North Korea Officially Declares Itself a Nuclear Power (U.S. Official Confirms N.K. Nuclear Test)

[Lunatic Fringe]

Just reported on CNN via South Korea television news.

"Lock phasers on target; set to liquify..."

We must act decisively within 24 hours.

Like what do you suggest?

LOL! We can barely handle the monkeymen of the Middle East.

[Joe Bfstplk]

You can thank Clinton and Albright for this one.

Their bomb is too big to fit on their missiles. It will be many years before they are able to miniaturize enough to put a nuke on a missile. Their only possible means of delivery at the moment is by boat or plane, either one of which is certain to be intercepted leaving their nuke and incontrovertible evidence in the hands of those they intended to attack.

There was no tsumami either

It is series. The stock market will crash. Are we just going to take this? We must act decisively within 24 hours. Japan will need nukes quickly.

Take a deep breath Suzy, it's ok.

The stock market is NOT going to crash, and Japan does not need nukes any faster than they needed them 24 hours ago. There is STILL no independent verification of this so-called "test" based on legitimate seismic data, so this may be nothing but a damn bluff.

If the United States goes totally apesh*t over nothing but a North Korean press release, it means that Comrade Chia Pet gets the upper hand.

Keep your powder dry my FRiend! ;)

We will do nothing. Bush once said we would not tolerate a nuclear nk. Silence of late. Bush once said the world will not tolerate a nuclear Iran, now we want them to have a nuclear program just not a bomb. The old kick the can down the road. We will do nothing.

[Nachoman]

Do new members to the nuclear club receive flowers or a fruit basket?

[NickatNite2003]

In less than a year, Japan will have as many
nukes as NK now claims///In two years, they'll
have 4 timers as many abd the'll be
sophisticated enough to use as missle warheads.

Japan has the science, the industry, and the
nuke plants, and now they have a threat against
them that merits changing their minds about
not building them.

South Korea won't be far behind.

Am not so sure that China disapproves of NoKo's thuggery. It might have started off as a clever ploy to constrains US influence in the region but might well backfire on the chicoms.

[Texas Songwriter]

China does not want to go war with North Korea. Kim will being auctioning nuclear devices to the highest bidding terrorist organization. Then the terrorist organization will do what they do. It is a frickin nightmare in the makeing. South Korea, Japan, Indonesia will have to go nuclear. It will spiral out of control.

[A6M3]

Now Japan has to go ahead with its invasion plans before North Korea develops a delivery system.

[Mo1]

We can thanks Carter and Clinton for this and their agrement with North Korea

[Texas Songwriter]

They are wickedly beautiful, aren't they?

[elhombrelibre]

This may lead to a war with North Korea. We cannot allow North Korea to continue in this direction, especially since it will likely sell nukes to the highest bidder.

If I were her, I'd start drinking heavily now.

Did they have folk dancing at their press conference like the Iranians did? If they didn't have folk dancing, it couldn't have been much of a press conference.
