N. Korea Says It's Unilateral Removing I.A.E.A. Nuke Plant Surveillance Cameras at Once (Breaking)

Sankei Shimbun, Tokyo (In Japanese) from RadioPress Reports ^ | 15 December 2002 | Sankei Shimbun News (Japanese)

Breaking hard.

Kyodo news (from Radio Press) reported just now that the Korean Central News Agency (communist Pyongyang) stated that if the I.A.E.A. does not remove the seals and cameras on their nuke plants, they are going to begin immediately dismantling them and removing them.

Koffi Anan of the UN, and the I.A.E.A. chief told them just hours ago not to try and pull this stunt.

Time for the Security Council Meeting.

Nuke Iraq and North Korea and the war on terror will be over. Iran will fall into line and the whole thing will die down for a long time. This will spare us a Red communist Chinese invasion of Taiwan to defend with a spread-thin military as well.

[DCPatriot]

Yeah, those missles have the latest and SMALLEST Global Positioning System (GPS)attached. We hope, anyway.

Evidence of co-conspiracy in the War on Terror.

[ApesForEvolution]

The UN is striking the fear of God in the North Kommies?

[knak]

After all, the No Dongs can only reach Alaska,

Gee thanks.

Three fronts might be problematic.

[ApesForEvolution]

As serious as I can be, all problems now appear to be at a nucler level given how spread thin America is becoming with global US militarization.

*Whew* Thank goodness Kofi Annan is on the case.

[ApesForEvolution]

I flaggelate in North Korea's general direction...

btw.. you statement ""Threat over here! No, now it's over there! Stop looking at Iraq! Look anywhere but Iraq! Don't go in there! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" is exactly right!!

It also makes one wonder why the PANIC by Carter, Clinton and Gore? Why so much publicity stating how we should just continue on in Afghanistan.. stay in the mountains searching for ONE man. Al Queda is EVERYWHERE NOW. The Iraqi connection will be revealed, as long as we can preserve our ability to gather intelligence in that region. Already members of the Intelligence committee have stated there is PROOF. But whether it can come out or not, depends on the safety of our agents and others who are providing us the valuable information.

If CLINTON had still been at the helm, his administration would have revealed how we got the information, when, where and why. The lives of those collecting the information be damned!!

Again.. THANK GOD this administration is in place. So many lives, lives we depend on for information, are relying on them to put their lives first. The lack of care for our agents in the field is in large part responsible for the near collapse of our ability to gather intelligence. Now that President Bush prioritizes them over the media.. we can expect things to get better. But it will take some time to undo all the damage. It takes YEARS to establish enough trust with the underground to get "in" and to accomplish good intelligence.

The Torrecelli Ammendment also did great damage to our ability to collect VITAL information. This administration is UNDOING a ton of bad policy.

Anyway.. gotta run. FRegards FRiend!

[ApesForEvolution]

That's precisely my thought. The worm is turning and Bush is going to have to crush some tinpot dictator's skulls rather quickly.

Chinese aid is one of the reasons North Korea has endured so long. If China did not want a crackpot next door, the aid would have stopped long ago.

[Kevin Curry]

But, but, Bill Clinton had an agreement with them.

Nobel laureate Jimmy Carter got Kim Il Sung to swear on a stack of bibles that he wouldn't develop nuclear weapons. If St. Jimmy is satisfied, who are we to question things?

[Hugin]

True. But the question is whether they want the crackpot next door to have nukes. I don't see how it benefits them at all.

[hellinahandcart]

Seriously..... Someone is pulling strings in the background on this whole bit.

Seriously...I have thought for a long time now that "they're all in on it together". Many nations and many seemingly disparate factions and political ideologies.

You would be exactly right,..and extremely astute!! IOHO

The sooner we Project American Military Power in the Mideast the sooner they all get the message.

[Travis McGee]

To say the least.

[Travis McGee]

Missile and nuclear proliferation benefits China directly in many ways. North Korea is their "deniable" fountain of missile and nuclear proliferation to America's enemies and potential enemies world wide.

Proliferation means that the USA must heavily invest its limited resources far from China to defend itself and its allies from the missiles and possible nukes that Korea has shipped everywhere... with China's wink and nod and secret help.

Assets such as our Aegis class (anti ballistic missile capable) ships which are spread over the globe guarding our allies and ourselves are ships which will NOT be available to come to the defense of Taiwan etc. This is a case of China attempting to dilute and spread out our assets so that they cannot be focused on China.

China and North Korea are equal partners in this strategic endeavor.

[Travis McGee]

And the sooner that China may send us a return message.

Watch the Taiwan Straits like a hawk.

The agreement bribe expired.
