The reprocessing of the spent fuel means Pyongyang could produce more bombs "in fairly short order, a matter of months," he said.
Better hurry the Iraq plan.

Bush will announce tommorow the deployment of a national ABM system based in Alaska by 2004. Alaska is the only part of the US the NK missiles can reach as of now. No coincedence IMHO.

Gertz seems to be a writer with an agenda of writing bad things about China. This may or may not be true, but I would not take Gertz's word for it.
"The transfer itself is an indication that China's government, contrary to some public statements, is unwilling to support U.S. efforts to resolve the North Korean nuclear problem, said administration security officials"
The above quote is pure speculation and conclusion without substantiating facts by the author. In fact, he later quotes Fleisher as saying that the administration believes the opposite is true.

Henry Sokolski, head of the private Nonproliferation Policy Education Center, said the transfer of the nuclear arms-related chemical shows the Chinese "don't understand how important this is to us."Nonsense. They know exactly what they are doing.
Eventually people will realize that China and Russia are both using NK as a proxy against us. Unfortunately, the realization may come too late.

The transfer itself is an indication that China's government, contrary to some public statements, is unwilling to support U.S. efforts to resolve the North Korean nuclear problem, said administration security officials. "China is working with the United States to make certain that we can resolve the situation with North Korea peacefully and diplomatically, and that is being done in concert with South Korea, and Japan and Russia, as well," Mr. Fleischer said.
What's with the diplomatic nice-nice here? These thugs are trying to get us killed without looking like they have their finger on the trigger.
It is indeed a world war.

If a Korean Mushroom sprouts over LA Bejing needs to glow in the dark in return. Mix in a little cobalt for flavor.
