Three words: Oh my God!
Just what we need now, an North Korea armed with nuclear bombs and with missles that can reach the Western coast.
I wonder how Kerry will fit N. Korea into his plan for fighting a "kinder, gentler" War on Terror? |
No problem for Kerry and ketchup...they get to hide in a
bunker deep underground while the rest of us get to
experience the event |

I'm not too worried about North Korea folks. I mean, South Korea's very crowded, and we could help them out by giving them a nice new glass covered parking lot just to their north. _________________ "The price of freedom is eternal vigilence" - Thomas Jefferson

Kerry's Response as CIC?
Easy:
1) Pull out and pay reparations
2) Go to Koffi Annan and get the UN security council started on the QUESTION of whether or not to consider stern reprimand
3) Visit Paris |

George Bush was in Alabama building a nuke. Being AWOL from the Texas Air National Guard was just his cover. He hid the nuke in North Korea to detonate during the final days of the election in 2004 to keep the focus on him and terrorism instead of the real issues. Yeah, that is what happened. He's lying, lying I tell you. _________________ I was going to become an anarchist, but they had too many rules. |

Kerry (and the Dem Machine) will spin it at least two ways to see which version gains greater traction with the MSM (note: MSM is what matters, not the voters), e.g.:
1) Bush is to be blamed for not taking unilateral action, i.e., he's not as tuff as Kerry promises to be (being a bona-fide 4-month hero of Vietnam)
2) Bush is to be blamed for not getting a U.N. resolution to prohibit whatever it is that the NKs are doing. |

Heres another version of how this story will be spinned if it does turn out it was some nuke test.
When Clinon and Co decided to give the NKs that sweetheart deal with the facilities on the promise that the NKs wouldn't develope a nuclear weapons program, the NKs only used the facilities for "peaceful" energy production.
Enter the "evil-Fascist" George Bush. He scares the NKs with his "Axis of Terror" speech and the NKs, to protect themselves, started a Manhattan-like nuclear bomb project.
Now, if John Kerry is elected, he'll be nice to the NKs and the NKs will dismantle their nuclear-weapons facilities. After all, Kerry wants to give nuclear fuel to the Iranians.
It won't surprise me if some idiot in the MSM spins this NK development, if it does turn out to be a nuke test, in this fashion. _________________ "Anyone can make an error.

[quote="Wing Wiper"...]I'm positive the U.S. knows by now whether this was a nuclear test or not, including the type of bomb, the yield and the mass and efficiency of the design.[/quote]
Uh, yup...I'm quite sure they do.
What's interesting is that the administration is saying "no", it's not a nuc. I'm wondering if it was a massive underground explosion, producing the large cloud and related crater apparently seen by satellite.
Worrisome in any case.... _________________ MJB

Well I think we can say it wasn't an above ground test because all that was seen was the cloud. An above ground test even durring the day would have been quit obvious. Lets see if anyone from near there reports anything releated to the effects of EMP. _________________ Proud to be an American! and member of the PAJAMAHADEEN

Well here is your spin, from the AP
North Korea May Test Nukes, U.S. Warned
Quote: | Democrat John Kerry said that just the idea that the United States was thinking North Korea might test a nuclear weapon highlights a national security failure by Bush. Under Bush's watch, North Korea has advanced its nuclear program, he said. |

N Korea says it blew up mountain

Oh, that's all. Just a little old mountain. No biggie. It was in the way - you know, hard to clean around, all those trees getting in the way.
So, what...they popped a few roman candles in and around the base of the mountain?
Let's imagine how many weapons can just, blow up a mountain. From underneath. _________________ MJB

You know that if it had been a nuc there would have not been any speculation about it, and we would have been able to detect the radioactivity, right?
There are alot of different types of explosions that produce mushroom shaped clouds. For proof, just wait a few days and look in the direction of the Kerry campaign.
They blew up a mountain? On purpose? Why? Was it blocking the reception to Kim Yuk Ill's TV?
Yeah, right, they blew up a mountain. Some N. Korean weapons tech got drunk and fell into a munitions depot with a lit cigarette.
As for Kerry's reaction, he is so tiresomely predictible. Kerry: "Something happened? Well then it proves Bush lied, and didn't protect us"
My advice to Kerry: Get a real job; you obviously have too much time on your hands. |
