Un propagandista del Régimen de Pyongyang afirmó hoy domingo que Corea del Norte posee al menos 100 misiles nucleares apuntando hacia a Estados Unidos, que serían utilizados si al país asiático le son impuestas sanciones económicas. El director ejecutivo del centro para la paz coreana-estadounidense, Kim Myong Chol, declaró al canal de televisión australiana ´Channel Nine´ que está "claro" que Corea del Norte posee "por lo menos 100 ojivas nucleares y 300 como máximo". "Todas están dirigidas hacia ciudades estadounidenses", agregó.

Como "portavoz oficial de Corea del Norte" Kim aceptó realizar esta entrevista para la televisión australiana desde un país extranjero, sin conocerse donde se llevó a cabo. El "portavoz" aseguró que la tecnología nuclear utilizada para producir las ojivas fue probada en Pakistán y que las armas se fabricaron antes de que el Gobierno de Pyongyang firmara el acuerdo de no proliferación nuclear.

Time to send a team of triplets in to assassinate Kim Jong Ill in the Head (see numerous prior threads re: the doofus' fear that a triplet will kill him)...

Need I ask what Kim's position is on cloning?

For some reason I find that number a little hard to fathom. If they had a hundred missiles they would be selling them to the middle east just to get enough food to eat. Besides, what fuel are they going to put in their missiles to launch them. They probably don't have anything stronger than high explosives, at best. And without the fuel, black powder won't get them across the Pacific. It won't get enough of it off the pad to do any good. (And for you jet buffs, neither will JP-4)

Quit being so series. They don't target comrades.

[Joe Hadenuf]

They don't target comrades.

Lucky for you.....

[VRWC For Truth]

Now who's being the idiot. Get a life and a sense of humor.

Separated at birth?

The furthest any of those missiles could possibly get is Alaska, whereas we have currently orbiting 747's equipped with the new high speed killer laser, it can actually knock out arty rounds. Its new but supposedly it can take out satellites in low orbit and incoming ICBM's.

I saw two of the aircraft flying over Anchorage yesterday on my way to see X-Men 2. They sure were'nt Quantas!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

LOL!

"They will be roasted in their stomachs on the walls of Pyongyang...we will surround them in their tanks...they are stupid."

However retrograde the North Korean government is, they do have a web site for their propaganda. Today, the lead story is "S Korean Students stage anti-war struggle".

I wouldn't take this statement seriously until it's on the official site. Until then, it seems like a "plausibly deniable" trial balloon.

That being said, if their missile technology is similar to Soviet missiles, it's probably not terribly accurate. If a North Korean missile is aimed at Anchorage, the odds are pretty good it will wind up in the ocean someplace or maybe in Russia.

Maybe they have 300 missiles because they think at least one will hit? I wonder what the odds are, and a lot of them would hit Russia then.

Talk about an international incident!

No. Paulie Taglia from Crime Story.

[RightWhale]

They certainly didn't test any

Maybe they did, in Pakistan. Their ICBM has been testflown. However, the missile has not been flown enough times to know what the reliability of the upper stage might be, nor what the aiming error, measured in CEP, Circular Error Probability, might be. In other words, the warheads could land anywhere. The ones that actually detonated would be more likely to light up sagebrush, prairie dogs, and ocean foam than inhabited towns.

Can someone tell me why we are trying to deal with North Korea "diplomatically" and not attacking them like Iraq?

[rs79bm]

I guess North Korea is just plain stupid.

[MightyMouseToSaveThe Day]

Is that like going "bi-coastal"?

[Sloth]

Not only 100 missiles, but North Korea has apparently gone bilingual!

They struck an immigration deal with Vicente Fox.

[Dr Warmoose]

"When's the last time that NK successfully conducted an ICBM test?" Never I believe....

Actually, the North Koreans have already hit the United States with a missle, and our government has turned a blind eye to it.

[Centurion2000]

bump .... nk is really wanting to get glassed.

[FairOpinion]

Here is the same news from another source. Clearly N. Korea actually did say it.
---
SYDNEY: North Korea has at least 100 nuclear missiles aimed at the United States and will use them if new economic sanctions are imposed against it, a North Korean propagandist claimed Sunday.

Kim Myong Chol, who styles himself executive director of the Centre for Korea-American Peace, told an Australian channel that North Korea may have minimum 100 nuclear warheads, maximum 300.

He claimed the nuclear technology used to produce the missiles had been tested in Pakistan and the weapons had been made before Pyongyang's non-proliferation agreement with the administration of former US president Bill Clinton in 1994.
