It is too late because IF North Korea has nukes then no doubt Japan and other countries will have to go nuclear. YAY another arms race. JUST what this world needs.

You are nuts if you think this isn't a big deal.

Yep. If it were up to the democratic party we'd have no defense whatsoever.

Still no hard confirmation.

Wouldn't rule out a squib.

-Amazing- lack of coverage by the MSM!

The normally tape delayed Drudge Report went live at the top of the hour with Bill Gertz being interviewed by Drudge....

A comparison of a nuke and earthquake.

No, it's not confirmed. The USGS said that even a succesful might not register if it was small enough, so unfortunately, we don't know for sure. It's interesting that one article quotes a South Korean official as saying that that they did register a roughly 3.5 tremor after the announcement.

Yes, a thermonuclear explosion has a signature, but with a weak one in solid Korean rock, I'm not so sure they can decipher the difference.

USGS will not post a nuke event on their page...only quakes. They have pulled non quakes before.

North Korea will soon be selling their bombs to anyone who will pay the price. Good news!

History upon us. It is now a race between North Korea and the world. Do we act or not act?

I'm not sure what else Bush could have done. The Clinton admin helped NK along. Our approach was to use the 5 way talks. If the world couldn't pressure NK then they were going to build them anyway.

The concern now is to find ways to ensure this unstable government doesn't launder the weapons through terrorists. So that will be the focus now.

How long until Iran will be testing their bomb upon Israel?

These people are nuts. How can the world be held hostage by a few nut cases? Out of the billions of people...we have to worry about two or three?

It is insane.

There's precisely zero chance that the first NK nuclear test would have been a thermonuclear device.
