North Korea has been using Russian technology to develop a ballistic missile that could theoretically strike anywhere in the US, the Associated Press reported, citing a Bush Admistration official.

The potential range of the missile is 9,400 miles, AP said, citing the unidentifed offical. The distance between Pyonyang the North Korean capital and San Francisco is about 5,500 miles, the AP reported.

I'd be more inclined to believe that they got it from Clinton, via China.

Cold War II? How about the 2nd front of WW3. We are at war, it is a world war, and N. Korea is playing the role quite eerily similar to Japan's in WW2. Bellicose Asian country with a nationalistic, resource-starved populace who is now an even greater threat to bring about a 2nd Pearl Harbor on the USA.

Good summary, Jon. Its the truth.

I hope more people begin to realize it and take it seriously. If they dont, one day either ten months or ten years from now, we will be in for one heck of a surprise.

Russian missile technology is at least as good as ours (US), and in many cases better. Don't underestimate them.

The Russians are still developing and deploying new ICBM systems while we work on the ABM system.

Disagree with you. They talk big. They brag. They themselves say that they lie as a part of their culture because they were used to seeing items in tv store ads on a daily basis eg washing machines; but none were ever available to them. "It was all a lie."

WRT science and tech, no take tech first, they lie thru their teeth even after one has seen that their claimed tech does not exist as advertised or at all; in ideas, they sell a lot of bogus ideas to our ever dreaming defense industry .gov's. What happened to LM and Russia's Proton company and many many more endeavors? Unfortunately, almost any bozo can do a quick and dirty missile or worse, very unsophisticated, very lethal.

It is true that we paid them to throw out trash nuk devices and develop new ones, thanks to nunn lugar...

The Left considers the basic security of the United States of America to be a form of war crime.

The Left considers the existence of even a single free American to be an intolerable injustice.

You have captured the left perfectly. When I hear the rhetoric from those on the left I truly believe they are deluding themselves, ofttimes on purpose rather than face the truth about their side.

You may want to look at the Breaking News section (10-3-03) under subject regarding UK uncovering Iraq's secret agreement with No. Korea involving WMD importation, etc..

Apparently, NK and Iraq were buds. As I stated before, the US' attack came at the right time or Iraq would be another No. Norean problem.

Now, the question remains: How do we solve the Korean problem?
