One of my *new* theories is that NK told the US about the shipment, since NK has to keep face, and wanted to get paid by Syria/Iran, and since they did tell, Bush is now rewarding them for the heads-up.

That's about the only way I can explain the Bush-Rice lunacy in dealing with NK.

Could have been a faction inside the NK government...Kim from the looks of him in recent photos is not long for this earth....that faction could have told us about it...to save its neck if and when the regime FALLS.

So...why did the US require Israel to get a 'sample' as proof before 'approving' an air strike if we already knew about it?
