N. Korea vows to start enriching uranium, weaponize new plutonium
Yonhap ^

Posted on 06/12/2009 11:49:12 PM PDT by maquiladora

SEOUL, June 13 (Yonhap) -- North Korea said Saturday it will start enriching uranium and weaponize all new plutonium, protesting the U.N. Security Council resolution expanding sanctions on it.

The North, which triggered the resolution after its second nuclear test on May 25, also said it will "respond militarily" if the U.S. and other countries attempt what it called a "blockade."

The resolution calls on states to conduct inspections of North Korea ships suspected of carrying materials related to weapons of mass destruction.

So far we have no proof at all that NK has done anything

but pack old coal mines with HE (20-30,000lbs.),,,

The “air tests” that we have taken don’t find anything,,,

Sounds like another money grab to me...(JMHO)...

Obama is unable to do anything - he will ignore NK and just hope the situation goes away.

Hussein will sleep on this like Bush did, until they deliver one or 5 on the west coast out of spite.. Or more likely sell em and they’re delivered in other ways.

Either way, the nuclear game isn’t a joke. I’m just surprised NK is announcing it so loudly.

TEXT: North Korea’s reply to U.N. sanctions for nuclear test
http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE55C0KV20090613

Following is a full text of the English-language report on North Korea’s KCNA news agency on Saturday where it said it would boost its atomic arsenal in response to U.N. punishment for its nuclear test:

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea issued the following statement Saturday in connection with the fact that at the instigation of the U.S., the United Nations Security Council has finally adopted a ‘resolution on sanctions’ against the DPRK over its second nuclear test:

“On June 12, the United Nations Security Council, at the instigation of the U.S., has finally adopted a ‘resolution on sanctions’ against the DPRK over its second nuclear test.

“This is yet another vile product of the U.S.-led offensive of international pressure aimed at undermining the DPRK’s ideology and its system chosen by its people by disarming the DPRK and suffocating its economy.

“The U.S. and Japan, not content with this ‘resolution’, are hatching dirty plots to add their own ‘sanctions’ to the existing ones against the DPRK by framing up the fictional issues of ‘counterfeit money’ and ‘drug trafficking’.

...

“Upon authorization, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK strongly condemns and rejects the UNSC ‘resolution 1874’ and declares that it will take the following countermeasures at this early phase of all-out confrontation with the U.S. in order to defend the national dignity and the country’s sovereignty.

“First: The whole amount of the newly extracted plutonium will be weaponised. More than one third of the spent fuel rods has been reprocessed to date.

“Second: The process of uranium enrichment will be commenced. Pursuant to the decision to build its own light-water reactor, enough success has been made in developing uranium enrichment technology to provide nuclear fuel to allow the experimental procedure.

“Third: An attempted blockade of any kind by the U.S. and its followers will be regarded as an act of war and met with a decisive military response. No mater how hard the U.S.-led hostile forces may try all sorts of isolation and blockade, the DPRK, a proud nuclear power, will not flinch from them. It is the Songun idea-based mode of counter-action for the DPRK to decisively counter ‘sanctions’ with retaliation and “confrontation” with all-out confrontation.”

I meant to take out the intro from the article about this being the “full text”. What I posted has been excerpted. The full text is available at the Reuters link.

Bill Clinton’s legacy:

1. A nuclear North Korea
2. ChiComs who can put an ICBM on the west coast of America
3. Dress stains
4. Degradation of the Oval Office such that Obammie the Commie feels comfortable putting his stinking feet up on the desk
5. An emboldened Islamofascist enemy of the US
6. A two-mile crater in souther Manhattan

Well, I think Obammie the Commie is on the way to topping Bill “Loral” Clinton

One never hears anything about Kim’s annointed successor, (his son) and any women. Might he be GAY? If so, what an EMBARRASSMENT to the regime that will be.

Yes, I forgot they also control the Panama Canal, which was Carter's doing. Another great Commie-in-Chief.

But, But BUT...we were PROMISED that NOW would be the time of Obama when the hate for the past evils if the USA would be RESET and all of the world and the “alleged” enemies would change their “behavior” towards us stopping any and ALL acts of confrontation?

Obama even told us that we could and WOULD unilaterally eliminate ALL of our OUTDATED Nuclear weapons because they were totally unnecessary and part of that OLD, way (you know, the evil Republican kind) of THINKING?

YOU MEAN THE WORLD HASN’T REALLY CHANGED???!!!

/TOTAL AND COMPLETE SARCASM

So...does also mean that now the Planet isn’t going heal itself?

They are WELL over the *line* stated by President Bush around 2002 or so, that if they crossed, would mean war.

Both Bush (did)and this current sap in office are going to keep appeasing and appeasing and apppeasing and backing down until something really blowed up good. Why dont these people learn from HISTORY?

This is my favorite.

China warned about the dangers involved in inspecting North Korean cargo under United Nations Security Council sanctions approved yesterday, saying countries intercepting vessels should avoid armed action. “Under no circumstance should there be the use of force or the threat of use of force” in implementing the sanctions in Resolution 1874.

Each ship in the area will be equipped with a "stern letter" from the Security Council requesting that they cease and desist. LOL
