Excerpt -

NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- U.S. spy satellites are showing activity in North Korea consistent with the activity seen shortly before the country conducted its first nuclear weapon test, MSNBC reported Monday.

MSNBC, which cited unnamed military and intelligence sources, said the officials couldn't be certain the new above-ground activity indicated a second test would indeed take place.

Let them go ahead and test, let them use all of their bombs up on tests, heck, I don't care if they test in downtown Pyongyang...well, that might be a good idea.

Their blast last week was TNT with a jug of U235 strapped to it to try to fool the world, (just like Saddam's WMD scam. Our spies in the sky will be on hand for the next fraud blast and confirm this fact. This midget dictator is only trying to scare the world into bowing to his demands.China will take care of him soon.

Cats out of the bag now anyway. If NK wants to use another bomb and really cause a panic with one that actually works as designed, then I say let them.

Now that its happened, it might as well benefit us since China won't back sanctions in practice, and Putin's busy assassinating critics of his Admin.

I think a nice big H-Bomb blast might sober up some of the undecided voters here in the US.

"I think a nice big H-Bomb blast "

Thats exactly what he is working toward. These aren't just nukes he's testing, they are plutonium cores, intended to initiate a fission device. Thus clown is saying "F" you to the entire world, China included. A 20KT device is not what he's after. IMHO

Some guy on the news this weekend said that they think that what he exploded was the triggering device for a much much larger H Bomb.

I can't believe you are saying this. This weekend, I was talking about all of this with some friends of mine from UW in Seattle, and we stumbled into the realization that if pencilneck wanted an H-Bomb, he'd have to test the fission part of the bomb first.

Whole conversation stopped when we all realized the plausibility in Kim's action: the test was probably a success, and moreover, the announcement of another test supports the view that Kim is developing an H-bomb.

From there, the whole thing devolved into talk about why four half-drunk idiots on a porch smoking cigars can put this together, but the entire MSM can't.

Expect news of a nuclear device exploding underground in the Pung-gye-ri region of the DPRK about 4-8 hours from now.

There was a intelligence guy on the radio this morning who, suggested We worry more about their chemical weapons than a nuke-tipped ICBM.

Rice warns N. Korea against conducting 2nd nuke test (snip)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16
KYODO

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned North Korea on Monday against conducting a second nuclear test, saying it would further isolate Pyongyang in the international community.

''We're watching it obviously, and discussing with other parties as well,'' Rice said at a press conference when asked about reported indications that North Korea may be preparing to conduct a second nuclear test following the first one on Oct. 9.

''I think it goes to say that would further deepen the isolation of North Korea and I hope they would not take such a provocative act,'' Rice said. . .

Drop Sean Pen and Alec Baldwin on them. They'll set their own nuke off early.
