‘Small tactical nuke’ is exactly what terrorists and Iran want to get their hands on, so it should be of no comfort and with Obama at the helm, things could get very ugly very fast.

He said he stays up late—that’s what he said, and he would have heard about it probably around 9:30 p.m. Eastern tonight, maybe earlier. So I doubt he was asleep. However, were he asleep, I would doubt they would disturb that beauty rest. And /sarc, there is only something like 47,000 American troops here on Japan soil not so far from North Korea. This jerk fiddles while Rome burns if you ask me.

It wouldn’t surprise me to see Japan test a nuke very soon.

They don't have to test anything.. it's our proven design.

It has been said the Japan can have nukes in three weeks.. they only have to assemble the components

They will go forward. This will strengthen the LDP in the summer elections against the JDP. It will also strengthen the current President (moderate conservative) of South Korea, even though he was about to face a firestorm from liberals over the suicide of his predecessor two days ago. Crazy world over here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who’s the source, Debka? NK either did or did not do a nuclear test. If they did, seismographs the world over picked it up. The fact that there’s any question tells me that it didn’t happen, or fizzled.

I suggest you read the whole thread, they set off a Nuke, 4.7 at least, on the Richter scale. The sources are CNN and several other news outlets, plus South Korea and Japan have both confirmed it.

I place a lot of the blame on the general American public honestly. When Bush declare the axis of evil he pointed out to the American public the 3 most dangerous regimes we faced. We took one of them out and now look what countries we are still having trouble with, the remaining two.

If the public wouldn't had been such pansies about taking out rouge regimes back when we took out Iraq we may see different leadership in place in Iran and N.K. by now. Or at the very least they would be scared sh**less of us. But the American public are cowards and do nothing but whine unless any task results in instant gratification. We lack the ability to take on the tough challenges anymore. It really breaks my heart (perhaps literally).

The vast majority of the American people are woefully uneducated about these matters. They couldnt give a crap. They will in do time, of course, but like Pearl Harbor and 9-11, it will be TOO LATE. That is just the way Americans are unfortunately. Always have, always will be. PS I think Geraldo Rivera’s analysis of this live on FOX is horrendous.
