Not any more.
just for the record the US should state how many nukes we currently have targeted on North Korea
It may give them cause for pause.....
Deeply buried weapons facilities are politically easier to destroy. That is the point of the new generation of burrowing tactical nuclear weapons. These precision munitions are designed to penetrate 100s of meters into the ground before detonating. Underground detonations destroy buried facilities with a minimal amount of destruction to surface structures (presumably civilian) and with a minimal release of radiation into the atmosphere. Looks like the enemy is playing right into our hands.
he he he.
Color me unsurprised by this development.
Vague memories of an axis of evil. . .ah hah, these are the two remaining axholes.
WWJKD? Why, John Kerry would offer to give them nuclear fuel--provided the UN approved.
And it was the same John Kerry who warned of the great danger of our developing nuclear bunker busters--
We might wipe out his foreign leader support.
Didn't Bill Richardson fix all that North Korean business? Crisco Kid and the Clinton Copresidency fixed that, didn't they?
Mrs. Clinton's got some 'splainin' to do, provided she can recall.
And the starving public of North Korea are proud of their homelands accomplishments I'm sure.
Oh, and just a reminder, Iraq and Libya can be removed from that list.
Almost makes you with Republicans never got elected.
I'm sure she wouldn't be able to recall, provided the request for 'splainin' were to ever come about....
Thanx for the ping
It would be nice to capture the N. Korean specialists for underground construction. They must know all about underground nuclear facilities in N. Korea. Only if we can get to him.
If both Iranian regime and the N. Korean one go down under Bush's watch, he could make a legitimate case that it is almost as momentous as the fall of Soviet Union.
This coming from the Telegraph, oh the DUmmies are gonna go ape over this lol.
Diggin their graves more like it......
IAEA: Iran Burying Nukes Against Attack (March 4, 2005)
"Iran is using reinforced materials and tunneling deep underground to store nuclear components - measures meant to deter "bunker busters" and other special weapons in case of attack, diplomats said Thursday."
(snip)
"Asked for details on the tunnel, a diplomat familiar with Iran's dossier said parts of it apparently would run as deep as half a mile below ground and would be constructed of hardened concrete and other special materials meant to withstand the severest of air attacks."
DigitalGlobe imagery from 21 July 2004 Construction is proceeding, especially in Zone B of the Technology Center (Note that this facility broke ground in 1995)
These two ticking time bombs need to be defused like real quick, prior to the unthinkable transpiring.
The Telegraph is the conservative paper of the UK.
Reuters asked the [Foreign Ministry] spokesman about the authenticity of a news story in Germany`s Der Spiegel magazine that Iran has been building a secret tunnel under its nuclear installations in Isfahan.
His answer: "Lots of tunnels are being built across the
country nowadays by the Ministry of Roads and Transportation."
He referred to the magazine`s story as quite baseless and
meaningless and said no tunnel of such enormity could ever be built secretly under the watchful eyes of radars.
