You can't make a very small plutonium bomb without big-time knowledge and processes. Who is to say that Kim doesn't have that at his disposal? Not everyone starts from scratch on these things. There are plenty of other countries that would love the data from such a test but for political reasons cannot conduct one on their own. Even Kim's nearby benefactors could have ben involved.
Consider, too, that the first test could have been a smashing success (npi) and that further tests are unnecessary. Why not be magnaminous in that case and play the "look, he apologized ... what a guy!" game the press and Europe seems to lap up?

My first thought to hearing this was that the Chicoms put a gun to his head and told him what to say. Wish I could have heard that conversation.

my parents forced me to say sorry many times as a child.
I rarely meant it.

I think you may have a point there.

I like the way you think.

Coercion can get us to do a lot of things we don't mean.

I think your assessment is far to distant. I believe that tensions and pushing the envelope will escalate during the next Democratic administration. Taiwan will be a target; those islands with all of the oil and just south in the area of Malaysia will be the test points.
To: MARKUSPRIME
You know how I'd end this...I'd take 1000 of our 20,000 or so nukes...put 250 on the Island of Japan, 250 in South Korea, 250 on the Island of Taiwan, and 250 in Georgia (the country not the state for those of you in Rio-linda). Then I would send a letter to the ChiChoms, Putin, and "Little Kim" with nothing but a smiley face in front of a nuclear explosion - "Have a nice day!"
To: psychopuppy
"Kim also expressed regret about his country's nuclear test to the delegation and said Pyongyang would return to nuclear talks...
Bush should immediately call a press conference to point out that the approach the administration has taken thus far is a fruitful one and that 1 on 1 talks would have NOT brought about the actions we see today from the Gargoyle.

Could be, but I doubt Kim actually knows much about military matters and it was his Army Generals who wanted the test. He should go much farther now and throw open the borders to let American capitalists in to develop his miserable country.

If he regrets the first one, he's going to really learn the definition of regret if and when he detonates a second one.

The NK recipe for success:
Test Nuke so Iran can see what they'll be buying.
Get sanctioned as a result
Express regret to eliminate sanctions
Sell Nukes to Iran
Watch the $$$$ roll in

Obviously, something went terribly wrong with the first test.
