Lawmaker drops bombshell: North Korea may have nuclear missiles
CS Monitor ^ | 4/11/13 | Anna Mulrine, Staff writer

Posted on 04/11/2013 5:02:45 PM PDT by Nachum

The results of a classified Defense Intelligence Agency report indicate that “North Korea now has nuclear weapons capable of delivery by ballistic missiles.”

That was the bombshell out of a House Armed Services Committee hearing Thursday.

It came when Rep. Doug Lamborn (R) of Colorado began quoting from what he said was an unclassified version of the DIA report, which has not yet been made public.

turned the intel community into a sewer

I actually would like to interject a bit of truth ... the intel community has always been and will always be a sewer. It is the nature of the beast that is the intel community. There have been efforts to change and modify that fact for forever, but to extract information, to classify information, to find out if the information is accurate or inaccurate even those looking to be honest and truthful deal with a beast is a beast is a beast.

Just take out San Francisco and Pelosi will never win again, Feinstein and Boxer would most likely never run again.

What this MEANS is that Team Obama was LYING about the NORKS nuclear capabilities!

But the slavish media won't emphasize that fact.

Yes.

Moreover, Obama wants us to get hit.

How else to explain that fact that he wants us to unilaterally disarm?

“That picture..... Looks like Frank Marshall Davis!”

His physique is similar to his white grandfather, but you’re right in the picture above, his face is more puffy than usual and he looks more like Frank Marshall Davis.

“Pentagon spokesman George Little also issued a statement Thursday in response to the developments on Capitol Hill.

“In today’s House Armed Services Committee hearing on the Department of Defense budget, a member of the committee read an unclassified passage in a classified report on North Korea’s nuclear capabilities,” he said.

“While I cannot speak to all the details of a report that is classified in its entirety, it would be inaccurate to suggest that the North Korean regime has fully tested, developed, or demonstrated the kinds of nuclear capabilities referenced in the passage,” Little said.

“The United States continues to closely monitor the North Korean nuclear program and calls upon North Korea to honor its international obligations.”

In South Korea, the semi-official news agency Yonhap headlined its story on the reported DIA assessment, “N. Korea knows how to miniaturize nuclear bombs, U.S. military agency says.”

South Korean defense ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok also called the assessment into doubt.

“North Korea has conducted three nuclear tests, but it is still doubtful that North Korea has made a small, light warhead that can be mounted on a missile,” he told a briefing.

“North Korea now has nuclear weapons capable of delivery by ballistic missiles.”

Yet another item that Barack Hussein Soetoro Obama can now add to his already ominous presidential legacy. Nothing like keeping us and our allies safer by allowing our sworn enemies to obtain nuclear weapons while dismantling our own missile defense systems and slashing our defense budget. But, hey, at least we can all take comfort that he’s helped make our military so much more gay-friendly now and that’s what really matters, right?

The Obama “presidency” is destined to go down as a s**t stain in American history.

Haven’t we all been assuming they have a medium range missile that could carry a nuke?

No. The assumption was that they were working toward that goal.
