For the consumption of NK only.. others ,avert your eyes.

Well, if North Korea has more than 100 nuclear weapons, then the US better vaporize that country before it has the chance to use them, should it not?

[Cicero]

Unlikely. But they do have two or three, or maybe four or five by this time, and delivery vehicles to put them in.

And they'll have 100 in a year or two if we don't take them out.

[ChadGore]

Take your best shot, Kim Jong. We're ready.

Showing 5,000-mile range for Taipodong II.

August 1998 launch of Taipodong cleared Japan.

If Kim sends his "nukes" to CONUS it'll be in Kia trunks.

As we've heard no PRNK a-tests it's the Twinkies talking.

Kim Myong Chul (pictured above) went on to say:"Yea! We have 100, NO!, 200 nuclear weapons! Yea! That's the ticket! And they can hit Bush right on the head! Yea!"

Chul soon left the meeting after declaring: "I have a date with Morgan Fairchild! Yea!"

"North Korean missiles can reach any part of the United States of America."

Really?!? Why do you keep splashing them into the sea?

Here's a little info for you zipperheads, we have satellites over you, we know where everything is. Now go away and starve for awhile, we will get to you shortly.

North Korean Has More Than 100 Nuclear Bombs

As looney tunes as this sounds, remember...we are dealing with 60 year old technology.

Our entrance into the Nuclear Age was in the Slide Rule Era...and those things are bona fide Antiques now.

BTW, I read a book published in the 1960's called "The Day of Trinity", about the test at Alamagordo, New Mexico. The book stated that the ONLY classified part was the 'Initiator'. Anyone with any nuclear physics background can design an 'initiator'.

With what is available today, 100 bombs is looney tunes. But 10 bombs???

I guess that is one legacy of the "kick the can down the road" 1990's, along with the equities implosion, and the rest of the whole unserious zeitgeist.

[Lazamataz]

Crunch all you like.

We'll make more.

[HighRoadToChina]

"But if Bush agrees to talk, Kim Jong Il will accept US-led inspections and the eventual reunification of Korea, which inevitably will lead to a democratic, unified nation. After unification, Kim Jong Il will step down and let the people of Korea elect their national leader..."

That is the best joke today. HAHAHA!!!

[blam]

North Korea: "Give us free stuff or we'll nuke you."

[Defender2]

We're not going to waste any time with them. If DPRK commits an act of war, they will simply cease to exist.

[TBall]

I'm so sick of hearing about North Korean rhetoric. America needs to just say no to appeasement.

[TSgt]

BRAVO SIERRA

"More than 100" Nice round number.

BS Meter is off the scale.

[Fulbright]

Great posts, EOTS. Keep kicking them where it hurts. The situation with the ROK is orders of magnitude worse than the pending Sandstorm Fiasco in Iraq and Kuwait.

[RightWhale]

Makes that single flight of ABMs at Greeley woefully short of adequacy. It was designed to stop 5 or so missiles. A large salvo--100 would qualify as large--would make the ABM a mere gesture. The ABM would need to be upgraded to 20 flights to make a difference in a 100 missile attack. Can it be done? Sure, it's just money, which is flowing like water these days. Of course the money won't matter if the missiles are launched, so spend it while you got it.

[Maringa]

With North Korea's missile threat, this will be a great opportunity for Bush to proceed with asking Congress for accelerated funds to develop anti-missile technology. N. Korea's missile threat would then become moot....

[Vinomori]

we can handle 100 bombs going off...if they had, say, 8 million bombs? We would be in trouble. That is, if they are nuclear.

[plain talk]

That's not what Sandy Berger says. He says they stopped them from building nukes and NK didn't build them of any significance until Bush came in and screwed everything up.
