#2 This is another take on a Reuters article posted yesterday. Both articles could be from the same source, I suppose, given what fine, industrious journalists are running around the world nowadays. The previous article said NKor had bought the thing so there would be no revealing explosion when they tested the technology to make sure it was functional. Its all much too complicated for my little mind to comprehend, I'm afraid.

#3 No worries about N. Korea. It's the MSM making up stories. But of course. Pass the salt and pepper and I'll take my condiments straight up. It is faaaarrrr more important to turn our attention to Iran who may be, could be, possibly, perhaps working on nuclear weapons... according to our infallible CIA - oops - okay so no one's perfect.

#4 North Korea is believed to have at least one or two nuclear weapons.

Just keep it up and they will rapidly acquire several more.

#6 Buy one and reverse engineer it with freelance Pakistani scientists. This is also the same path many say Bin Laden has been down.

#11 I'd figure that Pakistan would value keeping its own nuclear stockpile up and pointed at India more than a few extra bucks. Maybe they'd let a nuke go to NK as a swap for some long range missiles, but I thought the Pak missile programs was at least as good as North Korea's.
I'd also have figured that the Russians would make keeping track of where all the old warheads were one of their absolute top priorities: If NK can get one, so can the Chechens. It wouldn't be the first time Russians have been bribed, of course.
So who else would sell? Not the Brits, not the Israelis, not the Chinese; South Africa claims not to have any, and I have a feeling there'd be pride issues that'd discourage the French from selling any.
Color me dubious.

#12 IOW, the Norkies want Dubya and America to attack them now, i.e. SAVE HILLARY, where "NO WMDS IN IRAQ" = "NO WMDS IN IRAN" = NO WMDS IN NORTH KOREA", ...etc. over and besides Iraq-style pre planned "people's war". Both Americans and the world community will become outraged at the failures of Dubya and America that they will demand REGULATION AND SUPER-REGULATION, BUREAUCRACY ABOVE MORE AND BIGGER BUREAUCRACY, and OWG, within America and outside of America, in the name of seeming proper righteous indignation! The Failed/Angry Left, aka "WIlfully and Unconditionally Support Your Local/Favorite Tyrant-MafiaCrat-Warlord-Profiteer-General-Slaver-Bandit Raider Army", subaka "Your Wife, Women, Cities. Towns, Lands, Monies, Homes, Food, and your pet dogs, even your very Life, belongs to us, and only us", the ones and bandits/predators NOT = ROBIN HOOD, WILL NOT ALLOW AMERICA TO NOT WAGE WAR(S) AROUND THE WORLD. There are no Leftists-Socialists or Commies for the time being in national politics, only [PC = DENIABLE]REGULATORS, BUREAUCRATS/GOVERNMENTISTS,
and WAR = NO WAR BUREAUCRATS! No matter his rhetoric, Ted Kennedy and other Dems is calling for the Dems to event become a de facto National Socialist Party, not a revampment or retranchement of the old pro-America Rightist Democrat Party of Jackson and Wilson thru LBJ! The anti-US Western Lefts protect Radical Islam whilst the Asian Lefts PC wipes them out, aka CLEANING UP LOOSE ENDS ala the 9-11 event, ergo the Clinton-led US Lefts is searching for any controversy to either cause Dubya to resign andor else lead to his PC assassination. an event(s) which would jeopardize the credibility and whole of the US GOP-Right. If Hillary is to be POTUS, and iff they stick to their 2020 maxima timeline, then America and its entire Washington establishment has to be nationally and geopol discredited and suborned NOW, as the Commies must prevent Western-style Capitalism and Democracy from taking root and becoming too strong to challenge.
