One important consideration here... If N.K. has indeed accomplished this, look out for Iran, Syria, the Sudan and Lybia.

Each of these states have been rumored to be Chinese client states. I don't believe for a moment that N.K. did all this work on their own.

Note that they haven't even tested much of this hardware. Was it tested elsewhere?

Nukes, missiles, launchers... none of it has been tested.

North Korea develops the missiles, and then Iran, Pakistan, or others test them.

The SHahab 3 missile in Iran is a NODONG missile, exported by North Korea. Once Iran tests the missile, they ship the test data to North Korea, and they make improvements. Same with Pakistan, and the others.

Thats how they get around the testing problem....or have been for the last 10 years or so.

Why did you stop with your reasoning? You were right on track - the Chinese haven't done testing on this stuff either - WE DID. Thanks Clinton.

He gave our research to the Chinese, who in turn gave it to the DPRK, who then sell it to all of our enemies. That way it will be OUR FAULT when we are attacked by WMD, and The Ankle can go before the Senate and screech about it while she runs for president. Nice.....

Me either. Clinton helped out the Red Chinese and they are helping NK. We gave them the rope to hang us with, and they don't care who does the deed.

Re you #55

No, this is not rumor. See this.

EXCELLENT POINT

Reading Bill Gertz excellent book about China is enough to make any reasonable person suspicious that China is behind a lot of this.

China sits on the cusp and it's a 50-50 shot which way they'll fall.

Correct you are as earlier this year a shippment of NK missiles was allowed to pass after boarding and discovery in a port and then allowed to final destination - all because they were not destined for Iraq:)
