#1 IIUC Kimmie waited from 11/2009 until CHINA sent a potent task force on high seas "Show the Flag/Dragon's Teeth" to order a "human torpedo" suicide attack agz the Cheonan???

* WORLD NEWS > NORTH KOREA DEMANDS "NUCLEAR WEAPONS STATE" STATUS, which the USA = POTUS BAmmer has repor rejected.

* SAME > SEOUL REJECTS REDEPLOYMENT OF US NUCLEAR WEAPONS, in face of Cheonan incident + dev DPRK nuclear threats. READ, NUKE SUMMIT 2012.

* TOPIX > NORTH KOREA: WE WILL PRODUCE AS MANY NUCLEAR WEAPONS AS NEEDED, to defend agz the US-Allied threat.

Wherefore goes NORTH KOREA's NUKES, so goes IRAN'S NUCPROGS and vicey verseys.

#2 Seeing as the Norks and the Iranians are cooperating on everything, perhaps this is part of what they meant by unconventional techniques they would use against us if we were to attack.

#3 In the Iran-Iraq war, the Iranians sent waves of children against Iraq's machine guns to waste their ammo and overheat them before guys with guns attacked. Human torpedoes would be nothing.

#4 'Warnings' against torpedoes achieve nothing. What are you going to do, not patrol where torpedoes might be used?

Instead, hopefully what will happen is that Skor agents will infiltrate up North and blow up a few vital dams, which will leave them with little electricity for a year.

#5 At least a 65 year old concept from the Japanese WWII...longer if one considers some of the covert ops of the 1st gen subs trying to place a mine on wooden ships, even further depending on how loose one wants to get with the definition of suicide mission.

#7 Active sonar would put an end to that shit real quick. They'd come floatin to the surface like dead fish.
