(2nd LD) S. Korea joins PSI after N. Korea's nuke test
By Lee Chi-dong
SEOUL, May 26 (Yonhap) -- South Korea on Tuesday declared full participation in the U.S.-led campaign aimed at curbing the spread of the weapons of mass destruction and related materials, a day after North Korea conducted its second nuclear test.
South Korea made the decision to join the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) following the North's April 5 rocket launch, but it had delayed a formal announcement in consideration of its efforts to resume dialogue with the communist neighbor. Government officials said there was no reason to wait any longer as North Korea carried out another nuclear experiment on Monday.

Weapons of mass destruction? C’mon it's all a CIA lie and Obama is using this for political purposes. We need to send in some inspectors to verify all this!

Wonder how long before Seoul and Tokyo now decide they need nukes?
If and when they do, how many screwdrivers total, will be required to achieve that change?
In how many minutes?
To: TigerLikesRooster; All
Has the size of the bomb been determined?
