The United States has backtracked somewhat on its previous assessment of North Korea's recent nuclear test, CNN reported Thursday.
While Washington originally expressed skepticism over Pyongyang's claims that it tested a hydrogen bomb during the January 6 test, it now believes North Korea might have attempted to test components of a hydrogen bomb after further review and analysis of the latest intelligence information, officials told the news network.
A U.S. official directly familiar with the latest assessment said there may have been a partial, failed test of some type of components associated with a hydrogen bomb. ...

North Korea showing us up. Iranians pulling guns on us as we kneel.
What we get when the POTUS is the princess fairy.
Must be Friday night.
They still have to have a delivery system. Unless the Chinese or Russians supply them with such a system ... so what.
Unless they plan on selling the H-bomb to someone. Hmmmmm.
The FBI is working on their own H-> Bomb.
When I was a kid, the government would have known IMMEDIATELY whether they had conducted a test or not. The Obama regime is totally clueless. Another Clintonista regime would be even worse. DemocRATS have their heads stuck so far up their *** that they haven’t got a clue about what is going on. All they are worried about is the next election.
From what I’ve read, seismic data says otherwise.
Testing components may not yield an H-caliber seismic event.
Thanks pedophile bastard rapist Bill Clinton and scheming democrat Madeleine Albright for your disasterous Agreed Framework plan. (Clinton made it a 'plan' so that there would be no Senate vote required!)
N Korea was testing the A-bomb trigger which starts the H-bomb fusion energy explosion. That’s why the shock wave measured seemed to be less than an H-bomb signature. Once the trigger is figured out, adding the hydrogen lithium H-bomb component is simple science.
N. Korea is about a year away from having a working long range H-bomb tipped missile able to hit the USA. Plus, with sanctions removed, Iran has the cash to buy a few of these weapons from N. Korea. Thanks, Obama.
An ocean going freighter makes a great delivery system. Think about it.
So the Obama administration lied, and the North Korean Fat Boy was telling the truth. Hmm. Things seem to be upside down here.
The Sum of All Fears
But do all the components work together. From what I’ve read in “The Making Of The Atomic Bomb” the trigger device is nuclear to begin with so with that in mind I don’t believe they’ve detonated an H-Bomb.
