#1 When "all options" are on the table, "nothing" is one of the options being considered.

#6 JM: Interesting. I wondered why the passenger list was kept quiet. I thought I also heard a diplomat was on board. Chinese nuclear scientists in Brazil, when they are energy independent, makes one wonder who they were meeting with. Brazil is also a team player on the International Space Station, with rocket launching capabilities.

#7 Chinese nuclear scientists in Brazil

Brazil has uranium and enrichment capability. China wants fuel. And Brazil has threshold nuclear weapons capability.

Nice. But how hard are they looking at the one that will work? I feel the South Koreans are going to have to go in and kick some NorK a$$ with US assistance. Might have to use food as a weapon here, and as an enticement to play nice after the festivities begin.
