I watch our Commander in Chief..he will do anything and everything to protect this country.

What...do you think the media is controlling our military now?....LOL.. Have faith!

I left the room for a minute. Was he well informed?

[oceanview]

no way. if we blockade NK, and they send a 1 million man army south - what do we do next? we can't stop that kind of invasion with conventional weapons.

[potlatch]

And you are well prepared.

South Korean stocks plunged Monday following North Korea's announcement that it conducted a nuclear test.

The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index, or Kospi, fell as low as 1,303.62, off 3.6 percent, after North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency said the underground test was performed successfully.

The Kospi was trading 2.9 percent lower at 1,316.57 around 12:50 p.m. (0350 GMT).

What would you have done differently from Bush?

[gipper81]

Bush deserves to be bashed on this, granted the Democrats will be selective and ignore Clinton's role, but Bush dropped the ball bigtime.

The ball dropped on your head a long, long time ago.

I hope the MSM covers that 'bribe' to Bill Clinton tomorrow. After all, Clinton was SO PROUD that he received that PROMISE from Kim Jong-Il in 1994--in exchange for the nuclear reactor and all that money we gave them.

As John Bolton told John Kerry---North Korea started violating that PROMISE to Clinton the very next day!!

Thanks, Slick--add this one to your precious legacy!!

the date, 10/8, has some importance to Kim's father. that's why they set if off today.

Do we have to worry about the 12th Imam from N Korea too? They're all nuts.

How are you? hey Coast to Coast will be jammimg tonight the MoonBats will be comeing out of the wood work

Uh...you don't get fallout from an underground test...

Well you aren't supposed to. But Shiite happens, even with US underground tests.

Hard to infer yield from seismic magnitude, since it depends on how well the energy of the bomb couples into the local geological strata.

CNN North korea confirms...
3.5 "qauke" measured at test site
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now it is 4.6 magnitude.
Yikes...what is in the air now>

[CougarGA7]

Does it? I think there would be dependicies on the strata that it was set off in that would make the seismic reading a poor indicator of the size of the device.

[RedCell]

You bet it does.

[Txsleuth]

Mark Kirk kept saying over and over that N. Korea had "humiliated" China..by doing this...since China had warned them just yesterday NOT to do it.

The little kid kicking sand in the big bullie's face??

[Jewels1091]

china isn't going to be happy...they are the only country that is giving what food they get...i don't think china is going to help them out anymore..

[endthematrix]

Well? Are you going to answer the questions?

[blam]

Send all that over to Rush's site.
