certainly would make it more difficult to disuade the Japanese, South Koreans, and Taiwanese from testing a bomb.
"I heard there were 3 explosions. the third explosion was the following day."
Oh? Am I missing one? Got a link?
Tiger, 3 explosions?
"...the blast was probably not a nuclear test but had made no comment on Pyongyang's explanation. In other news from pyongyang...Ko Yong-hee is still dead...no further comment is expected at this time...and in sports..."
How this thread become explosioin to SNL Skit
Poor Kim Yong Lee is turn into Franco is dead reset LOL!
"...and back to you Lil' Kim!"
Demolition never makes mushroom clouds. In order to make a mushroom cloud you need to have the explosives blow up on the surface so that it releases its heat in the air.
In order to do demolition you need to bury the explosive, or pack inert materials around it against the object you wish to blow to prevent the explosive from venting its force into the air instead of onto the object you wish to break.
This story is pure BS, a political coverup of another NK oops. My guess is that NK just lost an ammo dump with someone helping the accident to happen. Both times this has happened, it has been close to the Chinese border, not the SK border. Pure co-inky-dink.
China it seems has 'strained' relations with Kim.
Ping
It was a flashlight
