I would like to take a moment to ask for donations.
It should be clear to all conservatives by now that the left intends to demonize us. They don't just disagree with us, they hate us. And worse, they want to get other people to hate us.
Places like Free Republic drive the left batty.
Please donate. Thanks for your consideration.

Glad to see our President is still making empty threats. What are we waiting for? What will it take? Can anybody answer me?

AP continued -
Accusing the United States of taking a "hostile policy" toward the North, the statement said that North Korea "made a switchover in the use of plutonium churned out by reprocessing spent fuel rods in the direction increasing its nuclear deterrent force." North Korea also said it will reprocess more spent fuel rods to be produced from the small reactor in its main nuclear complex in Yongbyon, north of Pyongyang.

Reagan would say "The bombing starts in five minutes." And mean it.
Time for Kim Il Jong to join his daddy. Then maybe a whole generation of starving NK children would have a chance at life.

I wonder why, Korea would be telling us this information? I think they are scared that they will be the next one to be invaded. If North Korea had any logic, they would know that Russia, and China, don't wish to have a war at its borders. They would also realize that the USA could care less about them. They are like a bad child that begs for attention or a spanking. Maybe they would like a time out.
The region is heating up. The United States will spend $11 billion for its upgrade of its armed forces in South Korea, including the installation of a new state-of-the-art Patriot missile-defense system. It also spearheaded a multinational military exercise this month to practice intercepting North Korean ships at sea.

Boy, this has been a most interesting news day at FR...it reminds me of Election 2000 for some reason, with the controversy (Rush's resignation), anticipation (waiting for confirmation on the Kuwait intercepting biological weapons story), mudslinging (Arnold groping, Rush popping pills), and now this story, a story which encapsulates WHY the 2000 Election outcome was so important to the nation.

Anyone get the impression that the NK's and the RATS are working together to destroy the USA?

AP continued -
Earlier this week, North Korea claimed that it was taking "practical measures" to boost its nuclear weapons program as a deterrent against what it calls a U.S. plan to invade. The claim came as some U.S. intelligence analysts are becoming increasingly concerned that the communist regime may have three, four or even six nuclear weapons instead of the one or two the CIA had estimated.
New atomic bombs would give Pyongyang more authority at the negotiating table, and may allow it to part with one, either in a test or by selling it, experts say.
The United States and its allies are trying to persuade North Korea to give up its nuclear programs. The North says it will do so only if the United States signs a nonaggression treaty, provides economic aid and opens diplomatic ties.
The nuclear dispute flared in October 2002 when U.S. officials said North Korea admitted running a secret nuclear weapons program in violation of international agreements.

I think a good way of getting their attention would be to have a B2 drop five or six bright orange GPS-guided paint bombs right onto the reactor building and snap a few high-resolution color photos to bring to the U.N.
