Time to level Yongbyon's nuclear weapons complex ASAP.

I dunno if GPS-guided GBU-36 bombs can do it, but suppose we could use 2,700-pound projectiles hitting that complex at Mach 2+ twice a minute, and just hammer it that way for 45 minutes to an hour?

Actually, 12 GBU-36s would be enough to destroy the facility if delivered with the correct timing. The resonant shockwaves would simply collapse the underground portion and the above-ground part would follow :o)

This should also be considered 'ground zero' for any plans the Pentagon is deliberating (along with the launch sites immediately for Taepodong and Nodong missiles in HamgyeongBuk Province and HamgyeonNam Province on the north east coast of DPRK.

Thats why we need an orbital space station and asteroid collection system, deployed in secret. Go use it and divert one small asteroid to impact North Korea's nuclear facility, and no one could blame us. :)

And then what do we do when they open up with the largest collection of artillery pieces on the planet earth? We are in South Korea for the protection of the South Koreans; why on earth should we initiate an action that would result in the deaths of millions of South Korean civilians?
