Reference post 16 Here is a link to aerial photos: http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/dprk/yongbyon-imagery.htm Notice the lack of electric power lines, generators, or other electric power generating quipment.

Here is another link to a cool zoomable picture from Space.com. If you left click on the picture it zooms in to the part you are focused on and then takes a second to refocus. I thought you might like it since you posted the other photos.

This is not good folks, not good at all!

That is so cool! Thanks!

My, aren't you being snotty. I'm sure you'd just prefer to send them a few billion more. Go away.

Well let's calculate it. Considering a war with North Korea could cost say 10 million lives. I mean hell they good in fact destroy Seoul in the matter of hours with all their firepower they have lined up. Let's say we give them 1 billion a year for 10 years.. So that's 10 billion right? Ok so the way I figure it is.. if we spend 1000 dollars per person over a 10 year period.. or just 100 bucks a year we can save 10 million lives from parishing over the next decade. Pretty reasonable don't you think? Now I'm not saying that we should give in to them. But if war is what you want.. you're pretty cheap.

[theDentist]

So you're basically saying you put the value of a human life at about $1000. I value them a damn sight more than that.

[Almondjoy]

Ok...... So you're saying that we should give North Korea trillions of dollars in order to stave off a war? Interesting change of opinion you have there.

[theDentist]

No, I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying, thanks to Clinton and Albright, we gave the %&%&^s $Billions not to build a nuke (freepers saw thru that immediately), but they did it anyway. Now they're demanding more to not build other devices. Paying them off don't work. Is that clear enough?

[Almondjoy]

And what I'm saying is at the very least it bought us time. Instead of having 50-100 nukes they could of had now. They don't.

[theDentist]

Then we're in the same corner. I think that the billions we sent actually sped up their development process. Either way, Clinton and Albright were fools.

[Almondjoy]

Maybe so.. but if Bush was in the White House I doubt the outcome would of been significantly different. And it didn't speed up the process. They had in fact had the framework to churn out nukes back in 93-94.. hense the reason for the deal in the first place. Clinton did have plans to strike them. SK wouldn't back the deal so we had to settle.
