BREAKING - South Koreans this morning are reading in their newspapers that North Korea
undertook a nuclear test in the last three months.
Is this the reason for the admission of breaking the Agreement yesterday?

[Zeroisanumber]

Explain yourself. I am too stupid to understand why you have asked me to research the nature of tech exchange.

Why would the US government agree to provide N.Korea with nuclear power plants? You're not stupid, just do a little fact checking.

[GWfan]

Amen.

[John Lenin]

It can be wiped out in 15 minutes. It will be forced to capitulate.

Wrong ! There are 30,000 US troops with super high tech weapons and we could devastate them in no time.

[Mr. Peabody]

Remeber:

Hazel O'Leary and Clinton declassification of nuclear and biological weapons information?

Albright and Clinton refusing to call N. Korea a "rogue Nation"?

Albright explaining how they were uncomfortable with the US being the world's sole superpwer?

Almost all nuclear test are underground these days, The same way we can detect an earthquake is how we detect an underground nuclear test. Basic atmosphere equipment can detect the sudden temperature change. When they showed the Pakistan underground test, The whole damn mountain turned white from the heat.

[Zeroisanumber]

Hillary, is that you?

I can't respond to this without breaking just about every one of FR's civility policies.

[Zeroisanumber]

But, if we act now, we can destroy all these punks.

I'm not willing to instigate mass slaughter, there are other ways out of this.

And with Israels 200 nukes, even Russia and China better watch out!

I don't think that the Russians and the Chinese will be any more afraid o 3,700 nukes then they already are of 3,500 nukes. Neither is any sane person willing to use even one of them.

In reply to everything you've said...

I now have to go relax. I now know that you're only a DNC provacateur. You and your kind will get your comeupance in NOVEMBER.

The same way we can detect an earthquake is how we detect an underground nuclear test. Basic atmosphere equipment can detect the sudden temperature change.

Who has instruments close by to detect a minor underground explosion deep in North Korea? And what basic atmosphere instruments are you referring to? And who was operating them over south Korea at this exact time?

[Zeroisanumber]

I've been here for a year and a half, I think that my history speaks for itself.

[justshe]

Oh stop it.

We are addressing almost the same situation with Iraq BEFORE Iraq turns into another North Korea, complete w/nuclear bombs.

Nothing would please you. This country is damned if they do (Iraq) and damned if they don't (North Korea), if one follows YOUR logic, or lack thereof.

[John Lenin]

Uhmmm, negotiating with murderous killers who hate your guts is like negotiating with a crocidle before he eats you.

[Dec31,1999]

It's hard to imagine why the US just didn't offer technology to build modern oil burning plants. Why offer dictatorships nukes? Now it's coming back to bite us in the ass. Must have been part of the Atoms for Peace program of the AEC.

[MJY1288]

Satellites pick up the temperature changes and we have sizemoligy(sp?) equipment in South Korea along with 35,000 troops assigned to monitor NK, EP-3 spy planes are also quite handy in that area

[kayak]

... but our program actually works.

I guess I'm just awfully ignorant and naive. If our program of food aid is working so well, please explain to me why can you find stories like this on the internet?

June 21, 2002
BEIJING, China (CNN) -- A severe shortage of food aid is forcing hungry North Koreans to scrounge for grass and seaweed, the United Nations says.

Warning of a new threat of famine in the communist country, the U.N.'s World Food Programme says hundreds of thousands of North Koreans are abandoning work and school in a desperate effort to stave off hunger.

"They're going up into the mountains in search of edible grasses. They're on the beaches collecting seaweed," WFP spokesman Gerald Bourke said in Beijing after visiting North Korea.

[ApesForEvolution]

Are you nuts? Oh, never mind...

[Joe Hadenuf]

Dealing with North Koreans is like juggling chain saws.....

While roller skating.....

[justshe]

Bill Clinton on the other hand probably knew quite well what N. Korea was up to and more than likely accepted campaign contributions in the form of "Straw Donors" to 1996 Clinton/Gore Re-Election campaign. There is no doubt in my mind that we have yet to see just how much damage Bill Clinton did to this country.

And didn't Torch and Chang make a few trips over there? What better time to 'pick up' the contributions. And you weren't the only one who almost shot a round into the TV during H and C. Hubs was so upset I thought for sure we would be TV shopping tomorrow! Kasich did a GREAT job though.

[RLK]

Wrong ! There are 30,000 US troops with super high tech weapons and we could devastate them in no time.

------------------------

We could devastate them after the fact.

"minor underground explosion"

A weak and minor atomic bomb, like the one we dropped on Nagasaki is more powerful than all the conventional bomds dropped by the allied forces in WWII. The Hydrogen bombs of today are 1,000 times stronger than the one dropped on Nagasaki.

There is no such thing as a minor nuclear explosion
