Kerry Duped As North Korea And Iran Develop New ICBM
Investor's Business Daily ^ | December 2, 2013 | IBD EDITORIALS

Proliferation: As we shutter our ICBM squadrons and destroy our silos, Iran and North Korea are working on technology to deliver nukes Pyongyang already has and Tehran is a few centrifuge rotations from acquiring.

As Bill Gertz of the Washington Free Beacon reports, groups of technicians from the Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group (SHIG), a unit in charge of building Iran's liquid-fueled missiles, have made repeated trips to North Korea during the past several months, including as recently as late October, to work on a new 80-ton rocket booster being developed by the North Koreans,

That booster is believed to be the foundation for a new heavy-lift missile with intercontinental range and capable of carrying a large nuclear warhead. It would be far more capable than Pyongyang's Taepodong or Iran's Shahab missile series.

The booster was described by one official as a thruster for a "super ICBM" or a heavy-lift space launcher. "It is completely new from what they have done so far," he added.

The blog 38 North, part of the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies, disclosed last month that satellite photos showed an expansion at a North Korean launch site for a larger rocket.

New commercial satellite imagery indicates that North Korea is moving ahead with major construction projects at its Sohae Satellite Launching Station at Tongchang-ri.

Obama’s strategy is to free up billions for Iran to spend.

How does one really think Iran will spend these billions?

Obama thinks like crooked Chicago politician. Specifically if you give someone a large amount of money, they will be “in your pocket” and do what you want them to do.

There is a significant chance Obama’s actions will cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

Once again Kerry is standing with the people who hate the United States.

Isn’t a report that Kerry was duped a ‘dog bites man’ story?

but it is a fantasy that Kerry enjoys.

Sort of like his fantasy of “CHRISTMAS IN CAMBODIA”

This is truly quite an Admin we have elected.
