#1 only a handful with long range precision stealth delivery systems, the latter limited to America, Russia, China, France and Great Britain.

He missed out the Zionist Cabal. Read the rest of the site and you will understand.

#2 Viewed through the eyes of desperate Zionist neocons like..

I stopped right there.

#3 A long time ago, the US did a lot of research on using nuclear devices, not weapons per se, to dig long trenches. The idea was that they might be used to dig a new Panama Canal, for example.
That being said, if a reasonably small number of "trenching" nukes were used on the mountains within arty range of Seoul, they might effectively 'strip mine' out even heavily fortified, reinforced positions, but with relatively little residual contamination.

But Dick Cheney has already applied the screws to China to sit on Fearless Leader's nuclear ambitions, them getting in the way of China's own territorial and economic ambitions. So if they must, don't be surprised if the guns facing Seoul prove to be as useless as the Maginot Line. That is, pointing in the wrong direction.

#5 I made the mistake of checking out this guy's site. Zowie. He really, really needs to go back on his meds.

#8 That is either the biggest spoof site I've yet seen (like the false news story plants on T.Heinz Kerry's Indymedia), or someone is definitely off his medications for manic paranoid schizophrenia.

It boggles the mind that anyone could even believe 1/10 ofwhat is on that site is true, much less gobbling the whole articles.

#10 At first I thought this was from the New York Times, but then I realized it was too well written.

#11 This guy must be seeing a whole team of doctors. I especially liked the "million man Mahdi Army."

#12 One thing I noticed when I was looking at the enhanced images from the "after" shot is that the damage was quite directional. Almost all of the power of the blast was directed to the right on the image, toward the city. Very little was directed to the left, toward the rest of the railyard. I'll be looking at the "before" image posted after I left yesterday, to see if there's a geographic reason for that. If not, I'll have to do some serious thinking about what might have been contained in those railcars.

#13 LP Gas Old Pat.

Heavy reailcar underneath. Fiberglass/steel contrainer riding it.

Gasoline car explodes nearby, topples LPGas car, lpgas overpressurizes and ruptures then explodes - making for a very directional blast, especially to one side or out the endcaps. If the cars derailed, they probably topples to the same side (toward the city) and the explosion was channeld in that direction using the car chassis as a baseplate, kind of like the old backplated shaped charges.

No need to go tin-foil-hat. Its simple physics.

i guess china has leaped a decade in its stealth delivery technology and france has finally updated it 70's era nuclear force

#15 Read an article yesterday where a guy questioned what happened to Kimmie? Nobody has seen him since the accident. I don't know if that's true but I haven't seen him and I would think he'd want to rant out in public and blame the west or something over he explosion.

#16 Ruprecht-

I refer everyone to the 1970's Woody Allen movie, "Sleeper"

The leader had died in an explosion, and all they could find is the nose which they wanted to clone into a whole new leader.

These guys are that crazy? Probably Not. But the thought must be crossing their minds. Especially if they found the nose.

Comment: Rail tankers(in the U.S.)are designed to blow out the ends.The theory is that this directs the blast up/down the track limiting destruction along the tracks.
That is the theory anyway
Saw a training film,there was a tanker car in Northern Az.on fire.When the car blew the ends were what blew.There was a firefighting crew onsite,the only one who lived was the guy on the Ladder truck and they found him blown a couple of hundred yards away.
