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.
In the USA if we lost any City the net result would be an anger sweeping the American people that would result in such an anti-leftist sentiment that the Democat Party might cease to exist. If the city hit were Seattle, San Franciso, or Los Angles the result would also be a complete change in the target states politics forever.
The rest of the world would see a retribution so terrible they would think long and hard before seeking to let the unleashing the nuclear genie at America again.
And thank you Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush who allowed North Korea to build plutonium extraction capabilities, and produce nuclear weapons, as well as long range missile technology, while ignoring IAEA demands for open inspections of nuclear facilities.
Sigh. It's time to put North Korea out of our misery.
I won't speculate of the full consequences, nor can I remotely comprehend the retribution deserved, neither would I trivialize losing 3500 souls and those buildings, but to see the fury in America's "eyes" after 9/11, a whole city lost would mean a definite end to North Korea's existence. As Secretary Rumsfeld would say, "But without question.." this would be their end....
They've not seen mine....
I hope we don't have to find out the hard way.
Holy CRAP! Anyone have any sources for this nugget? If true, this could be incredibly bad...
