2009-05-31
That'll show 'em.
[Kyodo: Korea] The U.S. special envoy for the six-way talks on North KoreaŽs nuclear drive has told Japanese lawmakers that Washington will not recognize Pyongyang as a nuclear weapons state, Japanese and U.S. diplomatic sources said Friday. Sung Kim relayed the stance Thursday to a Japanese governing-party delegation to the United States, led by Taku Yamasaki, a former deputy president of the Liberal Democratic Party, the sources said.

#5  Lest we fergit, WORLD MIL FORUM [China] > KOREAS PERT claims that NOKOR = KIMMIE will prob need another FOUR YEARS [2012/2013; 2012-2015 r.o.]]to dev the national capacity to be able to produce and test BALLISTIC MISSLES, NUCLEAR DEVICES ETC. ON A REGULAR OR CONVENIENT BASIS.

IOW, NORTH KOREA HAS FOUR YEARS TO BECOM A FULL-FLEDGED PROFICIENT NUCLEAR POWER. Can prob safely allude the same timeline for IRAN REGARDLESS OF THE SUCCESS OR OTHER OF THE MILTERRS IN BREAKING UP MAINLAND ASIA [ Russ, Chin, India].
