#1 Depends on what he means by 'hard evidence'. I don't have any 'hard evidence' the Norks have a bomb - it's all just hearsay.

Come to think of it - I personally don't have any 'hard evidence' the Rooskies have a bomb.

#2 Bobby,
We have no hard evidence the US has any bombs either. We had some but we used some and took others apart - who really knows how many are left.

#6 Oh fer Chrissakes. I though if we got a non-muzzie in the position there might be something accomplished. What is it with these guys?

#7 Nah, Glenmore (#2), I've seen pictures of US tests.

#8 Bobby,
On July 16, 1945 we had 1-3 nukes. On July 17 we had one less. On August 9 I don't think we had any. We kept making them and we kept testing them - prove we still have any. Everybody assumes we do, but 'everybody' thought Saddam had WMD too.

#10 The IAEA, still no evidence that it is actually relevant or worth anything.

#11 I'm not really sure why we tolerate such nonsense from the UN. The Human Rights Group have made a mockery of Human Rights. The IAEA is an even bigger joke. The US should hold nations accountable for their votes and start pulling back aid and attention.

The US should push for Japan to become not only a permanent member of the security council but the new home of the UN. We should push for enlargement all around and dillute the power and force the French/Russians and Chinese to fight against it to preserve their little bits of power, thus putting us on the side of the little nations. If it enlarges the UN is weaker, if not, we look better to half of the world. Win/win.

If all of that doesn't work we walk away.

#12 The IAEA governors have picked the correct man to lead their esteemed organization.

He hasn't even assumed office and he already has the denial thing down pat.

That Nobel Peace Prize is a sure thing.
