Well, I’d put it this way:

They DO have a workable bomb, and have successfully tested nuclear devices several times.

They do NOT have a workable long-range delivery system, as their ballistic missile tests have demonstrated.

I don’t doubt that what you intended to say was that they don’t have a workable nuclear-equipped ballistic missile.

What is frightening about Iran is that they are well ahead of North Korea on ballistic missile devices, and also would have a significantly easier time purchasing such technology than isolated North Korea.

I wonder what will happen when Kim Jong Il gets close to death. But I believe that Iran is the much greater threat.

No I do not believe they have a bomb. Those tests you mention were not of a bomb per se. They were detected as suspicious activity but I have seen no concrete evidence of a real bomb. I realize their missiles are medium range at best. Iran’s missiles are capable of hitting Israel perhaps but that is about the limit of their range.

I am not trying to diminish the threat posed by these two regimes but the reporting on both is even less enlightning than most of the bilge printed by the Treason media.
