Reports from Seoul Korea, (daily newspaper Joongang Ilbo in Seoul) via the Japanese Jiji press agency, that South Korean intelligence has intercepted radio messages/communications in North Korea, which were aired last month, to civilians in the Kilju County, Northern Hamgyeong Province area of northeastern D.P.R.K., to evacuate.
The source in the South Korean government said "our interpretation is that following North Korea's underground nuclear blast test, they wish to head off any escape of radiation that would be a threat to the nearby civilian population and are evacuating as such."

What do you think would be the last straw? We've been awfully patient. Enough is enough.

not good. the missile tests were to show the iranians in attendance that they worked. and now they are demonstrating the warhead for them too? That's my guess too.

I'm sorry, I just cannot buy into this bogus story at all. Why would the "Dear Leader" be concerned with the environment enough to dig a hole to throw his bomb down in the first place? Does everybody think this guy is a Sierra Clubber, or something?
He lets his people starve to death, yet you all believe he's somehow worried about a little leaking radiation hurting the general population? You've got to be kidding!!! This is a complete farce!!!

Since when did North Korea care about the welfare of its citizens? They don't - they probably don't want the "riff-raff" messing up the show.

"Like I Said its all about that Happy Meal"
About a thousand times you said it. Let it go :)
And I think you're terribly mistaken. They're going to test it. What happens after that is anybody's guess, but I don't see food payoffs as a big possibility.
Lots of chess pieces in play all over the world, it seems. Interesting times.
