Someday a nuclear bomb is going to go off again.

[Dog Gone]

The lights are on at Foggy Bottom tonight. This has the potential to be this century's Cuban Missile Crisis.

[goldstategop]

Bill Clinton gave the Commies the ability to destroy the U.S several times over! What a legacy.

Earlier Post North Korea Admits Nuclear Weapons Program

[Billthedrill]

Yeah, that crazy George Bush, throwing wild accusations around against peace-loving people...hey, I could write for the Guardian...

[crypt2k]

How does a North Korean nuke get to Iraq?

[Asmodeus]

Didn't U.S. Intelligence agencies know this earlier?

If so, what is Bush up to?

If not, the Intelligence agencies should be the top priority problem for Bush to tackle.

By the way, doesn't China have nukes too? And what's the relationship of China and North Korea with Iraq - friends or foes?

[Rodney King]

The headline is highly misleading. There is a difference between having a nuclear weapons program and having "nukes".

"Thanks, Bill."

[highpockets]

in violation of an agreement signed with the Clinton administration,

I can not believe that another government would be in violation of an agreement that was made with the most "ethical" administration in the history of America.

(The word "ethical" "is" re-definable based on party affiliation.

Re: a senior administration official said Wednesday night. . .

This story needs a source.

[Not_Who_U_Think]

I think, if truth be known, that more was said than "yes, we have it." There is a point to this admission.

[FreeReign]

Under a 1994 agreement with the United States, North Korea promised to give up its nuclear weapons program, and it promised to allow inspections to verify that it did not have the material needed to construct such weapons.

What a great president that Bill Clinton was. </approriate tag>

[NormsRevenge]

The disclosure, which stunned senior administration officials, is certain to chill U.S.-North Korean relations.

"stunned" :-?

I wonder how much longer Tenet can last at the CIA ? He should have been gone long ago. Our intelligence machine needs some work, Im afraid.

[John H K]

Well, just to explore how much fun baseless speculation can be...

How about the DC sniper (olive-skin? small stature?) as a PRK agent?

Montgomery County is chock-full of Koreans. Easy to blend in. North Korean Intelligence has a long history of inscrutable, messed-up stuff. Blew up a South Korean Airliner before the Seoul Olympics in hopes of disrupting them.

[Uncle Miltie]

If cement has been laid on the nuclear reactors Clinton gave them, bomb them to rubble now. A deal's a deal. Break it, and we break you.
