North Korea Will Nuke American Cities if Provoked

---

Korea WebWeekly (May 03, 2003) -- Dr. Kim Myong Chul, Japanese-borne expert on North Korea's military has stated in the past that North Korea has more than 100 nukes, including hydrogen bombs.  In a series of statements recently, Dr. Kim asserts that the nukes will strike American cities if the Bush administration imposes economic sanctions or other hostile moves against North Korea.

In sharp contrast with his past practices, Dr. Kim states that he is speaking for North Korea: he is relaying North Korea's official message to the Bush administration.  During the last meeting of North Korean and American officials in Beijing, the North Korea's chief delegate told his American counterpart that North Korea had at least one nuke.  The US CIA estimates that North 'may have one or two crude nuclear devices.'  

Dr. Kim states that the nukes were built in the 1980's before North Korea signed the Agreed Framework in 1994. It is likely that the US CIA knew about North Korea's nuclear capability but decided to cover it up with its persistent "North Korea may have 1-2 crude devices."  It should be recalled that the US CIA failed to predict the Korean War of 1950 and also the intervention of Chinese forces.  The failure was due to not any lack of intelligence but incorrect analysis of the mountain of intelligence.  

Dr. Kim stated that North Korea's technical capacity of delivering nuclear weapons on missiles was proven by Pakistan's nuclear tests and missile test-fires.  Pakistan claims that it has developed its nukes and missiles on its own.  The bottom-line is that neither North nor Pakistan has violated any international agreements.

US Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld believes North Korea does not have the capability to strike American cities and North Korea is bluffing.  Dr. Kim believes that North Korea will demonstrate its capacity to strike America: it may conduct a series of nuclear explosions and test-fire an ICBM over the US homeland.  The US CIA claims that North Korea's ICBM, Taepodong II, failed in its maiden test and that North Korea's ICBM test site was destroyed in a failed engine test. Recently, the warhead of North Korea's 'failed' ICBM was discovered in Alaska. 

The US hawks led by Rumsfeld believe that Kim Jong Il and Saddam Hussein are cut from the same cloth and that Kim will go the way of Saddam.  It should be noted that when the chips were down, Saddam's 'supporters' deserted his sinking ship and few Iraqis opted to die for him.  The fact of the matter is that the great majority of Saddam's supporters were opportunists and sycophants out to make a fast buck using Saddam's name.  Rumsfeld is convinced that few of Kim's supporters will die for him and that shake Kim's regime a little and he will be gone.

Dr. Kim asserts that Kim Jong Il is no Saddam and that North Korea's military and people will fight to the end and die for Kim; and that unlike Iraq, North Korea does have the military capability and the will to inflict fatal blows not only to the US bases in Japan, Okinawa, and Guam, but also the US homeland.   According to Dr. Kim, North Korea will demonstrate its military capability to hit the US homeland in the very near future.

Another piece of Bill Clinton's stained legacy.

They're going to nuke Hollywood? No, no, no! What disaster!

Is it a coincidence that the most wayward, messed up, liberal state is right by our two biggest enemies in the near future? China and North Korea.

test-fire an ICBM over the US homeland.

We could save the North Koreans a whole lot of pain by telling them now that test firing an ICBM over US territory would be a very big mistake.

Thank you Jimmy Carter! By the way, JC, would like to see that Nobel returned due to your imcompetence. Thank you Billy Bubba Clintoon! This is something that can be laid at each of your doors, you miserable piece of American RAT trash.

Whether or not the warhead was inert, wouldn't this be an act of war?

That's right, the Korean's are distributing millions of Microwave ovens to the citizens of The United States of America in hopes they will nuke their meat and vegetables!

BWWAAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAA

Can we give the NKs the GPS coordinates of Portland, OR, Berkely, CA, and San Francisco, CA? I mean I would hate to lose any American city, but if we are going to lose any we might as well lose the ones that facilitated NK getting nukes by giving Mr. Bill political cover.

"Dr. Kim believes that North Korea will demonstrate its capacity to strike America: it may conduct a series of nuclear explosions and test-fire an ICBM over the US homeland."

On the other side of this belief is the American response of TAD of NK. There is no proven method to pre-determine a "test-fire" from an actual attack, which could provoke a response NK can't afford to gamble with. Fools....

North Korea is obviously the national version of a mad dog. Time to kill it.

[Capitalism2003]

I bet we've been itching to test our newest weapons, but can't find a suitable testing site for a 500 mile shock wave...looks like N. Korea will fit the bill nicely. :)

They think we haven't the belly for it.

Will you indeed, Mr. Torrance? I wonder. I have my doubts. I and others have come to believe that your heart is not in this, that you haven't the belly for it.

This guy is a madman. Even Russia and China were not stupid enough to want to obliterate their own countries.

What is the source of that quote?

"The fact of the matter is that the great majority of Saddam's supporters were opportunists and sycophants out to make a fast buck using Saddam's name."

I could be wrong, but that usually happens when a dictator's "loyal subjects" are held in line by the fork-and-bowl method - especially if they KNOW what else is cooking in the kitchen.
