Breaking: NK threatens nuclear war if US attacks
2006-07-03

On Foxnews TV (not yet on website) - just came over the wire - apparently Kimmy's upset his missile isn't forcing us to the 1:1 negotiation table - developing

#11  North Korea > controlled by China > Norkie threat of nuke strike/war is synonymous wid Chicom threat of same, just that the Chicoms prefer NOT to be the initial, sadly expendable North Koreans whom will die first. Its a quandry - how to feed the starving NK people + Army while modernizing the NK econ without democracy, de-regulation, or powersharing, and also while officially pretending NK is sovereign and independent from China-CPC/CCCC while preventing either the Chicoms andor the West from making NK per se glow in the dark vv asymmetric People's War of [anti-US] Resistance = Chicom War for China- and Communism-centric Asian-Pacific hegemony. NOW LETS ALL BE LIKE MAVERICK'S CARRIER CO IN "TOP GUN" AND SMOKE A HEAVY CIGAR WHILE LOOKING AT THE SKY!?

#8  I wonder if Kimmie has ever flown over the US. It's big. Yeah, there are some tender spots, but you'll need a lot more than what he'll ever have to take it out of action for any length of time. That stuff is probably meant for NorK consumption, but they've got to be tired of hearing it by now. And even if there were a big red button to push, even he would have to hesitate no matter how long he'd been drinking water plumbed in through lead pipes. Kind of makes me wonder what sort of military advice he's been getting.

#7  NK is not threat to the US. Kimmie is bottled up and NKors on ther verge of starvation. Urge the Skors to quit feeding, funding and enabling Kimmie while the US spreads dissent and propaganda of a post commie NK to the masses. Meet any aggressive moves by destroying NK fuel assets.

#6  Unfortunately, our best bet is to allow the NKs to evolve out of fuhrer-communism, as did the Soviet bloc and China. Our real target should be Iran, and the rest of the terrorist entities who retired Dutch lab worker, A.Q. Khan (AKA: hero of Pakistan) passed information for money. The Islamofascists can only evolve into a genocidal threat to Homeland US. Diplomacy is not an option against Ahmadinejad.

#5  Didn't we just move a couple battlegroups into the area and some B2s to Guam?

Going to be a short war. Sorta like that scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark, where a tired Dr. Jones pulls a gun and just shots the clown.

#4  Maybe they just moved the fueling gear/vehicles close for the satellite/recon photo op, & it's still empty.

#3  Wasn't it fueled some time ago? Shouldn't it either be defueled or launched by this time?


I too am wondering just how much longer the duct tape is going to hold.

#2  AP Story - North Korea is ready to answer a pre-emptive U.S. military attack with an "annihilating strike and a nuclear war," the state-run media said Monday. The Korean Central News Agency, citing an unidentified Rodong Sinmun newspaper "analyst," accused the United States of increasing military pressure on the isolated communist state.

The North Korean threat of retaliation, which is often voiced by its state-controlled media, comes amid U.S. official reports that Pyongyang has shown signs of preparing for a test of a long-range missile.

#1  Yup, wants his spotlight back.

Where's he at with this missile? Wasn't it fueled some time ago? Shouldn't it either be defueled or launched by this time?

Is that why NORAD is stepped up - he's gotta let fly or dismantle? I haven't heard an update recently.

Poor Kimmy - missile all perpendicular and thrusting to go and no-one paying attention.
